Head of GTM - Cortex Insights

About Exe Qut

Exe Qut is an AI, Data, and Cybersecurity transformation partner helping regulated mid-market organizations — in healthcare, insurance, and beyond — modernize their identity, cloud, and AI capabilities without putting compliance at risk.

Cortex Insights is an AI intelligence layer for 311 and municipal operations, built in-house  product is built, the engineering team exists, the delivery organization exists, and it is already in front of county-level buyers. What doesn't exist yet is a dedicated commercial owner. That is this role.

This is a co-founder seat, not a sales job. You will own the entire go-to-market for Cortex Insights — from first paying municipality through repeatable commercial motion.

Exe Qut deliberately kept municipal out of its cybersecurity commercial build because the government buyer is fundamentally different: longer cycles, procurement rules, budget calendars, and a relationship-driven motion that deserves a full-time owner rather than a side lane. You are that owner.

We are honest about the stage: pre-revenue, active early conversations, product built and demo-ready. You are joining at the moment between product existence and commercial proof. If that tradeoff works for you, read on.

• Commercial ownership — Close the first paying municipal clients and build the repeatable motion from those wins
• Pricing and packaging — Define how Cortex Insights goes to market: pricing model, contract structure, procurement path
• Procurement strategy — Navigate government procurement cycles, budget calendars, RFP processes, and sole-source vehicles
• Channel and partnerships — Identify and activate the right channel — system integrators, govtech partners, municipal associations — to scale beyond direct sales
• Narrative and positioning — Own the story: how Cortex Insights is positioned to municipal buyers, what the pitch is, and how it evolves with market feedback
• Pipeline and forecasting — Build and manage the early-stage pipeline, report to Exe Qut leadership on commercial progress

• 5–7 years of experience in government technology sales, municipal or public sector business development, or govtech go-to-market
• Deep familiarity with how municipal governments buy technology — procurement rules, budget cycles, decision-maker mapping
• A track record of closing deals in the public sector, not just building pipeline
• Based in Maryland/Baltimore area — municipal clients and travel require US local presence
• Comfort operating at the earliest commercial stage — you build the process, you don't inherit it

• Existing relationships with municipal buyers, county administrators, or 311/city operations decision-makers
• Experience with government procurement vehicles (GSA, cooperative purchasing, sole-source)
• Familiarity with govtech ecosystems — associations, events, system integrators
• Experience in an early-stage or startup environment where the playbook didn't exist yet

This is an equity-first co-founder engagement. Terms including equity range, cash component, and structure are open and negotiated based on the right candidate. Exe Qut is transparent about the tradeoff: you are taking on commercial risk at the pre-revenue stage in exchange for meaningful ownership in what you build.

• You report directly to Exe Qut executive leadership
• The engineering, product, and delivery organization is already in place — you are not building that
• Travel to municipal clients and govtech events is expected
• Maryland/Baltimore local office presence required

• You have sold to government and know how to navigate the process without losing momentum
• You want to own a commercial outcome end to end, not execute someone else's playbook
• You are energized by pre-revenue stage where your actions create the result directly
• You want equity in what you build, not just a commission check

• You need an established pipeline, existing brand recognition, or a defined sales process to work from
• You want a salaried sales role with a quota — this is a co-founder commitment
• You have never sold to government and are unfamiliar with how municipalities buy
