Job description

About Virtualitics

Virtualitics is the category leader in AI-native readiness applications for defense, government, and critical infrastructure. Founded on a decade of Caltech research in partnership with NASA/JPL, we are led by scientists, strategists, and servicemembers united by a single mission: to solve the world’s most complex, mission‑critical challenges with AI.

Our Readiness AI solutions deliver operational certainty — giving leaders and operators a clear picture of what’s ready, what’s at risk, and what to do next. By identifying risks early, diagnosing root causes, and recommending prioritized actions with transparent, explainable AI, we help organizations move from data complexity to decision advantage.

Behind that impact is relentless innovation. Inventors at heart, we hold 15+ U.S. patents and are leading the shift toward agent‑driven readiness. But what truly sets us apart is our culture — relentless about results, grounded in transparency, and driven by compassion for the mission and the people it serves.

If you’re motivated by impact, inspired by technical depth, and ready to build AI that performs where it matters most — you’ll find your mission here.

This individual will be a key driver of our growth within the Department of War (DoW), focusing on Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications that directly impact U.S. Army readiness. The ideal candidate will be a strategic thinker, aggressive and outcome oriented, with a proven track record of selling complex AI software solutions into the Army and a deep understanding of the challenges facing the Army in areas of sustainment, logistics, and operational availability. Reporting directly to the Sales Director within the GTM Organization.

• Sales Account Management: Develop and execute comprehensive account strategies to penetrate key Army commands, program executive offices, and agencies. Identify key stakeholders, understand their challenges, and map our solutions to their critical readiness missions.

• Customer Relationship Building: Establish and nurture strong, long‑lasting relationships with decision‑makers, influencers, and end‑users across the Army.

• Solution‑Oriented Selling: Act as a trusted advisor to clients by deeply understanding their specific readiness needs across various domains, including:

  • Aviation, ground vehicle, and equipment asset availability and sustainment operations.

  • Self‑starter with the ability to work independently and as part of a collaborative team in a fast‑paced environment.

  • Willingness to travel 40‑50% as required to engage with Army commands and agencies.

• Preferred:
