About Aretum
Selling at Aretum means winning federal contracts: its buyers are Defense, Homeland Security and civilian agencies, reached through vehicles it holds such as GSA MAS, OASIS+, Polaris, NASA SEWP VI and SeaPort NxG, and the work is IT modernization, cybersecurity, data engineering, mission support staffing and products like FedRequest and DAPPER. Business development is split by market, and the two seats open on 2 Nov 2026 are directors for the Defense sector and the Federal Civilian sector, each building a qualified pipeline, shaping opportunities before they become solicitations, arranging teaming with large and small primes and subs, and recommending bid or no-bid alongside the capture, proposal and pricing teams. Both sit in McLean, Virginia, hybrid, with about a quarter of the time on the road to customer sites and industry events in the DC, Maryland and Virginia region. The other three of the 5 postings its board counts as sales are delivery roles rather than selling ones: a data solution engineer and a senior data solution engineer building Databricks pipelines for DHS work, and a ServiceNow solutions specialist who doubles as scrum master on a contract not yet awarded. All five list McLean as their location, though the three delivery seats are remote.

Job seekers never pay to use this board. An Apply button opens the employer's own application page, or the page of the recruiting firm filling the seat; only where a company or its recruiting firm pays us for a hire who came from here does that link carry our referral code, and the fee comes from them, never out of the base or OTE the role offers you.
