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

Ask before you sign

A clearance requirement narrows who can apply, and most seats here require US citizenship. Ask which contract vehicles and partners the company already holds: without one, your first year goes into building the path a customer can buy through.

Pay by kind of sales work

Each row's band comes from that kind's own open postings in this market, by the method behind every band on the board (from the 25th percentile of the midpoints of posted ranges (each counted as yearly pay, a rate per hour at 2,080 hours) to the 90th percentile of their top ends); a row needs three distinct posted ranges before it gets one. Every figure is yearly pay in US dollars; where a posting quotes a rate per hour, week or month, it is multiplied by 2,080, 52 or 12 to make a full-time year (40 hours over 52 weeks).

Frequently asked questions

What do public sector sales jobs pay?

The open public sector sales roles carry 208 separate posted pay ranges. The middle of that market is $164k–$372k/yr and its median $193k/yr, each figure the range a posting states, base or OTE as it labels it. The richest posting tops out at $675k/yr, at Cohere. 109 of the 317 leave pay out, which usually means the number comes up at the recruiter screen.

Will selling to government require a clearance?

Defense and intelligence seats often do, and the posting names the level (Secret, Top Secret, TS/SCI). Many employers sponsor one for the right hire, but an active clearance gets you to a first deal sooner. Civilian federal and state and local seats tend to ask for US citizenship and public procurement experience instead. Counting the requirement lines of 39 open public sector sales roles, 8 a bachelor's or some degree and 31 mention no degree at all.

What is selling to government like?

You sell to the buying calendar. Federal deals follow the fiscal year (its last quarter closes on 30 September), contract vehicles such as GSA schedules, and the partners who hold them. State and local deals run on budgets, RFPs and public meetings. Relationships compound: the same program offices and integrators come back cycle after cycle.

Are these openings real?

Each one is read from the employer's own careers system (Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workday and the like), and Apply takes you to that company's application. Garner Health, Anthropic, Glean and Plaid are among the employers on this page. A real employer never charges you for training, a starter kit or a background check; the scam checker lists the other warning signs of a fake offer.
