Open sales seats whose posted location names Washington DC or the Northern Virginia and Maryland suburbs where federal sellers work (Arlington, Reston, McLean, Herndon, Tysons, Bethesda), read from each employer's own careers page. Each employer's careers system is read again every hour, so a seat it fills drops off this page at the next read.

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.

Ask before you sign

The District has required pay ranges in job postings since June 2024, Maryland since October 2024 and Virginia since July 2026, so most roles here show one: 87% of the District's sales roles on this board did on 1 November 2026. Ask how the quota counts multi-year contracts, which can take quarters to award.

Posted pay for each kind of seat

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

How much does a Washington DC sales seat pay?

The open Washington DC sales roles carry 396 separate posted pay ranges. The middle of that market is $125k–$358k/yr and its median $175k/yr, each figure the range a posting states, base or OTE as it labels it. The richest posting tops out at $840k/yr, at Okta. 80 of the 489 leave pay out, which usually means the number comes up at the recruiter screen.

Do federal sales jobs need a security clearance?

Some do. Seats that sell to defense and intelligence agencies often ask for an active clearance or the ability to obtain one, and nearly all ask for a record with the agencies the territory covers. How many of today's open roles here ask for a clearance is counted on this page. Counting the requirement lines of 141 open Washington DC sales roles, 33 a bachelor's or some degree and 108 mention no degree at all.

Who hires salespeople in Washington DC?

Companies that sell to the federal government, above all. Among the employers with the most open sales roles here on 1 November 2026 were Salesforce, Databricks, ZoomInfo, Anduril Industries, Okta, Anthropic and Gartner. Many seats sell to one group of agencies (civilian, defense or intelligence) through contract vehicles and partners, and sales engineering is one in seven seats, the highest share of any city on the board.

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. Apex, LangChain, Anthropic and Ridgeline 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.
