About the role
As RVP, Federal Sales at Cursor, you'll build and lead the team responsible for revenue growth across our federal accounts within Public Sector. You'll hire, coach, and scale a team of Account Executives, set territory and account strategy, and personally engage in top strategic and executive-level relationships. You'll partner with engineering leaders across federal agencies — from CTOs to program leads — to show how Cursor transforms developer productivity, and drive land-and-expand motion at scale across the segment.
This role requires deep technical fluency, command of complex enterprise and government buying processes, and a genuine passion for AI-powered developer tools. You'll be a foundational leader in our enterprise sales organization, based in the DC-metro area.
What you’ll do
Build, hire, and lead a high-performing team of federal Account Executives; own forecasting, pipeline health, and quota attainment across the region.
Set and execute go-to-market strategy for a named territory of federal agencies, driving new agency acquisition, expansion revenue, and long-term strategic growth.
Personally engage in the largest, most strategic deals — leading complex, multi-threaded sales cycles across Engineering, Product, Security, Procurement, Legal, and mission-critical stakeholders.
Coach your team to become trusted product experts, guiding federal prospects through trials, technical evaluations, security reviews, and large-scale rollouts.
Build executive relationships across agencies, integrators, and technical teams, and represent Cursor at the CIO/CISO/senior-executive level.
Establish clear ROI frameworks tied to developer productivity, AI adoption, mission outcomes, and secure software delivery, and ensure your team applies them consistently.
Serve as the voice of the federal customer to leadership, shaping roadmap, compliance, deployment, and procurement strategy.
Partner closely with Field Engineering and the AI Deployment team to ensure outcomes from proof of concept through production deployment and expansion.
Navigate and build repeatable playbooks for federal procurement processes, contract vehicles, partners, and compliance requirements to accelerate adoption across the region.
You may be a fit if
You have 8+ years of federal or enterprise technology sales experience, including 3+ years leading and scaling a quota-carrying sales team, ideally in developer tools, technical SaaS, infrastructure, cybersecurity, or emerging technologies.
You have a consistent track record of building and leading teams that land new logos, expand strategic accounts, and exceed quota.
You're a builder — you've stood up or scaled a territory/team from the ground up, with a bias for hands-on involvement in outbound prospecting, account mapping, and partner leverage.
You're comfortable navigating complex federal sales cycles and coaching others to sell to technical and mission-oriented stakeholders — from engineers and program leaders to CISOs, CIOs, and senior executives.
You understand federal buying motions, procurement processes, security expectations, and partner ecosystems, and can translate that knowledge into team strategy and enablement.
You bring an analytical approach to pipeline and forecasting, combined with the creative, tactical instincts to unblock deals and coach reps through them.
You're an excellent communicator and leader who builds trust across all levels of an organization — your team, customers, and executive stakeholders alike.
You're passionate about AI and excited by the idea that transforming how software gets written is one of the most important problems to work on right now.
