Xometry (NASDAQ: XMTR) powers the industries of today and tomorrow by connecting the people with big ideas to the manufacturers who can bring them to life. Xometry’s digital marketplace gives manufacturers the critical resources they need to grow their business while also making it easy for buyers at Fortune 1000 companies to tap into global manufacturing capacity.
Xometry is looking for a Sales Manager, US Defense Sales responsible for building and leading a high-performing sales team focused on direct U.S. Government demand across the Department of War (Army, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, and Special Operations). This role is centered on capturing sustainment, readiness, and research-driven manufacturing demand, with a strong focus on environments where the government owns or authors technical data such as research labs, depots, and program offices.

- Drive Direct Government Growth Strategy
- Develop and execute account strategies focused on sustainment and MRO demand, NIIN and NSN-driven procurement, and low-volume, high-mix manufacturing requirements
- Prioritize opportunities where the government owns technical data and procurement cycles are shorter and less OEM-constrained
- Build targeted outbound motions into high-value DoW entities
- Build Repeatable Government Sales Plays
- Develop and scale playbooks for lab-driven demand, depot and sustainment sourcing, and legacy part reproduction and reverse engineering workflows
- Standardize qualification and deal progression for technical data packages and incomplete drawings
- Improve win rates on complex, manually quoted opportunities
- Own Cross-Functional Execution
- Partner with engineering, sourcing, and operations to ensure strong execution
- Ensure high-confidence delivery on mission-critical orders
- Lead structured deal reviews for large or strategic opportunities
- Pipeline, Forecasting and Performance Management
- Maintain pipeline discipline and forecasting accuracy in Salesforce
- Use data to identify conversion gaps, cycle time inefficiencies, and expansion opportunities
- Report key metrics, risks, and insights to leadership
- Motions grounded building a #300 million run rate business by FY28

- 6-10+ years of sales experience
- Experience selling into U.S. Government environments, Department of War or DoD preferred
