American Institute of Physics
American Institute of Physics Salary
Chantilly, VA Full Time
POSTED ON 4/22/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 5/21/2026
Senior Outside Sales Executive – Managed IT Services

Northern Virginia & Washington, DC

Territory: Northern VA, Washington, DC, & Southern MD (field-based)

Reports To: VP of Sales

Compensation: Strong base uncapped commission

This Role Is for Proven SMB Hunters

We are not looking for a junior seller, order taker, or someone learning MSP sales for the first time.

We are hiring a senior, field-based sales professional who has already sold services to local SMBs, understands recurring revenue, and knows how to build trust with executive decision-makers.

If you have closed service agreements before, know how to run a discovery-driven sales process, and want the autonomy to own a territory with real earning potential—this role is built for you.

About Us

We are a mature IT managed services provider with strong client retention. Our clients are typically 10–200 users (average :40 users) across:

  • Professional services (legal, CPA, architecture, engineering)
  • Construction and manufacturing
  • Other SMBs that value stability, security, and long-term partnerships


We sell long-term managed services agreements, not one-off projects, and we support our sales team with marketing materials, technical leadership, and proven delivery.

What You’ll Be Responsible For

Owning and Growing the Territory

  • Full ownership of new business development in Northern VA, Washington DC, and Southern MD.
  • Prospecting, networking, referrals, and strategic outreach—you are expected to hunt
  • Running introductory meetings, onsite discovery, and executive-level conversations


Selling MSP the Right Way

  • Leading consultative discovery focused on business risk, security, growth, and operations
  • Selling managed services, cybersecurity, cloud, and strategic IT roadmaps
  • Working with internal technical resources to scope and price solutions
  • Managing deals end-to-end—from discovery to proposal to close
  • Closing recurring revenue agreements and building a long-term book of business


Becoming a Trusted Advisor

  • Building deep relationships with owners, partners, CFOs, COOs, and executive leadership
  • Establishing credibility as an MSP and security advisor—not a commodity vendor
  • Driving expansions, referrals, and long-term account growth post-close
  • Representing the company at networking groups, industry events, and local associations


Who We’re Looking For

This Role Is a Fit If You Have:

  • Minimum 5 years of B2B sales experience, with direct MSP experience strongly preferred
  • A proven track record closing managed services agreements
  • Experience selling recurring revenue to SMBs (10–200 users)
  • Comfort running in-person meetings and executive-level conversations
  • A true hunter mindset—you create momentum, not wait for it
  • Experience selling into professional services or regulated SMBs is a strong plus


This Role Is NOT a Fit If You:

  • Are new to MSP or IT sales
  • Prefer account management over hunting
  • Need heavy structure, scripts, or micromanagement
  • Are uncomfortable owning your own pipeline and territory


What Success Looks Like

  • A consistent, self-generated pipeline of MSP opportunities
  • Closed-won managed services clients with long-term contracts
  • Predictable monthly and quarterly performance
  • Strong local reputation and referral network in Northern VA & DC, Southern MD
  • Growing recurring revenue year over year


What We Offer

  • Competitive base salary with uncapped commissions
  • Strong service delivery and leadership backing your sales
  • Autonomy to run your day-to-day activities in your territory
  • A stable MSP with real scale, resources, and client retention
  • Long-term career opportunity for top performers
  • Employee ownership through the WingSwept ESOP
