About Liquid AI
Spun out of MIT CSAIL, we build general-purpose AI systems that run efficiently across deployment targets, from data center accelerators to on-device hardware, ensuring low latency, minimal memory usage, privacy, and reliability. We partner with enterprises across consumer electronics, automotive, life sciences, and financial services. We are scaling rapidly and need exceptional people to help us get there.
The Opportunity
You’ll build Liquid AI’s public sector business, with an initial focus on U.S. defense, turning early customer wins into sustained adoption of Liquid Foundation Models. Our models can bring AI to environments where connectivity, compute, power, and data access are constrained, creating opportunities to solve real mission problems.
Working directly with our founders, business leadership, and engineers, you’ll decide where to focus, develop customer and partner relationships, and own opportunities from first conversation through contract award, deployment, and expansion.
This is a hands-on commercial leadership role with revenue responsibility and the scope to shape both our public sector strategy and the products that support it.ducts and market priorities while staying close to customers and the details of execution.
You must be based in the Washington, DC metropolitan area, or relocate there by your start date, and be available for regular in-person customer and partner engagement and domestic travel.
What We're Looking For
We need someone who:
Turns interest into commitment: You ask who needs the capability, who can fund it, and how it will be purchased. You establish concrete next steps and reset or stop pursuits when there is no credible path forward.
Makes decisions with incomplete information: You choose where to invest time and technical resources, test your assumptions with customers, and adjust as evidence changes.
Works through the details: You stay close to technical requirements, commercial terms, and delivery dependencies. You bring the right people into the conversation, challenge assumptions, and make commitments grounded in what the team can deliver.
The Work
Own revenue and account strategy. Source, qualify, negotiate, and close public sector and defense opportunities, then develop renewals and expansion. Prioritize agencies, programs, and partners, with account plans and forecasts grounded in customer commitments, funding, and contracting milestones.
Build relationships and a path to purchase. Engage mission users, technical leaders, program managers, budget owners, and contracting teams. Shape pursuits around acquisition timelines and available contract routes, deciding when to sell directly or work through a prime, integrator, or reseller.
Turn technical evaluations into funded deployments. Work with solutions and engineering teams to establish the customer’s requirements for accuracy, latency, memory, power, connectivity, and deployment environment, then define use cases, target hardware, performance criteria, resources, and timelines. Establish the funding and transition path early, and coordinate security, data handling, authorization, and integration requirements.
Lead commercial negotiations. Structure model licensing, embedded distribution, partner agreements, and scoped development work with Legal and Finance. Align pricing, usage rights, data and intellectual property, support, and delivery commitments.
Build partnerships that extend our reach. Develop relationships with defense primes, integrators, and defense technology companies that can bring Liquid into broader platforms and programs. Coordinate joint pursuits and proposal inputs.
Establish how the business scales. Build account coverage, qualification standards, and a regular pipeline review process. Turn early wins into repeatable approaches, bring customer requirements into product planning, and help leadership identify future capabilities and hiring needs.
Experience & Capabilities
What you'll need:
A strong record of personally sourcing and closing U.S. defense business in software, AI/ML, infrastructure, or another technically complex market, with clear revenue ownership and performance against targets.
Established relationships within defense agencies, military services, program offices, or major defense contractors, and evidence of turning those relationships into qualified opportunities.
Practical knowledge of defense budgeting and acquisition, including direct awards, competitive pursuits, contract vehicles, and selling through primes. Experience moving a prototype or pilot into sustained, funded use.
Technical fluency to discuss model evaluation, deployment options, and hardware constraints with AI and engineering leaders, and translate those discussions into a clear commercial scope.
Experience negotiating complex agreements and coordinating Product, Engineering, Legal, Finance, and delivery teams through award and implementation.
Experience building a new market, territory, or sales motion at an early-stage or growth-stage company.
Helpful, not required:
Experience selling foundation models, AI infrastructure, embedded software, or edge computing products, including on-premises and disconnected deployments.
Experience embedding a product into a defense partner’s broader platform or program, including commercial licensing and subcontracting.
An active U.S. security clearance, particularly Top Secret or TS/SCI, and experience working with customers in classified environments.
What Success Looks Like (Year One)
Closed public sector and defense business, with a qualified pipeline supported by identified buyers, funding sources, acquisition paths, and realistic timelines.
At least one customer evaluation converted into a funded deployment, with agreed performance requirements and a clear basis for continued use and expansion.
A repeatable approach to priority accounts and partners, informed by early wins, with consistent qualification, forecasting, and customer feedback into product decisions.
What We Offer
Build a business with the founders: Shape Liquid’s public sector direction, influence our products, and own the customer relationships and commercial results that establish the practice.
Compensation & Equity: Competitive base salary, variable compensation, and equity, so you share in what we build. Final offers reflect skills, experience, and location.
Time Off: Unlimited PTO, plus company-wide Refill Days, long weekends when the whole company rests together.
Health & Wellbeing: Comprehensive health coverage, with details varying by location.
Paid Leave: Paid leave for pregnancy, parenting, medical needs, and caring for family.

Tips for Your Remote Public Sector Consultant Job Search
Signal async communication skills upfront
Remote public sector consulting runs on written communication. Highlight examples of policy memos, stakeholder briefings, or program reports you have produced independently. Remote employers want evidence you can move work forward without needing a meeting to do it.
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote public sector consultant openings from across the U.S. in one place, so you can find roles that match your background and apply directly without sorting through unrelated listings.
Show your government client experience clearly
Remote public sector consultant hiring managers scan for direct government client work fast. Name the agency type, program scope, and deliverable in your resume rather than describing the engagement in general consulting language. Federal, state, and municipal experience read differently, so distinguish them.
Prepare for asynchronous remote interviews
Many remote public sector consulting firms use written case exercises or recorded video responses as a first screening step. Practice presenting a policy problem and your recommended approach clearly in writing or in a short recorded format before you reach the interview stage.
Remote Public Sector Consultant Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote public sector consultant job?
Remote public sector consultant roles go to candidates who can demonstrate self-direction, strong written communication, and the ability to manage stakeholder relationships without in-person contact. Firms hiring remotely screen for experience with government clients, policy analysis, or program management delivered across distributed teams. Certifications like PMP or a background in federal procurement, healthcare policy, or infrastructure planning give candidates a clear edge for remote positions.
Which companies hire remote public sector consultants?
Remote public sector consultant roles are posted by ServiceNow, DXC Technology, and CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield and others right now, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. The employers hiring most actively tend to be remote-first management consulting firms, government affairs advisory practices, and distributed policy organizations working in defense, public health, and civic infrastructure.
Can you get a remote public sector consultant job with no experience?
Yes, but remote entry-level public sector consultant roles are harder to land because employers expect you to operate independently from day one with minimal oversight. Candidates can offset limited experience by showing government internships, policy research projects, or volunteer work with public agencies. Remote-first boutique consulting firms and nonprofits with government contracts are the most likely starting points for entry-level remote candidates.
Do you need a degree for remote public sector consultant jobs?
Usually, but the field that matters more than the credential itself. Most remote employers in public sector consulting expect at least a bachelor's degree in public policy, political science, public administration, or a related field. Candidates who can show concrete deliverables, such as policy briefs, program evaluations, or government contract work, can sometimes compensate for a less directly relevant academic background.
Which industries hire the most remote public sector consultants?
Most remote public sector consultant openings sit in Technology & Software, Electronics & Hardware, and Non-Profit & Social Services, per current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors rely on distributed advisory teams to serve government clients and public agencies without requiring consultants to be on-site at any single location.
