Senior Technical Account Manager - Federal
WFA Digital Insight
UiPath’s Federal Technical Account Manager sits at the intersection of cutting‑edge automation and government compliance. Unlike a typical account role, this position demands hands‑on creation of proof‑of‑concepts and agentic AI prototypes directly inside secure federal environments, while also serving as the trusted technical voice for senior leaders. The job blends deep technical depth—architecting deployments that meet FedRAMP and FISMA standards—with the ability to translate complex solutions into measurable mission outcomes. Candidates will need to navigate ambiguous requirements, drive adoption across multiple agency layers, and partner with product, engineering, and security teams to keep the platform both innovative and compliant. It’s a rare chance to shape automation strategy at the national level.
Job Description

- Bring a portfolio or case studies that showcase end‑to‑end automation implementations, especially any with measurable mission impact.
- Research UiPath’s latest Agentic AI features so you can speak intelligently about how you’d apply them to federal use cases.
