🏛️ About GovWell

We the people (and the taxpayers) deserve good government - but today’s public sector software is stuck in the past. GovWell is building the AI-powered platform transforming how governments serve communities.

GovWell replaces legacy software for municipalities and counties, empowering public servants to automate paperwork and streamline services for residents. With GovWell’s AI-powered workflow engine, customers simplify complex processes such as permitting, licensing and customer service, reducing processing times by up to 90%.

Founded in 2023, GovWell powers daily workflows for municipalities and counties in 27 states serving millions of residents. GovWell has raised $9.5 million in funding from Work-Bench and Bienville Capital. Read about our founding story in TechCrunch.

🏙️ Location

This position is hybrid (3+ days in person) at our NYC HQ in the heart of Manhattan. We have a primarily in-person culture and value being together in office for a substantial period each week, although the exact days and hours are flexible.

💻 What you’ll do

• Grow the business by engaging and building relationships with potential customers on the phone, over email, and at events & conferences.

• Contribute to our growth strategy via creative new outreach strategies and messaging that resonates. On a given day, you might write a new email sequence, revamp your cold call script, travel to attend a conference, or decide that a value proposition we hadn’t considered before is actually what resonates best with prospects.

• Hustle, a lot. Compared to a larger company, you’ll have way more autonomy to come up with your own strategies, but at the end of the day we need someone who can get sh*t done and execute.

• Help define our company culture as an exciting place to work and grow.

🧠 Who you are

• A confident communicator who enjoys talking to people, especially on the phone.

• A fast learner who grasps new concepts quickly and implements feedback instantly.

• A self-reflective thinker who is constantly aiming to get better at what they do.

• A resilient personality who is used to hearing many “nos” before getting to a “yes.”
  
  

👀 What we like to see

• Evidence of scrappiness and work ethic, a “whatever it takes” mentality.

• Demonstrated interest in public service / government.

• Previous experience doing cold outreach, especially via phone.

• Strong alignment with our Core Values.

• Familiarity with sales engagement and CRM software like Outreach and Salesforce.
  

💸 Salary and benefits

• Competitive base salary and uncapped earnings.

• Meaningful equity.

• Up to 100% premiums covered for medical, dental, and vision insurance for yourself and partner.

• Company sponsored retirement plans.

• Unlimited / flexible PTO.
