The Role
We’re hiring a Public Sector Growth founding team member to drive our go-to-market strategy and public sector relationships at the state, local, and federal levels. You will own top-level growth metrics, build lasting partnerships with government buyers, and help define how AI transforms public sector procurement and operations.

Startup experience with an ability to operate in a fast-paced environment
Experience selling technology to the public sector (state, local, or federal)
Strong relationship building skills with government buyers
AI-native approach to operations & business development
Why Join Us?
Work alongside a small, high-impact founding team (3-4 people)
Build from the ground up and play a pivotal role in shaping the company
Our team works onsite 5 days a week at our office in Herald Square, New York
Free lunch provided in the office to keep you fueled
Be part of a mission-driven company poised for massive scale
