Role
Who you are

- You have a proven track record of launching and scaling products in B2B SaaS, ideally with enterprise SaaS customers
- Experience working with technical teams to build products that integrate with complex systems or workflows
- Hands-on experience with product discovery techniques, such as customer interviews, usability testing, and data analysis

- You're motivated by having a positive impact in the world
- You have a strong product sense and customer-focused mindset
- You align closely with our Core Values and have passion for our mission

- Passion for government and public service
What the job involves
- Notion for product roadmap management
- Monday.com for customer success management
- Intercom for collecting direct customer feedback and offering in-app support
- Impact at scale: Every feature you ship directly improves government services for hundreds of thousands of residents. From permitting small businesses to accelerating affordable housing developments, your work will make an immediate difference
- Your contributions will help governments work better for people who rely on them every day
- A front-row seat to a startup in hyper-growth: As an early team member, you’ll learn what it takes to scale a company from the ground up
- You’ll work closely with the founders, shape the culture, and leave your fingerprints on the product
Our take
Govwell creates software for planning and zoning within local governments, simplifying processes and modernising citizen services. With the intention of improving transparency, it is helping all sizes of government serve its communities better.
What stands out about GovWell’s workflow and automation technology is the fact that its platform is customisable. Government sectors, councils and organisations operate their tech in varying ways, and so GovWell serves these varying needs by allowing flexibility of use within its platform. This is facilitated by no-code tools to improve adaptability.
Ultimately, the platform helps local governments complete tasks in a fraction of the time. It’s a breath of fresh air in the sector, which isn’t known for its innovations, and GovWell has been smart to target this niche. It will channel recent funding into expanding its team, enhancing product development and accelerating growth.
