Role
Who you are
- Early in your career, with 0–3 years of work experience, eager to grow in a fast-paced startup environment
- A confident communicator who enjoys engaging with people, especially over the phone
- A fast learner who quickly grasps new concepts and adapts based on feedback
- Resilient and persistent — comfortable hearing many “nos” before getting to a “yes.”
- Strong alignment with our Core Values
What the job involves
- GovWell is hiring a Business Development Manager to help accelerate our growth by building and leading customer acquisition efforts
- You’ll be responsible for engaging prospective government customers — on the phone, over email, and at events — while shaping the playbook for how GovWell grows
- This role reports directly to Shane Lieberman, Manager of Business Development, and offers significant ownership and growth potential in a fast-scaling startup
- 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
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.
