- Partner with Product and Engineering to launch new products and features, building repeatable go-to-market plans including messaging, launch tiering, channel coordination, and customer communications
- Own sales enablement by creating and maintaining battle cards, competitive one-pagers, decks, and other materials that help Sales and Business Development teams win deals

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 has seen good funding to support team expansion, enhanced product development and accelerated growth.
