🏛️ About GovWell

We the people (and the taxpayers) deserve efficient government — but the software powering government services is 20 years behind the private sector. GovWell builds software that helps government serve communities better. Founded in 2023, GovWell now powers critical services for municipalities and counties in 25 states serving more than a million residents. GovWell has raised $5.5 million from Work-Bench and Bienville Capital. Read about us in TechCrunch.

📜 Founding Story

Our mission is deeply personal for us. Ben Cohen, CTO and Co-Founder grew up helping his father — a general contractor — to apply for hundreds of construction permits. Ben’s experiences navigating clunky government websites inspired him to build better solutions for the millions of tradespeople whose livelihoods depend on getting permits fast. Prior to founding GovWell, Ben worked for Uber and Amazon as a Software Engineer, and earned his AB in Computer Science summa cum laude from Princeton.

Troy LeCaire, CEO and Co-Founder, was previously the first employee and Chief of Staff to the CEO at RippleMatch, a NYC-based software startup, helping it grow from $0 to $10M in annual revenue and a $200M valuation over 5 years. Before RippleMatch, he worked for two U.S. senators from his home state of Wisconsin. Troy earned his BA in Government magna cum laude from Cornell and attended graduate school in Political Philosophy at NYU before dropping out to start GovWell.

🔍 Who we’re looking for

🏙️ 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.
