About Civic Roundtable: AI-powered government operations platform helping public agencies and partner organizations coordinate on housing, homelessness, public health, and emergency response.

ABOUT OUR COMPANY

Government’s biggest challenges — housing and homelessness, public health, emergency response — don’t get solved inside a single agency. Work happens across dozens of organizations that often struggle to coordinate, share information, and act in real time.

Civic Roundtable is an AI-powered government operations platform that helps public servants do exactly that. We give wide networks of agencies and partner organizations the tools to consolidate information, coordinate mission-critical work, and move faster together so the people on the frontlines of public problems have what they need to serve their communities. Trusted by 4,000+ organizations across all 50 states, Civic Roundtable emerged from the Harvard Innovation Labs and is backed by General Catalyst.

ABOUT THE ROLE

As a founding member of Civic Roundtable’s Partnerships & Federal GTM team, you will work directly with our founders to build the external relationships and ecosystem that help Civic Roundtable grow.

Government’s biggest challenges are solved through networks. The same is true for our go-to-market strategy. Many of our best opportunities come through relationships with associations, consultants, universities, nonprofits, systems integrators, resellers, advisors, and public-sector leaders who can help us enter new markets, build credibility, and reach the right customers. Your job will be to turn those relationships into a repeatable growth engine.

This role is especially focused on the federal ecosystem around our customers: the organizations, influencers, partners, and institutions that shape how agencies find solutions, make decisions, and get work done. You’ll build trust externally, identify creative ways to work together, and help Civic Roundtable become a known and trusted partner across Washington and the broader public-sector ecosystem.
