What we do

At Civis, we take a science-first approach to solving business problems using person-level data. With a blend of proprietary technology and statistical advisory services, we help public and private sector organizations find, understand and connect with the people they care about, so they can stop guessing and start using mathematical proof to guide decisions. We know others use “data science” and “analytics” as buzzwords, but at Civis we don’t stand for fluff, and we will always deliver scalable products and technologies — not PowerPoints — to drive your business forward. Learn more about Civis at www.civisanalytics.com.

Our mission

Our mission is to bring objective, data-driven truth to organizational decision-making – all the way from the boardroom to the world’s largest social causes.

To build on that success and scale our business, we are looking for an experienced technology sales lead with a passion for bringing value to nonprofits, an understanding of selling within various organizational structures, and an understanding of the emerging technology needs of nonprofit. This is a great opportunity for someone who not only knows the ins and outs of non-profit space, but who can help Civis leadership strategically determine the right territories in which to make key strategic investments.

  • Maintain a deep understanding of the civic technology space, and how Civis solutions meet the unique needs of our nonprofit customers
  • Identify market changes or new opportunities to and present these opportunities to the Civis executive and product teams
  • Represent Civis at non-profit events and conferences

  • The opportunity to be part of a growing tech startup focused on solving interesting and meaningful problems, invested in internal promotion, and committed to fostering a diverse, equal, and inclusive workplace.
