Account Executive, Public Sector

Account Executive, Public Sector Electask | Remote (U.S.) | Travel Required

The Opportunity

Electask is looking for its first sales hire — a rare chance to join a small but growing team at a genuine inflection point and build something from the ground up. This is a foundational role: the right hire doesn't just grow our sales function, they help determine what Electask looks like as we scale.

We make task and poll worker management software for election administrators, the people responsible for running the elections that underpin American democracy. In four years, we've grown from one customer to over 70 with virtually no formal sales function. Now we're ready to build one, and we want the right person to build it with us.

This isn't a role where you inherit a territory and work a playbook someone else wrote. You'll work directly alongside our CEO to close deals, shape our go-to-market strategy, and lay the foundation for a sales team we expect you to eventually lead.

What You'll Do

• Drive outbound sales from prospecting through close, working alongside the CEO. That means email outreach, phone calls, and building genuine long-term relationships with election administrators across the country.
• Travel to 10+ industry conferences per year — the places where election officials gather, learn, and make buying decisions. Think Lake Tahoe, San Diego, and South Padre Island, and plenty of towns in between.
• Own relationships with decision-makers in county governments, demonstrating how Electask helps them run better elections.
• Help define and document our sales process — the playbook doesn't exist yet, and you'll get to write it.

What We're Looking For

• 2+ years of B2B sales experience, with a strong preference for candidates who have sold into government or public sector accounts. If you've sold to county or municipal governments specifically, we want to hear from you.
• A genuine interest in the nonpartisan world of election administration — this space is more fascinating than most people expect, and our customers can tell the difference between someone who cares and someone who doesn't.
• Genuine comfort with high-volume outbound calling — this is a phone-first sales role, especially in the early days.
• A builder's mindset. This is a build-it-yourself role — you'll own your pipeline, define the process, and set the standard for the sales team that follows.
• Enthusiasm for travel — this role includes 10+ conferences per year, each typically just 2-3 nights, concentrated in two conference seasons — generally late winter and summer. If you enjoy being on the road and representing a company and mission you believe in, this role offers exactly that.

Compensation

Base salary plus performance-based compensation, with on-target earnings of $125,000 for a representative year. This is an uncapped structure. Electask also provides a benefits package including a health insurance stipend.

Why Electask

Election administration is a large, underpenetrated market with real and growing demand — and Electask is at the forefront of it. Our customers — county election officials across the country — are mission-driven, genuinely kind, and hungry for better tools. The relationships you build here will be meaningful ones.

We've grown from one customer to 50+ in four years. We have real momentum. What we don't yet have is a formal sales function — and that's the job.

Our process is lean and conversational — typically two rounds with the CEO. We respect your time and will move quickly for the right candidate.

Electask's CEO is based in Washington, DC. You can work from anywhere in the U.S.
