Director of Government Relations & City Partnerships

Reshape America's Infrastructure

Cyvl just raised our Series A and we're racing toward $15M in annual revenues. We need a rain‑maker who can text a mayor, land the meeting, and close a million dollar deal before wheels‑up. If you know chief of staffs between NYC and LA, thrive on 50‑state travel, and want upside tied directly to eight‑figure wins, keep reading.

About This Role

• Report directly to the Founder/CEO and quarterback our push into America’s 50 largest cities.
• Plug straight into a power network of former mayors, DOT commissioners, and White House officials on our advisory board.
• Commission plan built for big‑game hunters —outsized upside, uncapped accelerators, real equity kicker.

What You’ll Do

• Open Doors & Close Dates: Land face‑to‑face meetings with mayors, city managers, and chiefs of staff—60+ in your first 12 months.
• Accelerate Revenue: Convert warm intros into paid pilots and multi‑year platform contracts worth $1‑$10 M ARR each .
• Shape the Narrative: Testify, keynote, and op‑ed Cyvl into every U.S. mayoral playbook for Vision Zero, ADA compliance, and stimulus spend.
• Operationalize Influence: Build the repeatable playbook—CRM tags, briefing decks, event calendar, consultant scorecards—so the machine runs beyond one superstar.
• Partner Across Cyvl: Sync daily with VP Sales on deal strategy and VP Product on public‑sector pain points; marshal advisors for surgical intros.

You Might Be a Fit If You…

• Own real mayoral relationships in multiple tier‑1 markets—and can prove it.
• Have 8+ years driving or influencing multi-million dollar public‑sector deals (SaaS, infra‑tech, P3, or concession finance).
• Thrive on travel (50‑70 %) and early morning city‑hall briefings.
• Love startups: ambiguity, speed, giant outcomes.
