Senior Account Executive

About PublicInput

PublicInput develops and supports Software-as-a-Service (Saas) solutions designed for government agencies and their consultant partners to facilitate and manage better communication with the public.

Based in Raleigh, NC the company was founded with a vision to access and elevate historically underrepresented communities in the municipal and state planning process, while simultaneously streamlining cumbersome administrative work that so often prevents equitable outcomes.

With a shared background in planning consulting, the company's co-founders believe that technology can play a key role in making government more responsive and representative of the broadest needs of communities.

Our Approach

Many engagement solutions only address small parts of the engagement process, offering a piecemeal approach that relies on third-party partnerships to fill in the gaps.

PublicInput uses a unified approach, blending traditional and virtual engagement tactics via one integrated platform.

Reliable, equitable, and simple, our easy-to-use user interface gives governments all the tools needed to facilitate successful public engagement.

Our Culture

PublicInput is driven by the core concept that "life is all about the people you meet and the things you create with them."

Through direct experience and collaboration, PublicInput is focused and committed to creating better ways for governments to have a relationship with their community.

That is why we work hard to be the experienced and empathetic innovation partner that we wish we had had at our side when doing the tough job of engaging the public.

We treat community concerns and emergent issues seriously. We love to learn and strive to help share best practices and innovation without judgment or pretension.

About The Role & You

The Senior Account Executive prides themself on finding creative solutions to problems and asking 'why' a little too much. They bring a natural curiosity to their interactions with our friends in government, and they love to understand before they try to sell them anything.
