RunningMate General Manager

 

RunningMate is Civitech's newest product, focused on transforming how progressive campaigns compete and win. The General Manager role leads RunningMate as its own business unit — owning revenue growth as the single top priority, with the budget, people, and decision rights to drive it. The GM's primary job is understanding the space's complex market structure and charting a course through it to drive business success and impactful growth. They'll spend much of their time as RunningMate's primary ambassador to the market, and their first deliverable is building RunningMate's 2027 strategy and plan. Civitech is a remote-first company hiring within our current footprint of  27 states (AL, AK, CA, CO, DC, DE, FL, GA, HI, IL, MA, MD, MN, NC, ND, NH, NJ, NV, NY, OH, SD, TN, TX, VA, WA, WI, WY);  Civitech does have an office in Austin, TX.

 

It is important that our team reflects the diversity of the organizations we seek to serve. We strongly encourage women, people of color, LGBTQIA+ people, and others otherwise underrepresented in the technology sector to apply.
