Sales Associate

Apolitical's mission is to make governments smarter for people and the planet. We reach over 40 million public servants through our partnerships with governments globally. We are the largest global network for governments, used by 270,000+ public servants in 160 countries to find and share best practices and gain skills on critical topics from AI to climate change to emerging technologies. Governments use Apolitical to solve public sector transformation challenges - from AI augmentation to reskilling. We offer governments five interoperable components - research and analysis, workforce productivity tools, customisable training, vibrant learning communities and high impact convenings. Everything we do is powered by our unique global network and real-time data. Apolitical is trusted by 60+ governments and leading organisations that work with governments. Governments include schools of government, departments, ministries and government adjacent bodies in the UK, Canada, India, EU, UAE, Brazil, Ethiopia, Singapore and more. Global foundation partners include the Bezos Earth Fund, Gates Foundation and Rockefeller Foundation, who view governments as key stakeholders in achieving systemic change. Apolitical's corporate partners include organisations such as Google, AWS and Microsoft who work with us at scale with governments and public sector bodies worldwide. Our Government AI Campus and our Government Energy and Climate Campus are examples of our success in bringing together corporate and philanthropic intent with great technology to deliver impactful government learning and capability building on a global scale.

The role: We're entering a new phase of growth and looking to bring more structure and storytelling power to our commercial efforts. As we deepen our work with corporates, foundations and governments, we need someone who can combine sales energy with business thinking, who is developing their skills in how to pitch, persuade and build narrative in a way that sharpens strategy and accelerates momentum. This is a mid-level role designed for someone with a consulting-style skillset who's ready to apply it in a fast-paced, mission-driven sales environment. You'll help shape how we tell our story to diverse partners, supporting the commercial team across the sales funnel, with a focus on the top half. That includes everything from pitch deck design and proposal writing to CRM rigour and insight generation. You'll work horizontally across our commercial function, supporting multiple partner types. This is likely to be the first of several roles of its kind, creating a pathway for future specialisation as we grow.

Due to the nature of the work we do with global governments and partners, all employees need to pass background checks, verifying your identity, education (if relevant), work history, sanctions, criminal record, adverse financial history and right to work.
