Public Sector Partnerships (Sales) Director
$140k - $170k USD
About AidKit
AidKit is a public benefit corporation building the infrastructure that enables governments and nonprofits to deliver cash assistance quickly and with dignity. Since its founding in 2021, AidKit has distributed more than $400 million to over 110,000 households across 27 states, establishing new standards for rapid, targeted aid during disasters, economic shocks, and major policy transitions.
Our differentiator is speed without sacrifice. Where legacy systems take months to launch, AidKit can deploy complete aid programs in hours while maintaining rigorous fraud protection and compliance. Unlike most SaaS platforms, we build for the margins—designing systems that work for excluded workers, unhoused neighbors, low-income families, and communities facing compounding crises.
We're AI-native infrastructure for an unpredictable world. As natural disasters and economic shocks accelerate, communities need systems that adapt in real-time while preserving the inherent dignity of people in their times of need.
