President of Government Strategy & Partnerships

About Brain Co.

Brain Co. is an applied AI startup co-founded by Jared Kushner and Elad Gil, and backed by leading Silicon Valley builders including Patrick Collison and Andrej Karpathy. We are building AI applications for the world’s most important institutions, delivering impact on real-world problems across governments, healthcare systems, and critical industries.

About the Role

This is one of the most consequential roles at Brain Co. You'll run our government technology business, owning strategy, revenue, partnerships, and the team. You'll inherit real traction and a product that works. Your job is to scale it into new cities, new states, and new areas of government where the need is just as urgent.

What You’ll Do

• Build and lead a sales team that can navigate both government procurement and fast-moving commercial deals in the US and globally
• Close anchor contracts with major cities and states, then expand them
• Turn small pilots into multi-year, enterprise-wide contracts
• Identify which government workflows to go after next and make the case for prioritization
• Serve as the senior relationship holder for government and industry partners
• Work closely with Product and AI Engineers to make sure we're building something that works for both government employees and the constituents they serve

Who You Are

• You've done one or many of these things well:
• Idealistically, held senior roles in both government and tech, and are fluent in both worlds. You understand how government institutions operate and have experience navigating government processes and relationships.
• Scaled a software business — in any complex, regulated, or enterprise-heavy industry — from early traction to a mature, repeatable revenue engine
• Led enterprise sales in a regulated industry — real estate, urban planning, financial services, healthcare — where selling to both regulators and the regulated was part of the job
• Beyond the specific background, we're looking for someone who is:
• Entrepreneurial — comfortable building without a playbook, making decisions with incomplete information, and moving fast when the path isn't obvious
• A strong problem solver — you find ways through obstacles others treat as dead ends, whether that's a procurement barrier, a skeptical agency, or a product gap
• Partnership-minded — you've used strategic partnerships, channel relationships, or ecosystem alliances to drive distribution and open doors that direct sales alone couldn't
• Intellectually curious — you are genuinely curious about applying AI and emerging technologies to real-world problems, particularly ones with social impact

Why This Role Matters

Governments run critical systems for millions of people using outdated tools. Better software doesn't just make bureaucracy more efficient — it means families get housing faster, small businesses open sooner, and public servants can focus on the work they actually came to do. This role sits at the center of that change.
