GTM/Sales Associate (Field Sales & Lead Generation) - Mithram

About Mithram

Mithram is building crisis intelligence technology that saves lives. Our real-time radio transcription platform helps emergency responders-firefighters, police, and 911 dispatchers-make faster, better-informed decisions during critical incidents.

We're a venture-backed company ($2.1M pre-seed from Pear Ventures, Tidepool Labs, and Stanford professors) with active pilot programs at fire departments across the Bay Area. We're now scaling to emergency response agencies nationwide.

The Role

We're looking for our first GTM/Sales Associate to build relationships with emergency response agencies on the ground. You'll spend time in the car visiting fire departments to introduce Mithram, then follow up via phone and demos to qualify opportunities for our founders to close.

• Phone follow-up: Engage departments you've connected with via calls to run discovery, answer questions, and move opportunities forward
• Run product demos: Showcase Mithram's technology remotely or in-person to fire chiefs, police captains, and emergency management teams

• Comfortable with in-person prospecting: You enjoy getting in the car, showing up at departments, and building relationships face-to-face

• Organized & detail-oriented: Track visits, follow-ups, and pipeline meticulously
• Mission-driven: Genuinely care about technology that saves lives and serving first responders
• Valid driver's license and reliable vehicle
• Bonus: Public sector sales experience, familiarity with emergency services, military/public safety background, or government procurement knowledge
