Responsibilities

  • Own the entire sales cycle—from prospecting and lead generation through closing and post‑sale account growth—across top K‑12 districts nationwide.
  • Travel up to 60% of the month for in‑territory meetings; reliably work Monday–Friday on‑site when not traveling.
  • Structure creative, complex deals that advance district initiatives while meeting aggressive revenue goals.
  • Build deep, multi‑threaded relationships with superintendents, CIOs, and curriculum leaders.
  • Consistently devote the time and energy required to exceed quota; 60+ hour weeks are the norm during peak cycles.
  • Maintain accurate pipeline data and deliver timely forecasts to leadership.

Qualifications

  • 4+ years of quota‑carrying B2B sales experience—ideally SaaS, EdTech, or Pharmaceutical—with a track record of exceeding $1 M+ annual quotas.
  • Genuine passion for educational equity and expanding access worldwide.
  • Hustle mindset: willing to cold‑call, knock on doors, and iterate until the deal closes.
  • Creative problem‑solver comfortable navigating long, multi‑stakeholder sales cycles and complex procurement processes.
  • Outstanding written and verbal communication skills; ability to craft compelling narratives backed by data.
  • Bachelor’s degree or equivalent professional experience.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
