• Advocate for AI in Education: Articulate the immense value, safety, and ethical compliance of our AI-enabled products, addressing district/university concerns around data privacy, security, and academic integrity.

• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with Customer Success, Product, and Marketing teams to share market feedback, ensure seamless onboarding, and be the voice of our new logo sales engine.

• Accurate Forecasting: Maintain meticulous CRM hygiene (e.g., Salesforce) and provide reliable weekly, monthly, and quarterly sales forecasts to executive leadership.

• Experience: 5+ years of successful B2B enterprise or edtech sales experience, with a proven track record of selling software, SaaS, or digital curriculum into K12 and/or Higher Ed markets. 3-5+ years of leading teams in a high growth SaaS environment. Edtech experience will be highly weighted.

• Industry Knowledge: Deep familiarity with educational procurement structures, budgeting cycles (e.g., Title funds, ESSER transitions, institutional budgeting), and decision-making hierarchies in schools and universities.

• AI Fluency: A strog grasp of generative AI or emerging educational technologies, with the ability to translate complex technical features into clear pedagogical and operational benefits.

• Communication Skills: Exceptional verbal, written, and presentation skills; comfortable engaging and negotiating with C-level executives and academic leaders.
