About The Position

Presence is the leading provider of teletherapy solutions for children with diverse needs. Through our award-winning technology, Presence connects speech-language pathologists, school psychologists, occupational therapists, and mental health specialists to schools, districts, and organizations nationwide. Our growing network of 2,000+ clinicians has delivered over 7 million teletherapy sessions to K-12 students. We are a remote-first, distributed workforce of 200+ corporate employees, headquartered in New York. We place a high value on “cameras on” engagement, schedule coordination, and cross-functional communication to stay connected with each other when working in different places. Many roles require travel to create opportunities to engage in person with our school partners, our clinicians, and each other. At Presence, we believe it’s our responsibility to help schools ensure their students have access to the specialized services they need. We are seeking high-energy, sales-driven professionals to secure new district partnerships while also owning the retention, growth, and long-term success of an assigned portfolio of accounts. In this role, you will guide prospects from initial outreach through contract execution, leading stakeholders to Presence’s proven teletherapy and tele-evaluation solutions, and then seamlessly transition into ongoing account management, delivering exceptional customer service, ensuring a best-in-class customer experience, and driving year-over-year renewals. You’ll also identify and execute opportunities to cross-sell and upsell additional services, expanding partnerships over time. Ideal candidates are results-oriented, possess outstanding customer-facing skills, and have a proven track record of selling into large, complex organizations and managing relationships from the ground up.
