Requirements

• 5+ years of successful B2B or B2E sales experience, with at least 3 years in K–12 EdTech or selling into K–12 districts.
• Proven track record as a hunter: consistently generating net-new opportunities and closing new logos.
• Demonstrated success selling to district-level leadership (Superintendents, CAOs, Assistant Superintendents, or equivalent).
• Strong solution-selling background: experience with complex, consultative sales cycles and multi-stakeholder decision processes.
• Exceptional questioning and discovery skills – able to uncover root problems, strategic priorities, and political dynamics within districts.
• Strong communication skills (verbal, written, and presentation) and comfort presenting to senior education leaders and committees.
• High degree of drive and resilience: motivated by targets, able to handle rejection, and persistent in follow-up.
• Comfortable working in a scrappy, fast-paced start-up: ambiguous situations, evolving product, and constantly improving processes.
• Solid problem-solving mindset: able to think on your feet, connect dots, and creatively address roadblocks for both customers and internal teams.

• Experience selling curriculum, assessment, instructional tools, or similar solutions into K–12.
• Existing network of relationships with district leaders in your region.
• Experience winning RFPs, RFQs, or committee-based selection processes.

Responsibilities

• Proactively identify, research, and target K–12 districts and schools within your territory.
• Build and manage a robust pipeline of new opportunities with Superintendents, CAOs, and Assistant Superintendents of Curriculum.
• Leverage outbound prospecting (email, phone, LinkedIn, conferences, referrals) to secure introductory meetings at the district leadership level.

• Ask strong, insightful questions to deeply understand district challenges, decision-making processes, and success criteria.
• Translate complex district needs into clear, tailored solution proposals using our products and services.

• Build trust-based relationships with key decision-makers and influencers (district leadership, curriculum directors, instructional leaders, IT, principals).
• Navigate multi-stakeholder, committee-based buying processes common in K–12.
