Its Educator Development Program (EDP) helps districts, charter networks, and state agencies address educator workforce needs through tailored partnerships.

Come Build What’s Next

We’re looking for a Senior Account Manager, EDP (B2B) to retain, grow, and deepen Moreland University’s existing partnerships with school districts, charter networks, and state education agencies.

This senior, client-facing role owns complex account relationships, renewal and expansion strategy, and executive-level engagement. You’ll uncover each partner’s workforce challenges, develop tailored EDP solutions, negotiate multi-year agreements, and align internal teams to deliver on commitments.

What You’ll Do

• Own and expand a portfolio of existing district, charter network, and state agency partners, driving retention, renewals, EDP bookings, and multi-year contract growth.
• Create strategic account plans and stakeholder maps; lead quarterly and monthly business reviews and engage decision-makers across HR, academics, finance, procurement, and governing boards.
• Build a comprehensive know-your-customer (KYC) profile for each partner, covering leadership, governance, budgets, funding and grant opportunities, procurement requirements, workforce data, and incumbent vendors.
• Lead discovery into the full educator workforce lifecycle, including teacher pipelines, uncertified or out-of-field staff, vacancies, turnover, burnout, and workforce reporting gaps.
• Partner with the B2B2C Client Engagement Account Manager to qualify EDP readiness and develop customized proposals that connect Moreland’s services to partner needs, budgets, and executive sponsorship.
• Lead pricing discussions and contract negotiations with Legal and Finance; coordinate with Admissions and Academics to align delivery expectations and program commitments.
• Build access to superintendents, cabinet leaders, and board members through internal champions; collaborate with the Chief Partnerships Officer and external advisors when executive access requires additional support.
• Work with Marketing on webinars, administrator forums, and association events that engage multiple partners; maintain accurate CRM data and review forecasts and pipeline weekly with the VP of Sales.
• Track results across expansion revenue, net revenue retention, renewal rate, EDP-qualified and contracted accounts, executive sponsorship, cohort and contract fill rates, and partner satisfaction.

What You’ll Bring

• 10+ years of account management experience owning complex, multi-stakeholder relationships, with direct K–12 sector experience required; higher education or public sector experience is a plus.
• A proven record of retaining, renewing, and expanding strategic accounts, including negotiating multi-year agreements and growing revenue across multiple buying groups.
• Working knowledge of K–12 education systems, district and state-level funding, budget cycles, and procurement processes.
• Executive-level relationship-building and consultative selling skills, including the ability to uncover needs, influence multiple stakeholders, and create tailored solutions.
• Strong research, account planning, proposal writing, commercial negotiation, forecasting, and executive communication skills.
• Hands-on CRM discipline and pipeline management experience; familiarity with HubSpot or Salesforce is valuable.
• A bachelor’s degree (required); a master’s degree is preferred. Ability to travel 50% or more for onsite client meetings, conferences, and networking events.

Tools, Platforms, and Methodologies You May Use

• HubSpot or Salesforce for relationship management, CRM hygiene, pipeline tracking, and forecasting
• Account plans, stakeholder maps, workforce research, KYC profiles, and custom EDP proposals
• Solution selling, VITO (executive-level selling), and Challenger-style approaches
• Partner business reviews, webinars, administrator forums, and education association events

What This Role Is Not

• Not primarily a new-logo hunting position; the emphasis is on deepening and expanding existing partnerships.
• Not a renewal-only or reactive customer support role; you will own strategic growth and complex commercial conversations.
• Not a one-size-fits-all program pitch; each EDP engagement is shaped around the partner’s broader educator workforce needs.

Why You’ll Love Working Here

• Own meaningful, long-term partnerships that help K–12 organizations build stronger educator workforces.
• Shape customized solutions across certification, mentorship, professional development, graduate education, and workforce insights.
• Build relationships with senior education leaders while partnering across Sales, Marketing, Finance, Legal, Admissions, and Academics.
• Have clear ownership and measurable impact on renewals, expansion, and partner success.
• Join a mission-driven team grounded in Love, Joy, Boldness, Teamwork, and Curiosity.

Experience can come from strategic K–12 account management in education technology, educator preparation, district-facing services, or public-sector education partnerships. If you have managed complex school-system clients and grown those relationships over time, we’d love to hear from you.

This role does require direct K–12 experience, substantial ownership of complex account renewals and expansions, a bachelor’s degree, and the ability to travel at least 50%. If your experience has focused mainly on transactional selling or client support without strategic account growth, this position may not be the right fit.

If you enjoy solving complicated customer challenges, building executive trust, and growing partnerships with lasting impact, we’d love to meet you.
