• Handle objections and maintain momentum through internal review processes
• Track pipeline and follow-ups in CRM or internal tools

What We're Looking For

• Experience selling to K-12 schools, school districts, or educational institutions (EdTech, curriculum, or program sales strongly preferred)
• OR experience working within schools (teacher, admin, program coordinator) with strong interest in sales
• Ability to engage confidently with principals, administrators, and decision-makers
• Experience managing longer, multi-step sales cycles
• Strong communication and follow-up discipline
• Comfortable in a startup environment with ownership of results

Nice to Have

• Experience with school budgeting or procurement processes
• Experience running demos or presentations to institutional buyers

Role Details
