K-12 Sales & Partnerships Manager (Part-Time) (United States)

IMPORTANT: Please read through to the bottom for instructions on how to apply.

BraveBrains helps schools take the shame and blame out of behavior conversations by making brain science deeply human and immediately useful for both kids and adults.

Since 2019, we’ve worked with thousands of educators and helping professionals, and the interest keeps expanding. We’re looking for an experienced K–12 sales and partnerships professional to help us take great care of our existing relationships and make sure promising opportunities don’t get lost in the shuffle.

What You’ll Do

• Own and organize our growing pipeline of district and regional partnership opportunities
• Nurture warm leads, referrals, conference connections, and longer-term relationships
• Move opportunities forward through thoughtful follow-up, calls, proposals, and clear next steps
• Join sales and partnership calls, with increasing opportunities to lead conversations independently as you learn our work
• Customize pitch decks, proposals, and other partnership materials
• Over time, represent BraveBrains at select education conferences and help turn promising conversations into partnerships

You Might Be a Great Fit If…

>> You have professional experience in K–12 education sales, business development, or partnerships and understand how schools, districts, and regional education organizations make decisions. (Required)

>> You’re warm, curious, and comfortable being assertive without being pushy. 

>> You have excellent follow-through, communicate clearly, and know how to keep an opportunity moving while respecting the relationship.

>> You are comfortable working remotely and staying organized and connected to the team via Slack, Asana, and Google Workspace.

>> You have experience with education conferences, proposals, and running an exhibitor booth.

Experience with professional learning, curriculum, EdTech, student services, behavior, MTSS, or special education is a plus.

How to Apply

Please send your résumé or LinkedIn profile to View email address on apply.placed-app.com , along with brief, thoughtful responses to these three questions:

1. Tell us about your K–12 sales and partnership experience. What were you selling or supporting, who were your customers or partners, and which parts of the sales process did you personally own?
2. Tell us about an opportunity that required patience and follow-through. How did you decide when to keep things moving and when to give the relationship space?
3. Imagine you’re representing BraveBrains at an education conference. A school leader stops at our booth and starts looking through one of our books. How would you approach the conversation?

IMPORTANT: To help our small team manage applications during a busy season, we will only review applications that include responses to all three questions. Generic or incomplete applications will not be considered.

We’ll contact selected candidates directly regarding next steps.
