Partner Development Associate

About the Role

A Partner Development Associate (PDA) is energetic, driven, and resilient, and owns outbound prospecting and lead generation for Ellevation. Working within the Sales team, you'll identify, qualify, nurture, and deliver high-quality opportunities for our Partner Development Managers to present to prospective partner school districts. To hit monthly demo booking goals, you'll combine email, phone, and creative outreach. Along the way, you'll become fluent in the full Ellevation product suite and gain firsthand insight into how our sales cycle works. We're looking for someone independent, curious, and research-oriented.
