Do you believe in the power of digital education? Dive in, and let's craft the education of tomorrow, today!

The Account Executive is a driven and engaging sales professional with a passion for helping instructional faculty achieve their teaching and learning goals.

This role is responsible for maximizing the educational impact of Catalyst Education by building and owning a pipeline of new opportunities, driving market penetration for both Labflow and Spark. Account Executives are hunters of new business who manage the entire sales cycle from prospecting to close.

They proactively identify and reach out to potential adopters (mostly professors and instructors at Universities) through email, phone, and in-person campus visits, with the goal of securing meetings and presenting Catalyst’s software solutions. They use deep product knowledge to uncover faculty pain points, position the value of our platforms, and demonstrate how Labflow and Spark improve teaching and learning outcomes.

Account Executives are expected to ask for and win faculty adoptions, shepherding prospects through the decision-making process until the course adoption is secured. They then collaborate closely with Catalyst’s Faculty Success Managers to ensure a smooth transition into onboarding, custom implementation, and ongoing support.

As part of a high-performing sales team, Account Executives contribute by sharing insights, strategies, and best practices that drive collective success, while taking full ownership of their pipeline and results.

Travel and likely overnight travel is a required part of this role.
