Job description

Exploros – CEO Opportunity

Exploros is a high-impact EdTech SaaS platform dedicated to teacher-guided, real-time classroom learning. With a market-leading device‑enabled learning platform for K-12 classrooms, Exploros operates two primary business lines: licensing its proprietary platform to major publishers and direct‑to‑district augmented curriculum sales.

We are seeking a sales‑driven CEO to lead our next phase of expansion. The founder will transition to a product and innovation‑focused role, allowing the new CEO to take full ownership of scaling operations, driving revenue, and leading future fundraising efforts.

Major Responsibilities

• Scale the Business: Lead the transition from an early‑stage company to a high‑revenue and profit enterprise by optimizing sales engines and operational efficiency.
• Drive Revenue: Take a hands‑on approach to closing complex, multi‑stakeholder deals with K‑12 school districts and state adoption boards.
• Fundraising & Investor Relations: Steer future fundraising rounds, managing relationships with current and prospective investors.
• Strategic Leadership: Develop and execute a growth strategy that capitalizes on current momentum in the Southeast and beyond.
• Collaborative Innovation: Partner closely with the Founder/Chief Innovation Officer to ensure product‑market fit remains aligned with aggressive sales goals.
• Team Management: Lead and inspire a distributed, remote‑first team, fostering a culture of accountability and mission‑driven excellence.

Preferred Qualifications

• Proven Scale Experience: You have successfully grown revenue/scaled a SaaS or EdTech business as a CEO or a high‑performing COO/VP of Sales.
• Sales‑First Pedigree: You must have a background in sales leadership. This is not a role for a pure product or marketing executive.
• K‑12 Expertise: A track record of closing large‑scale deals involving curriculum and platform licensing. Familiarity with state adoptions is highly preferred.
• Fundraising Track Record: Demonstrated ability to drive fundraising efforts and manage board‑level communications.
• Scrappy & Hands‑on: Ability to excel in a lean, remote environment. You are willing to "roll up your sleeves" rather than just managing from the top.
• Data‑Driven: Proficiency in using analytics to guide decision‑making and forecast growth accurately.
• Travel Readiness: Willingness to travel significantly, particularly to key markets like Texas, Alabama, and Florida.
• Location: Remote (Eastern or Central Time Zone preferred)

Compensation: $300,000.00 – $350,000.00 annually, 100% remote.
