Why You'll Love This Job

You will be a key member of our enterprise business development team, speaking directly with superintendents, communication directors, chief technology officers, and other decision-makers within schools.

• Have continuous follow-up with prospects from the different events attended to close deals.
• Work closely with enterprise sales reps, sales engineers, and sales leadership; help enterprise sales reps lead virtual product demos including discovery, value demonstrations, proposal delivery, RFPs, and deal close.

Who You Are

• 4-year college degree or comparable, continuous work experience with an impressive track record of success
• Experience working in or with K-12 school districts, preferably large school district experience, and dealing with complex full sales cycles (6-24 months)
• Capable of managing your day and being effective & efficient
• Excellent communication and presentation skills
• Strong relationship-building skills and always looking for opportunities to make more contacts
