Since launching, Brisk has experienced rapid growth. Over 2 million teachers use our platform, and we partner with districts and schools nationwide to transform how educators teach and how students learn.

YOU HAVE:

• BA or BS in any field.
• Sales Experience: 1–3 years of experience in inside sales, lead generation, or a related role, preferably in SaaS or EdTech.
