Full Job Description
Inside Sales Account Executive EdTech Remote US (TX Preferred)
The opportunity

The inbound engine is compounding, and most of your pipeline comes to you: quote requests arrive every day, teachers apply to become advocates, and schools where teachers are already using the product are waiting for someone to call. We're looking for a high-velocity closer to join the founding sales team and own the inside motion end to end: discovery, demos, proposals and closes over Zoom, plus self-sourcing a slice of your own number. You'll work directly with the CEO.

Location: Remote (US, TX preferred). Type: Full-time Inside Sales Early-stage equity. Experience: 2-6+ years in SaaS sales, ideally K-12 EdTech or another high-velocity inside sales motion.
What you'll do - Own Sales (80%)
  • Work the inbound engine end-to-end: quote requests, advocate teachers, and warm usage signals, with tight speed to lead
  • Run discovery and demos with teachers, principals and curriculum directors over Zoom
  • Convert bottom-up adoption: turn schools with active teacher clusters into school and district deals
  • Navigate school and district procurement: quotes, purchase orders, IT and privacy reviews
  • Self-source part of your pipeline through outbound and referrals
  • Manage pipeline, CRM, and forecasting
  • Create sales assets for the inside motion: collateral, one-pagers, email sequences
What you'll do - Grow Accounts (20%)
  • Own renewals: grow ACV, adjust pricing, grow to multi-year deals, cross-sell adjacent product lines
  • Own internal expansion: expand school deals into district-wide contracts by identifying champions across buildings
  • Own external expansion: generate referrals from happy customers, and get warm introductions from champions to open new admin relationships
  • Build and maintain relationships, and deliver successful admin onboarding to drive loyalty, usage and retention
  • Collaborate with the customer success team to ensure customers get adequate training and sustain healthy usage
  • Be the voice of the customer: synthesize admin and teacher feedback to inform the product roadmap
Why you'll love it
  • Impact: help students across the country become better writers
  • Growth: the company grew 5x last year and just crossed seven figures in ARR, with most of that growth organic
  • Velocity: you will close every week, not every quarter
  • Ownership: shape core GTM processes as a founding team member with equity
  • Learning: work directly with the founders daily
