- Strong background in sales leadership, business development, and go-to-market strategy within education or related industries.
- Demonstrated ability to lead revenue generation initiatives from strategy through direct deal execution.
- Experience scaling organizations or business units from non-revenue or philanthropic models into commercial operations.
- Strong leadership capabilities with a “player-coach” mindset and experience managing and developing mid-sized teams.
- Ability to operate effectively in fast-changing, high-growth, or transformation-focused environments.
- Strong executive presence with excellent communication, negotiation, and stakeholder management skills.
- Preferred: experience in edtech scaling, K-12 publishing, or education-focused SaaS environments.
Benefits:
- Competitive base salary ranging from $160,000 to $180,000+, depending on experience.
