Inside Sales Account Executive | EdTech | Remote US (TX Preferred)
About the company
Our client is a fast-growing, venture-backed AI-powered grading and feedback platform for K-12 educators, used by teachers in schools across the US to save hours of grading time while delivering higher-quality, standards-aligned writing feedback to every student. Teachers adopt the product bottom-up, and the company has sold into schools across 30+ states.
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
Requirements

Looking for a founding team role with equity and major career upside
