Inside Sales Account Executive | EdTech

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.
