• Conference Champion: Represent us at major trade shows (ASBO, PASBO, AASA), turning quick booth chats into long-term partnerships.
• Collaborative Design: Work hand-in-hand with our Operations team to craft service solutions that are both high-impact for schools and profitable for the business.

• An Experienced Navigator: You have 5+ years of B2B sales experience
  , ideally within the public sector or government contracting.
• Public Sector Savvy: You understand the unique rhythm of tax-based budgeting and the political nuances of school board approvals.
• Administratively Sharp: You're a Salesforce pro who understands that a winning bid is built on meticulous data and disciplined follow-up.
• A Confident Communicator: Whether it's a one-on-one coffee or a formal presentation to a public committee, you command the room with ease.
• Ready to Roll: You have a valid driver's license, can pass school-mandated background checks, and are prepared for the physical demands of travel and event setup.

Are you ready to make an impact on the next generation?
