Account Executive, GalileoX Partnerships

As the Account Executive, GalileoX Partnerships, you will play a pivotal role as the second dedicated seller on a high-growth team expanding our educational impact nationwide. You will own the higher-velocity end of our pipeline: driving new partnerships with community-based organizations (CBOs), charter networks, and small-to-mid-size school districts, usually in the $25K-$75K range. You will run consultative discovery, diagnose staff capacity and curriculum gaps, and paint a clear, customized picture showing how Galileo plugs into existing district and community systems.

In our team, every conversation carries two potential wins: driving revenue and extracting valuable market learnings. Your success in this role will depend on building self-sourced pipelines, navigating multiple stakeholders, timing outreach around public funding windows, and contributing to a repeatable, scalable sales playbook.

This role powers the growth engine that makes Galileo's mission possible. By expanding our selling capacity and taking ownership of the mid-market pipeline, you unlock enterprise capacity across the team while ensuring our programs can scale smoothly. Every partnership you close puts hands-on, genuinely fun STEAM programming in front of K-8 students who need it most, cultivating an environment where young innovators shine, and school communities are fully supported.
