About the role
Work with our Go to Market team to grow our business in the charter sector. You’ll be responsible for generating demand and building pipeline, including through direct outreach, field events, and marketing support, as well owning deals and working them through close.
Although similar to a sales / Account Executive role, since we’re a startup, we need someone who will be extraordinarily proactive and do whatever it takes to grow the business.
For this role, we aren’t looking for traditional sales people - we want practitioners who have lived the experiences of our clients and empathize with their work and challenges. The best candidates would be former CMO leaders or administrators in student services, operations, accountability, or enrollment. Sales, partnerships, development/fundraising, or other business experience is helpful, but we are open to eager candidates with a competitive drive who want to learn the ropes. Candidates must live within 1 hour of our hubs in San Francisco or Boston.
(If you have experience at the district or municipal level, we have separate roles available for those sectors. And we also have roles available for experienced sales professionals as well - visit avela.org/careers to find those openings.)
