Job Description
Job Requirements
- There’s no such thing as a perfect candidate—if you read the qualifications below and feel like you’d excel in this role, we encourage you to apply even if you don’t match 100% of the qualifications. Traits that we’ve found are strong indicators of success in this role include:
- Previous administrative experience at the school or district level
- (i.e. experience as a Principal, Assistant Superintendent, Superintendent, etc.). This is probably the trait we value most highly; selling to school administration often involves being able to closely understand the challenges that school districts face. We’ve found that AEs with experience in admin have found the most success.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills.
- You’ll be speaking regularly with school administrators: over email, conference calls, and occasionally in person. Being able to clearly and concisely communicate in writing and speech is vital to this role.
- The ability to build trust and rapport.
- People buy from those they trust and like. We’re looking for someone who embodies compassion, warmth, and friendliness.
- A desire to learn and grow.
- Maybe you’re always listening to a new sales podcast, or reading a new book. Whatever the case, you find genuine joy in learning and improving, demonstrated by your curiosity and willingness to explore new ideas and concepts.
- The ability to pivot and adapt.
- Tutored by Teachers is a startup, and that means that what you do right now might not be exactly what you’re doing in 6 months. To succeed in this role, that should not only be expected, it should sound exciting. We’re looking for someone scrappy: someone who can dive in and start problem-solving wherever needed, and who genuinely enjoys it when solutions aren’t immediately obvious.
- Success in sales, especially education or service-related sales.
- Ideally, we’re looking for someone who already has 3+ years of proven success in sales, especially if you’ve worked in edtech or (even better) in service sales—Tutored by Teachers is tech-enabled, but ultimately we’re selling tutoring services, which can be different than selling SaaS. However, we most value candidates who are quick on their feet and motivated to learn and develop, so if you tick the other boxes but don’t have as much sales experience as desired, please apply anyway.
- A Bachelor's degree in Business, Education, or a related field.
- Experience working remotely or in a virtual sales environment.
- Working remotely is incredibly fulfilling, but can be a tricky transition to make at first. Ideally, you'll have some experience with remote work.
- A passion for education and closing the opportunity gap.
- We believe passionately in our mission to ensure that every child has the resources they need to succeed. We want every one of our employees to believe in that mission, too.
- What can you expect in your first year?
- Within 1 month
- Gain a thorough understanding of Tutored by Teachers' services and value proposition.
- Sit in on as many sales calls with our existing AEs as possible.
- Begin identifying potential opportunities for partnership.
- Within 3 months
- Develop a pipeline of leads and begin actively nurturing those leads.
- Actively engage with school administrators to understand their needs.
- Collaborate with internal teams to develop customized solutions and proposals for prospective clients.
- Within 6 months
- Secure new partnerships with school districts, exceeding initial sales targets.
- Establish yourself as a trusted advisor to school administrators, providing valuable insights and support.
- And beyond
- Continuously expand and strengthen relationships with existing clients, identifying opportunities for upselling and expansion.
- Play a key role in driving the growth and success of Tutored by Teachers, contributing to our mission of advancing educational equity.
