SchooLinks is the fastest-growing college and career readiness platform in the country, operating in 40+ states and rapidly becoming the market standard. We build technology that connects students to their futures. Our team runs on PACE — Performance-Driven, Above & Beyond, Caring Candor, and Effort & Ownership — and we hire athletes who compete, not spectators who observe from the sidelines. As an Account Executive, you own your territory like it’s your business. Your three non-negotiable outcomes are: actively build your pipe, sell well-represented deals, and hit your quota. You don’t wait for leads to come to you. You prospect relentlessly, multi-thread into every account, and earn executive sponsorship so deals close on your timeline, not theirs.

Sell Well-Represented Deals (Caring Candor) Present deals honestly in pipeline reviews — no sandbagging, no happy ears. Clearly articulate customer pain points and map them to SchooLinks solutions.
