The Role

About Lillio (formerly HiMama) and Our Mission:


At Lillio (formerly HiMama), we are committed to serving the field as an authentic voice of the early childhood education (ECE) workforce, providing programs with all of the building blocks for high-quality early care and education and helping early educators focus on what matters most for children’s successful development and learning: relationships, play, creativity, and loving, nurturing caregiving. We are a social-purpose business and certified B Corporation with the goal of empowering early childhood educators through innovative, affordable tools that enable them to improve child outcomes, engage family members, and support continued professional growth for their staff. If you are excited about being part of an impact-driven business, focused on making a difference in the early childhood education industry, Lillio is the place for you.


Lillio is a Series B, private-equity backed business and we're proud to be part of the Bain Double Impact portfolio. Lillio is recognized as an industry leader, most recently selected by Fortune in 2023 for their "Impact 20" list, which highlights organizations that have built their business models around world-changing ideas to solve social and environmental problems.


We’re looking for…


Passionate, ambitious and confident Account Executives who want to challenge themselves in a fast-paced, high-growth work environment. Ideal candidates enjoy connecting with people and thrive in a high-performance team with high expectations. They’re able to do strategic prospecting and territory planning along with heavy outbound activity. They are keen to take on a challenge and looking to take their career to the next level. Finally, they're looking to make an impact on the world beyond dollars and cents. Working with a social enterprise you will personally have the opportunity to improve outcomes for hundreds and thousands of children worldwide.


As an Account Executive on our team, you will be empowering Early Childhood Educators (ECE's) to build stronger relationships with parents and engage them in children's learning and development using our products.


The Sales Team


Sales at Lillio is a high-energy, collaborative and ambitious team that is striving to drive accelerated growth of our business. We have a strong team mentality and a desire to work hard and win to support our customers.


Why be an AE at Lillio?


- A product you can TRULY get behind: We’re #1 on the market (we’re not just saying that, feel free to look it up) and it really is a game changer. You’ll have the opportunity to feel your impact and help make a genuine difference!

- Deep satisfaction: Our AEs enjoy selling our product and you’re supporting an industry that is important and under-appreciated. Many of our customers literally say “WOW” when they see it. Our AEs say it's validating and highly satisfying.

- Childcare Director/Owner decision-makers: Let’s face it, sales can be tough, and prospects can be prickly at times. However, decision makers in the childcare space have a tendency to be friendly by nature and an absolute pleasure to work. 

- Lots of repetitions: We have a short sales cycle with a ton of interest. There are so many opportunities and chances to make a sale and improve your craft!

- Compensation that rewards strong performance: Competitive on-target earnings and uncapped commissions, paid out monthly!

- Training: Extensive sales training and mentorship to get your foot in the door with software sales and/or level up your sales skills!
