  • Create compelling institutional narratives: integrity + learning + responsible AI adoption

  • Collaborate closely with product to shape features, integrations, and onboarding

What we’re looking for
  • Strong experience in Higher Ed enterprise sales (multi-stakeholder, longer cycles)

  • Comfort selling to academic leadership with a pedagogical, faculty-aware approach

  • Strong written and verbal communication; you can lead a room and win trust

  • Self-starter who thrives in early-stage environments

Nice to have
  • Experience with edtech platforms, LMS ecosystems, or academic integrity tooling
