K12: Partnerships Manager (Chicago)

An award-winning education services provider is transforming outcomes for students in some of the country's largest public school systems through high-dosage tutoring and evidence-based literacy and math interventions. You'll join a mission-driven, founder-led team where relationship-building, consultative selling, and genuine care for student outcomes are non-negotiable. If you're a patient, ownership-minded operator who thrives in long, complex sales cycles — and uses AI as a daily force multiplier — this role is for you.

If you have...

• 3+ years of full-cycle B2B sales experience hitting or exceeding quota, preferably in K-12, ed-tech, or education services
• Demonstrated success closing complex, multi-stakeholder deals with 60-180+ day cycles involving procurement, legal, and board approval
• Familiarity with active public-sector funding streams - Title I, IDEA, 21st CCLC, state set-asides, and state literacy law allocations (and how districts deploy them for intervention programs)
• Fluency with HubSpot, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Apollo or ZoomInfo, and Gong or Outreach
• Daily hands-on use of AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini) with concrete examples of workflows you've built or improved
• A bachelor's degree in Business, Marketing, Education, Public Policy, or related field

We look forward to hearing from you!
