About the role

  • Building and managing a robust sales pipeline with deals ranging from $20k to $500k+
  • Identifying, prospecting, and securing partnerships with new university clients across the US, focusing on both well-known institutions and emerging educational entities
  • Developing and executing innovative sales strategies to rapidly expand our market presence over the next three years
  • Achieving and surpassing sales targets and KPIs, contributing to both your financial success and the overall growth of VI

Requirements

  • Success as an Account Executive within an early stage start-up, ideally in the EdTech sector
  • Experience with, and the stamina for, long-cycle sales. You particularly understand how to drive against ambitious timelines and targets while also balancing the needs and realities of individual target client constraints
  • Willingness to work in a fast-paced, evolving early-stage environment. You are comfortable with the ambiguity that comes with a startup environment, and you are excited by the idea of working with a global team across 25+ countries
  • Collaboration with cross-functional teams (Partnerships, Growth Marketing, and Operational teams) to work effectively in a remote and asynchronous environment
  • Building relationships should come easy to you – and you’ll love connecting with people
  • Willingness to travel - domestically and possibly internationally as needed. Given the current environment, you also bring an instinct of knowing when meetings should take place virtually versus in person
  • Legally able to work in home country without sponsorship
Benefits
  • Remote-First: All roles at VI are currently and will remain remote - flexibility to work from anywhere
  • Flexible Working Hours: Start earlier, leave earlier, take a shorter lunch, or leave later, it's totally up to you.
  • Annual Leave: Wherever you are in the world, you’ll get 25 days of paid annual leave per year, plus bank holidays and 5 sick days.
  • Life Event Leave: There are moments in life where your life responsibility is a higher priority than work (e.g. moving house, your best friend getting married, your sister having a baby) therefore, you’ll get 5 days of paid life-event leave to support these occasions. You also get a day off on your birthday. This is in addition to your Annual Leave.
  • Flexible VIer Budget: You’ll receive a flexible budget of $1,000 per year that you can use on but not limited to your work setup, personal wellness, or professional development.
  • Tech: New joiners receive a budget for your company laptop depending on the role and location.
