Customer Account Executive, K-12, EdTech
Customer Account Executive – K-12 EdTech – Remote
Remote (U.S.) · Up to $90K base + up to $40K variable = up to $130K OTE
Help school districts that already trust Securly expand their protection with technology credited with helping prevent 2,000+ potential student tragedies. If you've carried a quota and want your number to mean something, this is where you grow a sales career with real impact.
The role
You own cross-sell revenue across an assigned territory of existing K-12 customers. These districts already use Securly, and you'll help them add the products they don't have yet. Your focus is new product lines inside existing accounts.
You'll run two motions:
- Small districts: a one-to-many approach built on scaled sequences, webinars, and bundled offers.
- Mid-size and large districts: a high-touch approach of personalized calling and outreach, account plans, and multi-threading across superintendents, tech directors, student services, and business officials.
You carry a quota and own the full cycle. You report to the SVP and work closely with Customer Success, Solutions Engineering, Marketing, RevOps, and Channel Partners.
What success looks like
You'll get a structured ramp with coaching at every stage. The milestones below show what the work typically looks like as you build up.
|
Timeframe |
What you'll be doing |
|---|---|
|
First 30 days |
Learn the K-12 landscape, our product suite and pricing, and the tools and systems we use. Segment your territory into small and mid/large districts, identify your top cross-sell targets in each, and shadow CSMs and SEs. |
|
Days 60–90 |
Run your first one-to-many campaigns to small districts and personalized outreach to priority mid-size and large accounts. Build a steadily growing pipeline that trends toward the coverage you'll need to hit quota. Begin closing your first cross-sell deals, typically smaller, faster-moving opportunities. |
|
By the 6-month mark |
Close deals across multiple product lines and both segments. Show a consistent pattern of pipeline creation and steadily improving forecast accuracy. Ramp toward full quota. |
|
12 months |
Consistently meet or exceed quota. Run a repeatable small-district engine alongside a growing book of strategic wins. Help shape the playbook for future hires. |
Milestones are typical examples, not fixed requirements. Specific goals are set by your manager and may change based on territory, season, and business needs.
Who we're looking for
- 2+ years as an AE, Account Manager, or CSM with a proven track record of closing cross-sell deals, ideally in K-12 SaaS or EdTech
- K-12 EdTech sellers, or people with a strong K-12 education background, who've shown success in an AE, CSM, or Account Manager role
What you'll bring:
- Drive and competitiveness: you're motivated by a number and have a track record of hitting it
- Range: you can run high-volume outreach and also lead a multi-stakeholder deal that takes months
- Full-cycle ownership: you prospect, run discovery, build the business case, negotiate, and close
- Multi-product thinking: you match a customer's needs to the right solution, not just the one they already own
- Forecasting discipline: clean pipeline, accurate stages, and no surprises at quarter end
- AI fluency: you use AI tools to research accounts, plan your territory, and personalize outreach
- Curiosity about how schools buy, and a real interest in student safety
A realistic look at the job
This is a selling role, and your week splits between two kinds of work. Some days you'll run campaigns and move quickly through a high volume of small-district responses. Other days you'll be deep in a single large district: mapping stakeholders, preparing for a board-level conversation, or working through procurement. K-12 has its own rhythm, so some deals close in a week while others take two quarters.
The role is fully remote within the U.S., with occasional travel to conferences / customer visits.
Compensation and benefits
- Up to $90,000 base + up to $40,000 variable = up to $130,000 on-target earnings
- Top-tier medical, dental, and vision coverage
- 401(k) with company match
- Unlimited PTO plus a paid year-end shutdown
- 12 weeks of paid parental leave
- Free 24/7 confidential mental health counseling and wellness tools
- $1,000 annual learning stipend
- Structured onboarding and ongoing coaching
