Sales Specialist – K–8 Education

Location: Remote (Eastern Time preferred)

At GrowthMinded, we’re on a mission to transform how K–8 schools implement social-emotional learning (SEL). We empower schools and districts with tools that support student well-being, teacher growth, and measurable SEL outcomes.

We’re looking for a Sales Specialist with a passion for education, a talent for connecting with school decision-makers, and the drive to close impactful deals. This is an exciting opportunity to join a fast-growing, purpose-driven team and make a direct difference in the lives of students and educators.

What You’ll Do
- Own the entire sales cycle—from cold outreach to close—for K–8 schools, districts, and education professionals.

- Develop strategic territory plans using regional trends and analytics to identify high-impact opportunities.

- Identify and engage key stakeholders, including administrators, counselors, SEL leaders, and district decision-makers.

- Partner with Sales Operations to build and execute outbound campaigns that drive interest and conversions.

- Book and lead compelling product demos that align GrowthMinded’s offerings with school and district SEL priorities.

- Maintain accurate pipeline tracking and activity logging in HubSpot.

- Collaborate with marketing and sales leadership to refine messaging, outreach tactics, and lead-generation strategies.

What You Bring
- 3+ years of sales experience, ideally in education, edtech, curriculum, or professional development services.

- A strong understanding of K–8 education, especially frameworks like SEL, MTSS, or school counseling.

- Proven experience selling to schools and districts, with an ability to navigate long sales cycles and multiple stakeholders.

- Confidence on Zoom—comfortable presenting to both individual educators and district teams with clarity and persuasion.

- Proficiency in email outreach and follow-up, including writing personalized, effective messages tailored to each role and context.

- Strong written and verbal communication skills, especially when working with executive-level education leaders.

- Familiarity with CRM platforms—HubSpot is a plus.

- A collaborative, team-oriented mindset and the ability to work cross-functionally with marketing, product, and ops teams.

- Adaptability, curiosity, and a self-starter attitude—comfortable in a fast-paced, evolving environment.

- A bachelor’s degree in business, marketing, education—or equivalent professional experience.
