Responsibilities
- Partner with the field rep and VP of BD to identify and open relationships with trade schools, technical colleges, and vocational training programs
- Help nurture relationships with program directors, instructors, and school leadership — supporting the field rep with research, outreach, and follow-through
- Build curriculum-ready materials — lesson plans, case studies, and lab exercises — in close collaboration with early-adopter instructors
- Design and maintain a library of tutorials, quick-start guides, and sandbox environments that make it easy for instructors to onboard and teach with Tekmetric confidently

Skills
- Proven experience in prospecting, outreach, and relationship-building (prior BD experience preferred)
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, especially in environments where the message is still being figured out
- A high-ownership mindset — you don't wait for direction, and you're energized by building something from nothing
- Comfort with ambiguity and a willingness to pivot — strategies will change, priorities will shift, and early assumptions will get rewritten. You see that as part of the work, not a frustration
