This role is built for an experienced, highly autonomous sales professional who is a true hunter. Operating fully remotely from the US East Coast (to ensure optimal collaboration with our Amsterdam headquarters), you will be driving new business across other US time zones (Central and/or Western).
You won’t just be booking meetings; you’ll be the first credible voice prospects hear, opening conversations with Higher Education leaders and shaping the earliest, most critical stages of the sales cycle. Because this is a highly independent role, we are looking for a proactive self-starter who thrives without micromanagement.
You’ll partner closely with your AE on outbound strategy, respond quickly to inbound interest, run structured discovery, and hand over opportunities with the clarity AEs need to win. You’ll build upon your strong sales fundamentals, collaborate effectively across time zones, and act as the connective tissue between Marketing and Sales.
And your work matters. As the first touchpoint for institutions in the US, you influence how they understand their challenges, see our value, and step into the journey with us. Your conversations don’t just fill the pipeline, they steer it. If you care about craft, pace, curiosity, and helping institutions empower their educators through best-in-class learning design, you’ll thrive here.
What you’ll do:
Partner with your AE to focus on the highest-value ICP accounts in the region
Operate as a proactive hunter, crafting thoughtful, personalized outreach across email, phone, LinkedIn, and events.
Engage senior Higher Ed leaders (Deans, CIOs, CTL leaders, Instructional Designers) with credibility and curiosity
Lead first meetings and guide structured discovery that uncovers real challenges
Spot early champions, clarify needs and shape strong use-case fit from the start
Be the first trusted voice prospects hear by responding quickly and professionally
Run short, targeted discovery conversations to understand pain, urgency and priorities
Move qualified leads into high-quality opportunities or guide lower-intent leads into the right nurture path
Capture crisp notes so AEs can pick up seamlessly and keep momentum strong
Join early AE conversations to ensure a confident, smooth transition
Guide prospects through our sandbox and demo environments
Surface early champions, blockers and relevant context
Contribute to business cases, early proposals and next-step preparation
Keep HubSpot clean and insight-rich so pipeline decisions are fast and accurate
Learn directly from senior team members and continuously refine your sales craft
Participate in workshops, training and skill-development sessions
Share prospect insights that help Marketing and Product improve our message and offering
