ABOUT ALLOVUE

Allovue believes every student deserves access to the resources they need to be successful in school. Our education resource planning software empowers K-12 administrators at every level to allocate resources to best support the needs of their students. We seek people who are creative, funny, humble, flexible, motivated, collaborative, and problem-solvers. We love and respect our team members. We also love silly GIFs.

YOUR ROLE

As an Account Executive, you will be integral in developing your territory by partnering with school districts across the country to ensure they are making every dollar work for every student. Specifically, you will be responsible for managing the sales cycle between qualified lead to close, presenting and demoing virtually or in person with school and district leaders, supporting the RFP team as applicable, leveraging your organizational abilities, using our CRM and processes to develop your pipeline, communicating cross-functionally on sales and marketing strategies, ensuring a smooth transition to the Customer Success team for district success, and travel up to 25% of the time, including travel to districts and relevant events or conferences. Your success will be measured by the opportunities you close and the relationships you build and maintain.

YOU'LL LOVE THIS ROLE BECAUSE…

You’ll get to work in an autonomous (but supportive!) sales environment while using the full breadth of your skills, passion, and creativity in sales. You’ll build partnerships with district leaders to help them ensure fiscal transparency and equity in a niche but necessary market.  You’ll thrive in a highly collaborative and friendly relationship with marketing, business development, customer success, and product teams to drive your success.
