Description
Are you passionate about revolutionizing education through cutting-edge AI technology? Join our stealth-stage EdTech startup, where we're not just building another learning platform – we're on a mission to transform how parents, teachers, and students engage with education. As a visionary leader of our AI-enabled educational products, including test prep services, full K-8 curricula, and game-based learning apps, you'll be at the forefront of this educational transformation.
This is not your typical leadership role. We're seeking an experienced, senior-level evangelist and visionary who can drive substantial user adoption and shape the future of learning on a global scale. You'll leverage generative AI to boost productivity and customer engagement while also leading and developing our sales organization.
What sets this role apart is the laser focus on directly engaging individual consumers. Your mission will be to drive user adoption in a competitive market, directly impacting how students learn, how parents participate in their children's education, and how teachers support learning outcomes. Your proven experience in selling education products or services to individual consumers – such as parents, teachers, or students – is crucial to your success.
Imagine having the power to transform education for millions of students, parents, and educators. If you're ready to champion this cause, build a strong personal brand, and thrive in a dynamic environment – we want you on our team. Together, let's leverage the power of AI to revolutionize learning!

What you will NOT be doing
- Selling directly to schools, districts, or education boards.
- Relying on outdated or traditional sales methods that do not resonate with today’s consumer-driven market.
- Developing products without direct feedback and engagement from end-users, including parents, teachers, and students.
- Operating in rigid, bureaucratic environments or prioritizing institutional decision-making processes over consumer needs.
Key responsibilities
- Achieving $10M+ annual revenue across a variety of consumer-facing education products.
