Account Executive II

Well, hello there 👋

Screencastify is a leading educational technology company dedicated to improving communication and learning outcomes with video. Our primary focus is on the K-12 education sector in the United States and we are critical in helping scale a teacher and improve student outcomes all while being an easy to use solution. Screencastify is used by over 15M people and is seeking a dynamic and results-oriented Account Executive II to join our Squad!

About this role

We built the simplest and most reliable screen recorder in the world, but that’s only the beginning. Now our future is full of ambitious new goals, features, and products that will enable us to further expand the solutions we provide to our users and accelerate our already fast growth. ​

At Screencastify, the Account Executive II is an exciting inside sales role with potential to propel us into a new phase of growth across spaces in education and beyond. While our existing traction and brand reputation will set you up for success, this job will require a great deal of creativity, persistence, and entrepreneurship as we expand in new business opportunities in the K-12 and new vertical markets.

Why is this role special?

1. You get to have a massive impact and own your success. You will be responsible for the new business sales process, from prospecting to close. You’ll manage a book of business and will help drive revenue for the company. You will play a critical role on a team with a lot of growth opportunities ahead.
2. Work with an extremely talented team. The team is small but mighty. You’ll get hands-on coaching, exposure to all departments, and your goals will directly impact our overall success and revenue targets.
3. Join us and be a critical part of our growth story. We're bootstrapped, profitable, and support tens of millions of users, which gives us a huge green field to work with. You'll join at the perfect time to shape how we grow from here.
4. Be a leader amongst leaders. With our small but mighty team, you'll be the owner of your own success, along with having access to the leadership team, including the CEO directly.

What you'll do:

• Work full cycle deals from prospect research all the way through to close. 
• Be a Screencastify evangelist and be able to articulate the big problems we solve for our users and customers every day.
• Beat your daily goals for reaching out to and connecting with prospects and future Screencastify customers.
• Conduct personalized, energizing solution demos.
• Measure and optimize the effectiveness of all stages of your sales process.
• Share best practices across the organization and help others grow from your experiences.
• Work closely and maintain effective communication with other departments, including Customer Success, Product, Support, and Marketing.
• Achieve quarterly KPIs and consistently hit targets for both pipeline growth and closed won new business. 

Requirements

You're perfect for this role if you:

• Bring 3-5 years of inside sales AE experience, preferably in K-12/Ed-Tech software.
• Have experience owning a territory and full sales cycle. 
• Know how to sell to both inbound and outbound leads, drive conversion to opportunity, build pipeline, and close new business at a high velocity.
• Have worked in a CRM such as Salesforce or HubSpot extensively to report on core sales metrics.
• Are charismatic, both in writing and in conversation (you make a GREAT first impression!).
• Jump at opportunities to break convention and do things differently, while moving quickly.
• Are excited to get in on the ground floor of a small, rapidly-growing, fast-paced start-up. You’re comfortable being uncomfortable, and thrive in a self-driven environment with high accountability.

This is a Chicago-based hybrid position with 3 days a week in the office.

Working at Screencastify

At Screencastify, we are results focused and here to improve education globally. This isn’t an easy feat but it is important for our future. We value accountability, commitment, and speed. We take our responsibility to our customers very seriously, so when we miss a deadline or slow down, it matters. 

We’re a competitive culture and strive for speed and innovation. We are problem solvers, don’t point fingers and rather enjoy working together to bring solutions to the forefront.

We love a challenge and pushing the world forward with creativity, ingenuity and out of the box thinking. People are everything and we want to work in a company of deeply good people who treat their colleagues exceptionally well. Rule #1: Be a good person.
