Locations: Addison, TX & Grand Rapids, MI (4 Days In-Office)
Compensation: $75k Base (Midpoint) + Uncapped Commission
The Mission: Real-World Impact through AI
Our client is a fast-growing tech scale-up on a meaningful mission to transform K–12 STEM education through the power of AI. Their platform empowers teachers and gives them real-time visibility into student progress, making classrooms more inclusive and effective for every learner.

The Role: Beyond the Cold-Call Grind
As a Business Development Representative (BDR), you are on the front lines of growth. While you will hunt for opportunities via traditional outreach, this is a predominantly field-facing role.
You will be the face of the brand at regional conferences, trade shows, and industry events. You won't just be a voice on a phone; you’ll be building meaningful, in-person relationships with educators and school leaders.
Your Career Launchpad:
- Field Mastery: Represent the brand at major events to generate high-quality leads and qualifying opportunities for the Account Executive team.
- The AE Path: This role is designed as a long-term growth opportunity. High-performers have a clear, documented pathway into full sales cycle roles (Account Executive), where you will own deals from prospect to close.
- Mentorship: Work closely with seasoned AEs to coordinate outreach and gain exposure to discovery, demos, and pipeline management.
- Travel: Expect significant travel to partner districts and conferences to see the technology in action firsthand.

Who You Are
- The "Gritty" Professional: You have 1–5 years of experience in lead generation or B2B sales. You have a track record of exceeding targets and a hunger for career progression.
- High Engagement: You are comfortable and confident in client-facing environments. You can walk onto a conference floor and hold a meaningful conversation with a Superintendent or Principal with ease.
- Sales Fundamentals: While "vibe" is important, your sales skills trump all. You are proactive, organized, and a quick learner who understands the fundamentals of qualifying an opportunity.
- Self-Starter: You thrive in an environment where you are given the freedom to explore new solutions and approaches rather than just following a rigid script.
