Account Executive
We’re looking for a dynamic, high-performing Account Executive with experience selling technology and/or other services over the phone, by email, and via web-based presentations. The Account Executive is responsible for energetically championing CampusESP solutions to named higher education institutions. Additionally, this role is responsible for acquisition of new customers within the assigned territory from first touch to close. If you have a passion for technology and an interest in how it can facilitate positive social change, we want to talk with you!
We’re looking for an Account Executive who loves to own it. Your territory. Your pipeline. Your wins. You’re not afraid to build something from the ground up, and you get excited by turning “we don’t have a budget for that” into “how soon can we start?”
At CampusESP we help colleges and universities turn families into partners. Our platform drives real results in enrollment, retention, and giving. If you thrive in a fast-moving, collaborative team, can juggle multiple opportunities with ease, and believe coffee is a food group … keep reading.
This position can be based in our Philadelphia headquarters, Manhattan satellite office, or remote.
Your daily adventures will include:
Owning a territory and developing a strategic plan to connect with higher ed leaders across enrollment, marketing, student affairs, advancement, and beyond.
Building your own pipeline of opportunities through creative outreach, research, and hustle.
Running consultative, story-driven conversations that tie CampusESP to meaningful campus outcomes.
Managing a mix of quick wins ($20K–$40K deals) and longer-term strategic opportunities.
Partnering with SDRs and marketing to create campaigns that get noticed (and responded to).
Guiding institutions through buying processes that don’t always exist yet — and helping shape them as you go.
Forecasting with accuracy, keeping your CRM clean, and celebrating every win.
Drinking more coffee than you’d ever admit in a public job description.
Qualifications:
Proven track record of setting ambitious goals, owning the process, and consistently hitting (or beating) them.
3+ years selling into or working with higher education.
Proven success owning a territory, building pipeline, and closing business.
Experience managing multiple stakeholders and complex buying groups.

Track record of consistent quota attainment.
Excellent communicator and storyteller with genuine curiosity.
Experience using Zoom or similar web-based tools for presentations.
Bachelor’s degree required.

Sales Development Representative (SDR)
At CampusESP, SDRs don’t just send emails — they start conversations that fuel student success. If you’re curious, competitive, and love trying new tools, this role on a high-energy sales and marketing team that’s redefining how higher ed connects with families could be your perfect match.
You’ll use intent data, AI, and industry insights to identify the right colleges and universities, personalize outreach at scale, and tell a story that matters: how family engagement drives enrollment, retention, and student success.
Working hand-in-hand with Marketing and Account Executives, you’ll turn high-intent leads from webinars, content, and events into qualified meetings that move the needle. You’ll test new messaging, track results in HubSpot, and keep improving with every interaction.
And because we believe in growing talent from within, you’ll have a clear path to your next big role — Account Executive or Senior SDR — within 12–18 months.
Your daily adventures will include:
Identifying and engaging prospective colleges and universities via calls, emails, and social.
Using intent data, industry insights, and sales tech to prioritize accounts and personalize outreach at scale.
Leveraging AI to increase personalization and productivity (and showing the receipts).
Building a strong understanding of CampusESP’s value for Enrollment, Marketing, and Student Affairs leaders.
Partnering with Marketing and AEs to work high-intent leads from webinars, content, and events.
Running tight cadences in HubSpot, tracking results, and iterating on messaging that performs.
Booking qualified meetings that turn into opportunities and revenue.
Earning a promotion to AE or Senior SDR within 12–18 months.
Qualifications:
1–2 years in B2B sales or business development (SaaS/EdTech preferred).
Excellent written and verbal communication; you’re curious, organized, and resilient.
Comfortable with HubSpot, Gong, and AI tools for research and personalization.
Proven success in remote selling if you’re outside the Philadelphia metro area.
Growth mindset — open to coaching, experimenting, and improving every week.
Bonus points if you have:
Experience selling to higher-ed or public sector buyers.
Exposure to modern prospecting workflows (intent data, social selling, personalization at scale).
