Senior Sales Coach

We’re looking for a Senior Sales Coach to raise the performance of our revenue teams through hands-on, data-informed coaching. In this role, you’ll partner closely with New Business Executives (NBEs) and Customer Success Managers (CSMs), and coach the sales leaders who manage them, to sharpen selling, discovery, and expansion skills across their teams, translating sales performance data into targeted coaching that measurably moves the needle. You’ll work with sellers and leaders 1:1, in small groups, and 1:many, delivering live virtual training, coaching and support programs. You will also deliver live in-person coaching at regional sales events and Sales Kickoff.

This position sits on the Sales Enablement team and reports to the Sales Learning and Execution Lead. While the role does not carry direct reports, you’ll hold a dotted-line accountability to team performance, working shoulder-to-shoulder with front-line sales managers - coaching and developing them as leaders while partnering with them to close skill gaps and accelerate ramp across their teams. You'll work in close partnership with the Sales Learning and Execution Lead, who owns learning strategy, curriculum design, and performance diagnostics, while you own delivery, in-the-field coaching, and frontline execution. The ideal candidate has sold and supported or led high-performing teams within an EdTech environment, understands the rhythms of the K-12 sales cycle, and knows how to turn a dashboard into a development plan.
