About the Role
~1 min readAs our Enterprise Account Executive, Higher Education, you will sell exclusively into colleges and universities across the United States and will have true ownership over the vertical. Tremendous has traction with universities today, but your efforts will be highly focused and directly influence how we approach this space moving forward.
While this role is focused on universities, this isn't one customer for Tremendous, it's several. You will focus on three motions that we know land: research teams paying study participants, HR teams running employee/student recognition, and student affairs departments issuing stipends. Win one of those on a campus, and you've got a credible path to the other two.
This role is roughly 70% new logo and 30% expansion. You're primarily a hunter, but the institutions you land become accounts that you can grow.
