Hi Rasmus is expanding into a high-impact new market: U.S. school districts. We already partner with forward-thinking schools, and now we're looking for someone to help us grow those relationships into a repeatable, scalable school district sales motion-with heart, strategy, and hands-on execution.
This is a unique, full-cycle, player-owner role for someone who thrives wearing many hats, building trust from the ground up, and shaping how a new market understands our platform and mission.
You'll work closely with our CCO, whose leadership is rooted in clinical expertise, deep care for outcomes, and founder-led vision. You'll help translate those insights into outreach, demos, pilots, procurement, and expansion-owning the cycle end-to-end while helping define what "school success" looks like here.
This role is ideal for someone who:
- Loves B2B SaaS sales + market creation
- Can think strategically and act independently
- Is energized by complex sales cycles (discovery, pilots, stakeholders, procurement, implementation)
- Enjoys building new sales pathways, not following old ones
- Can help us scale a motion bigger than our current team size, while staying hands-on in selling
What You'll Do - Build pipeline in school districts by identifying high-impact regions, stakeholders, and pilot pathways
- Expand our current school partnerships into district-wide opportunities
- Research funding cycles, procurement pathways, district needs, and decision rights
- Lead outreach that converts curiosity → demos → guided trials → district expansion
- Own early school partnerships end-to-end, from first conversation through pilot, onboarding, and expansion, while helping define what scalable success looks like for this segment.
- Run discovery calls, demos, and stakeholder alignment sessions
- Partner closely with Customer Success to shape ideal district onboarding and enablement processes
- Translate district discovery, objections, and active customer outcomes into clear market signals
- Partner with Product and CCO to inform school-specific MVP scope, packaging, and pricing hypotheses
- Help validate what is required vs nice-to-have for district adoption and renew
Cross-Functional Collaboration
- Work directly with our CCO to shape messaging, pitch narrative, district insights, and market entry strategy
- Partner with VP of Sales on forecasting, pipeline health, and district deal strategy
- Collaborate with Product + Customer Success to inform district needs and platform opportunities
Communication & Learning
- Build school district sales motions that are clear, direct, and neurodiverse-friendly
- Codify what works into reusable templates for district outreach, trial or pilot approach, procurement pathways, and expansion plays
- Share learning back across Commercial and cross-org teams
- Model feedback and collaboration that builds trust quickly in a small team
You'll help us:
- Expand from individual school partnerships into district-wide ARR
- Build predictable pipeline engines in 5-10 new school districts
- Improve time-to-pilot and time-to-procurement close rates
- Establish reusable frameworks for school district outreach and expansion
- Contribute meaningfully to net-new ARR from school districts, with clear visibility into pipeline, conversion rates, and deal velocity
- Shape what school success looks like here, measured by impact + ARR growth
What You Bring Must-Have
- 3+ years in B2B SaaS sales, SDR, or AE roles
- Proven ability to navigate complex, multi-stakeholder sales cycles
- Experience selling into schools, education procurement, or public sector markets
- Comfort working end-to-end in sales cycle while shaping new market motions
- Strong communication skills managing up and working closely with founders/execs
- Curiosity + resilience + high ownership mindset
Bonus
- Familiarity with funding cycles, procurement, or pilot design in school districts
- Background in behavioral health, special education, or mission-driven tech
- Work directly with the CCO to shape school-specific market strategy, messaging, pilots, and MVP definition
- Translate district discovery and customer feedback into clear signals for Product, Sales, and Customer Success
- Co-own early school partnerships end-to-end, from first conversation through pilot, onboarding, and expansion
- Iterate quickly, test assumptions, and help define what "school success" looks like for Hi Rasmus

With Product:
- Partner closely to translate school district discovery, pilot outcomes, and buyer feedback into clear product requirements and MVP recommendations
- Help validate which capabilities are required vs. differentiating for district adoption, expansion, and renewal
- Provide ongoing market signals on usability, workflows, reporting needs, and compliance considerations unique to school environments
- Participate in early reviews of school-specific product concepts to ensure they are practical, scalable, and aligned with district realities
