Head of Sales

Padlet is building software for a good education. A good education is one that inspires curiosity, creativity, and community. Our software enables that through visual content creation and collaboration in millions of classrooms worldwide.

We have enjoyed strong product lead revenue growth and are now seeing increasing demands from schools and districts for purchasing our software for their entire organization. We are actually unable to meet the demand. That’s not good.

We are looking for a Head of Sales in our San Francisco office to help us manage the institutional demand for our product. This will be our first sales hire. You’ll not only have the opportunity to define the process, but also hire your team yourself.

Qualifications

• You like working hard.

• You have experience selling to schools, school districts, or universities.

• You've built effective sales compensation plans.

• You've done both inbound and outbound sales.

• Bonus: you have a good sense of humor.
