Amplified IT is a multi-award winning education-technology consultancy. We’re proud to say that we currently work with over 4,000 districts; including 10 of the 15 largest in North America. Our success comes down to our team, products and the way we work: in short we know Google and we know Education.

Amplified IT is entering our next phase of growth and looking to add a dedicated, driven Higher Education Sales Lead to our sales department in Norfolk, VA.

Our Higher Ed Lead will work across the business leading the development of strategy, sales processes and account management as it relates to Higher Education. As we are a mature startup, we expect our HE Lead to establish their role but be flexible to take on other challenges as they appear.

At Amplified IT, we believe diverse teams work smarter, have more fun on the job, and empathize better with the needs of schools. When we hire, evaluate, reward, and promote, we strive to ensure each person is judged as an individual on the merits of their unique contributions to the work, as free as possible from bias or discrimination.

• Re-engage schools to open new deals and deepen engagement at schools we already are working closely with.

• Continuously stay up to date on the higher education landscape and user needs including competition, partners, budgets, budget cycles and any other latest developments.
• Possess a strong technical understanding with the confidence to have conversations with highly technical clients to explore technical requirements with minimum touch points.

Qualifications:

• 5+ years of sales experience with a history of meeting or exceeding targets in a technology organization
• 2+ years of working experience in the Higher Education space.
• Demonstrated ability to create sales strategies, sales processes, and optimizing these as necessary.
• Strong knowledge of reporting and dashboards; highly focused on data, numbers and process.
