About the Role Looking for the fast-paced make-a-difference energy of a startup? At CoreCampus you’ll find the best of a startup (small, scrappy, get-things-done vibe) with the stability of a long-running organization (founded in 1986, financially stable, profitable, no debt). Your work will be highly valued and you’ll have the ability to make a significant contribution to the growth of the organization. We're looking for a Senior Account Executive to join our team reporting directly to the CEO. This is a new-business (hunter) role and the second quota-carrying seller on a small sales team. You'll sell a complex, enterprise-grade student information system to colleges and universities, owning deals from first conversation through signature. Location: Remote (US) As the Senior Account Executive, you will: - Win New Logos: Own the full sales cycle for new institutions – prospecting, qualifying, discovery, demos, negotiation and close. This is a new-business role; renewals and ongoing account management sit outside it. - Carry an Enterprise Quota: Deliver against an annual quota of approximately $1M in new ARR, with typical deal sizes of $100K–$150K in first-year contract value. - Run Complex Sales Cycles: Manage cycles that average 4–6 months and can run from 3 months to 2 years. - Sell at the Executive Level: Position CoreCampus with senior higher-education leaders, frame the institution's business problem and build a value case for change. - Build Your Own Pipeline: Identify and develop opportunities through outbound prospecting, using tools such as HubSpot, LinkedIn and email campaigns. - Collaborate Across Teams: Work with marketing and product to sharpen messaging and lead generation, and hand off new customers cleanly for onboarding. Requirements - SaaS Sales Experience: 5+ years of quota-carrying B2B SaaS sales experience, with a focus on new-business / new-logo acquisition. - Higher Education Experience: 3+ years selling software or technology solutions to colleges and universities. - Enterprise Deal Experience: Track record closing deals in the low six figures with multi-month sales cycles. - Quantified Results: Consistent quota attainment that you can back with specific numbers – quota size, attainment by year, average deal size and new-logo wins. - Executive Presence: Comfortable leading conversations with senior executives and positioning a complex product at a business level. Key Qualifications - Small-Company Operator: You've sold at scale but don't need big-company infrastructure. You're comfortable building your own pipeline and process with lean resources. - Higher-Ed Market Knowledge: Familiarity with the higher-education technology landscape (e.g., SIS, ERP, CRM, enrollment, LMS or assessment platforms) and how institutions evaluate and buy software. - Consultative Seller: Strong discovery skills; able to learn a complex product quickly and tie it to institutional outcomes. - Self-Starter: Entrepreneurial, accountable and motivated by building something in a small team. - Tech-Savvy: Comfortable with CRM tools (e.g., HubSpot), AI-enabled sales tools and video conferencing for demos. - Education: Bachelor's degree preferred. Why Join CoreCampus Software? - Impact: Be a cornerstone of our sales efforts and directly shape the future of our company. - Autonomy: Take ownership of your role with the freedom to innovate and execute your ideas. - Supportive Culture: Join a collaborative and passionate team dedicated to making a difference in higher education. Compensation & Benefits - Base Salary: $120,000–$150,000, based on experience. - On-Target Earnings (OTE): $240,000–$300,000, with a 50/50 base-to-variable split. - Commission: Uncapped. Paid on first-year annual contract value for each new logo, after the customer's first payment is received. - Benefits: Health, dental and vision insurance, 401(k) matching, company-provided computer workstation and opportunities for professional development.
