Sr. Account Executive - Remote Eligible

Sr. Enterprise Account Executive (EMEA)

At SchoolAI, we believe AI can meaningfully improve teaching and learning. We combine cutting-edge AI with a deep understanding of classroom challenges to help educators save time, personalize learning, and keep students safe.

This is an incredibly exciting time to join SchoolAI at the edge of a new frontier. As part of our growing international sales team, you'll have the chance to play a key role not only in shaping the future of SchoolAI but in transforming EdTech on a global stage. If you're looking for a mission-driven company where you can grow professionally, have fun, and make a real difference, SchoolAI is the place for you.

We're a US-based company expanding internationally to meet rising demand. If you want to help scale a category-defining product across EMEA and grow your career while doing purposeful work, this role is for you.

Why This Role Is Unique

• Greenfield + momentum: You'll build SchoolAI's EMEA presence with strong inbound interest and a proven PLG motion (free → pilot → department/district) combined with strategic prospecting.
• Real classroom impact: You'll sell solutions that remove teacher admin load and elevate student success.

Career runway: As we scale, so do you - leadership, strategic accounts, and regional expansion opportunities.

About the role

As our Sr. Enterprise Account Executive (EMEA), you will own new logo acquisition and expansion across Multi-Academy Trusts (MATs), Independent & International Schools, Dept of Education and Ministry of Education. You'll run complex cycles (pilots, security reviews, procurement frameworks, panels, grants) and build a durable EMEA pipeline in partnership with marketing, customer success, and select resellers.

You'll translate SchoolAI's US success into the EMEA context, aligning to relevant academic term calendars, local policy/priorities and compliance frameworks.

What You'll Do

• Own the territory: Build and execute a 12-month EMEA territory plan (segments, target logos, events, partners, public tenders).
• Create & progress pipeline: Blend outbound with product-led inbound (PQLs). Run tight discovery, multi-thread early, and convert pilots to rollouts.
• Deliver compelling demos: Tailor to EMEA curriculum contexts, assessment priorities, and teacher workflows.
• Guide complex buys: Navigate DoE / MoE frameworks, panels, RFPs, legal/IT security, and data-privacy reviews.
• Commercial excellence: Structure scaled adoption plans (no shelfware), negotiate multi-year agreements, and forecast accurately.
• Partner motion: Register deals, co-sell with resellers and associations, and co-host micro PD/webinars.
• Cross-functional feedback: Channel market signals to Product / Marketing; influence localization efforts, feature roadmap, and collateral generation.
• Operational hygiene: Maintain precise CRM (HubSpot) notes, MEDDICC fields, and develop Mutual Action Plans (MAPs) to accelerate deal velocity.
• Events & field: Represent SchoolAI at EMEA conferences and targeted roadshows.

Customer advocacy: Build referenceable lighthouse customers and case studies in priority locations.

Qualifications

• 4+ years of quota-carrying SaaS or EdTech sales success; enterprise/education system experience strongly preferred.
• A track record meeting/exceeding targets and running full-cycle deals (prospect → close → expansion).
• Experience selling into public education or government-adjacent environments (procurement, panels, RFPs, security/DPAs).
• Customer-centric discovery and outcome-based selling; comfort with multi-threading and executive alignment.
• Strong commercial acumen (pricing, multi-year structures, phased rollouts) and disciplined forecasting.
• Tech-savvy: confident with CRM (HubSpot/Salesforce), video demos, and (ideally) AI-enabled products.
• Collaboration & ownership: you share, learn, and deliver - especially in a time-zone-distributed team.
• You thrive under pressure - you'll be operating in a fast-growing startup and dynamic environment, where adaptability, initiative, and a growth mindset are critical.

Bonus Points

• EMEA K-12 equivalent (Key Stage 1>5) network, reseller/ISV relationships, or prior EdTech scale-up experience.
• Familiarity with regional curriculum standards, data residency considerations, and school IT ecosystems (incl. LMS/SAM, SSO).
• Public-sector procurement knowledge (buying rules, panels, compliance norms).
• Experience running PLG assisted motions (PQLs, free→paid conversions).

What We Offer

• Competitive base + uncapped commission (OTE aligned to experience; EMEA market competitive).
• Stock options - share in what you help build.
• WFH setup support.
• Flexible hours with overlap to US time zones for team/customer calls.
• A mission-driven team that cares about educators, students and your growth. You'll work with a team of forward-thinking, motivated, and passionate individuals who are just as excited about what we're building as you are.

How We Work (Values in Action)

• Start with the classroom: Teacher time saved and student impact guide our roadmap and deals.
• Earn trust: Transparent privacy & security posture; we meet schools where they are.
• Own the outcome: Clear plans (MAPs), crisp communication, and consistent follow-through.
• Our fundamental mission is to Make School Awesome Everyday.
• Be a Champion for Education: Advocate for SchoolAI's mission and solutions, ensuring that every interaction with customers is aligned with our vision to improve education.
