Business Development Representative, Higher Education

CollegeVine is the leader in helping students connect with—and get accepted by—the best college for their needs, and we're looking for a Business Development Representative to join our Higher Education Partnerships team. You'll be responsible for reaching out to Directors of Admissions at colleges and universities via phone, email and social, telling them a bit about our student recruiting products, and scheduling meetings between them and our sales team. This is a remote job and will report to the Demand Generation Manager.

Here's what's so great about this job:

CollegeVine is a one-of-a-kind platform where high school students create profiles showcasing their academic accomplishments, extracurricular activities, intended future plans, and college preferences. Students then choose which colleges they want to share their profile with, connect directly with admissions teams, submit their applications, get accepted, and receive scholarships—all on the CollegeVine platform. Along the way, students have access to a curated community of licensed college advisors who help the students design personalized application strategies, improve their essays and understand their acceptance chances.

With nearly 2 million students already on the platform and a new student joining every 30 seconds, CollegeVine is the world’s largest student network and quickly becoming the go-to resource for every college-bound student.

We make money by partnering with colleges who want to connect with students that fit their ideal student profile. Colleges can leverage CollegeVine's unique pool of profile data—intentionally provided by students—to find their best-fit students and connect with them directly on our platform. Historically, college admission teams have had to resort to buying lists of student email addresses harvested from testing services and other list brokers, resulting in a sub-par communication experience for both students and colleges. CollegeVine provides a revolutionary leap forward in how colleges recruit students. 

This job gets to work on making sure every college admissions team knows our story, and it's a great way to start or restart your career in sales at a fast-growing tech company. Pretty cool, huh?

Oh, and we're a remote company with amazing teammates all across the country who work at CollegeVine for one reason: to make it easier for students to find and get accepted by the best college for their life goals.

Here's what you'd be working on:

• Schedule meetings with qualified prospects for our sales team through phone calls, email and social tools

• Strategize and prioritize with sales and marketing to create campaigns based on trends in the market

• Be the voice of our company by introducing potential clients to our brand

• Research to find the best contact for each college and tailor outreach for different buyer types

• Be thorough and organized in your documentation and processes in SalesLoft & Salesforce

• Stay up-to-date with new products/services, new pricing/payment plans and all B2B content that relates to the types of schools you're calling

• Report to the Demand Gen Manager weekly with sales results

Here are the qualifications we're looking for:

• 1+ years sales experience

• Persuasive & clear verbal & written communication skills

• A burning desire to win

• Experience working in or selling to higher education a big plus

And of course we offer full benefits including health, dental, and vision coverage, 401k, flex time, remote office stipends and more. 

Candidates only.  No recruiters or agencies, please. Sorry, we do not offer relocation assistance.
