Role summary
Securly is seeking a remote Customer Account Executive for its K-12 EdTech market. This role focuses on driving cross-sell revenue within existing school district accounts by introducing new product lines. Responsibilities include managing both high-volume, one-to-many outreach for smaller districts and high-touch, personalized engagement for mid-size and large districts. The executive will own the full sales cycle, from prospecting to closing, and is expected to build a strong pipeline and maintain accurate forecasting. Success requires a competitive drive, the ability to manage multi-stakeholder deals, and a genuine interest in student safety and how schools purchase technology. A minimum of 2 years of experience as an AE, Account Manager, or CSM, ideally in K-12 SaaS or EdTech, is required.
Customer Account Executive – K-12 EdTech – Remote
Remote (U.S.) · Up to $90K base + up to $40K variable = up to $130K OTE
Help school districts that already trust Securly expand their protection with technology credited with helping prevent 2,000+ potential student tragedies. If you've carried a quota and want your number to mean something, this is where you grow a sales career with real impact.
The role
You own cross-sell revenue across an assigned territory of existing K-12 customers. These districts already use Securly, and you'll help them add the products they don't have yet. Your focus is new product lines inside existing accounts.
You'll run two motions:
You carry a quota and own the full cycle. You report to the SVP and work closely with Customer Success, Solutions Engineering, Marketing, RevOps, and Channel Partners.
What success looks like
You'll get a structured ramp with coaching at every stage. The milestones below show what the work typically looks like as you build up.
Timeframe
What you'll be doing
First 30 days
Learn the K-12 landscape, our product suite and pricing, and the tools and systems we use. Segment your territory into small and mid/large districts, identify your top cross-sell targets in each, and shadow CSMs and SEs.
Days 60–90
Run your first one-to-many campaigns to small districts and personalized outreach to priority mid-size and large accounts. Build a steadily growing pipeline that trends toward the coverage you'll need to hit quota. Begin closing your first cross-sell deals, typically smaller, faster-moving opportunities.
By the 6-month mark
Close deals across multiple product lines and both segments. Show a consistent pattern of pipeline creation and steadily improving forecast accuracy. Ramp toward full quota.
12 months
Consistently meet or exceed quota. Run a repeatable small-district engine alongside a growing book of strategic wins. Help shape the playbook for future hires.
Milestones are typical examples, not fixed requirements. Specific goals are set by your manager and may change based on territory, season, and business needs.
Who we're looking for
What you'll bring:
A realistic look at the job
This is a selling role, and your week splits between two kinds of work. Some days you'll run campaigns and move quickly through a high volume of small-district responses. Other days you'll be deep in a single large district: mapping stakeholders, preparing for a board-level conversation, or working through procurement. K-12 has its own rhythm, so some deals close in a week while others take two quarters.
The role is fully remote within the U.S., with occasional travel to conferences / customer visits.
Compensation and benefits
