**Job
DescriptionABOUT THE ROLE**

Emeritus is expanding beyond its core executive education business to bring its proprietary AI platform — built on top of its custom Canvas-based LMS — directly to universities and colleges. We're looking for a Business Development Representative to drive top-of-funnel pipeline for this new SaaS line of business, setting qualified appointments with senior academic and technology leaders at higher-education institutions worldwide.

This is a high-impact, full-time role at the ground floor of a fast-growing business line, working closely with sales leadership to build and refine outbound prospecting into a scalable, repeatable motion.

Success in this role is measured against industry-standard outbound call volume and conversion metrics for appointment-setting, with clear targets set collaboratively during onboarding.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

•Prospect and set qualified appointments for sales leadership, targeting Provosts, CIOs, and Academic Technology leaders at Tier 2 institutions.

•Execute persona-based outbound sequences across email, phone, and LinkedIn, tailored to Provost, CIO, Student Success, and AI-differentiation messaging angles.

•Log all prospecting activities, contacts, and outcomes accurately and consistently in our CRM.

•Maintain organized, up-to-date pipeline records and follow-up cadences across all active outreach campaigns.

•Partner with sales leadership to refine messaging, targeting, and outreach cadence based on what's converting.

• Meet weekly and monthly appointment-setting targets in support of new business growth.

WHAT YOU BRING

• 3+ years of experience setting appointments in support of sales leadership prospecting efforts, ideally in a B2B or

SaaS environment.

• Deep, hands-on experience in the higher education sector — familiarity with academic buyers, LMS platforms,

and/or OPM (online program management) models is strongly preferred.

• Fluent English, with strong written and verbal communication skills suited to engaging senior academic and

technology leaders.

• Highly organized and detail-oriented, with the discipline to manage a consistent outbound cadence

independently.

• Proficient with HubSpot (or comparable CRM), with a track record of clean, reliable activity logging.

• Comfortable working independently in a remote, part-time capacity, with the flexibility to scale hours as the

pipeline grows.

WHY THIS ROLE

You'll be one of the first dedicated sales development hires for a new, high-visibility business line at a company Time

named the top edtech company in the world in 2024 (and a top-ranked company again in 2025). As this business

scales, there's a clear path to grow with the team — including opportunities to move into full-time roles, Account

Executive positions, or team management, based on performance and interest.
