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
- : 5+ years of quota-carrying B2B SaaS sales experience, with a focus on new-business / new-logo acquisition.
