Who we are

At Informed K12, we’re on a mission to help school district administrators operate efficiently and gain insight into their most critical school business processes. Still today, most school districts have hundreds of mission-critical processes that run on paper, making visibility and improvement near impossible. We transform paperwork from a daily stumbling block into a strategic tool. This makes it possible to hire the right teachers for the right classrooms faster, manage bus routes for students without permanent housing, ensure teachers get reimbursed and paid on time, and a lot more. In short, we are powering the future of school district operations by helping district administrators drive the systemic change needed to improve productivity, accountability, and equity.

Our founders came out of Stanford University’s Graduate School of Education. Informed K12 (formerly Chalk Schools) was one of the first companies funded by Stanford’s StartX accelerator and top education technology incubator Imagine K12, now part of Y Combinator.

A strong candidate has a history of closing, presenting, and building consensus across C-level buyers, and enjoys pitching new value propositions with a broad spectrum of users. Your sales style is rooted in strong discovery and qualification, and experience working in a number of different markets with different platform products has taught you how to adapt quickly and manage a high level of complexity.

You feel strongly about learning and working together as a team. Your teammates are a great source of information and tips for you and you’re just as willing to be that for them. You prefer sharing what you learn in the field and are excited to establish repeatable and sustainable sales processes that scale.

Defining and implementing territory sales plans that strategically build a network of key clients, advocates, and extend market reach.

Developing relationships with director and Superintendent-level roles through solution selling and in-person visits, while achieving buy-in from all relevant stakeholders.
Maximizing territory penetration and keeping abreast of industry and market dynamics affecting the selling environment.
Prioritizing and managing sales activities through our CRM database.
Collaborating with peers and customer success to achieve individual and team goals.
Representing Informed K12 at conferences and other networking events.

Start-up experience a plus, including (but not limited to) taking a new product to market and category creation.
Experience learning and selling to different markets.
Proven track record of success using a consultative or solution sales approach.
You are well-versed in how to manage a sales cycle, using your ability to listen and connect to make clients commit to next steps.
A quantifiable track record that illustrates your ability to stay organized, connect with buyers, and achieve on measurable goals.
Tangible experience selling to diverse buying groups, including experience navigating complex organizations and selling to highest-level decision-makers.
Exceptional communication skills, both written and verbal, you are able to sell a vision to diverse audiences fluidly.
Experience with a CRM, Salesforce preferred
