By making them the protagonist of their own compelling learning journey, Dreamscape Learn unlocks students' inherent motivation to show up and work hard to master STEM and other challenging subjects.

We are seeking an exceptional enterprise sales leader to spearhead Dreamscape Learn's K12 direct sales efforts in North America. This is a strategic sales role focused on establishing foundational school district partnerships, expanding market awareness of the Company's story-driven, VR-based learning experiences, and helping define the company's long-term K12 growth trajectory.

The ideal candidate is a proven top performer with a demonstrated history of exceeding quotas selling innovative, big-ticket edtech solutions to senior district leadership, including Superintendents, Chief Academic Officers, Curriculum Leaders, and Boards of Education. This goal-driven individual must possess the executive presence, strategic mindset, and consultative selling capabilities required to build broad stakeholder alignment and navigate complex institutional procurement processes.

This role is ideal for entrepreneurial sales leaders who thrive in fast-moving, high-expectation environments and excel at opening new markets with cutting-edge edtech solutions.  Along with selling, this position entails working with internal colleagues to execute demand creation campaigns and attending industry events to evangelize Dreamscape Learn's ground-breaking approach to story-driven, VR-enabled immersive learning.

  • Build and manage an ever-growing pipeline of qualified K12 sales opportunities to consistently attain revenue growth and market expansion objectives
  • Collaborate with internal Marketing and Sales colleagues to create and execute successful lead generation campaigns and events to fill sales funnel
  • Work with executive leadership to help shape Dreamscape Learn's K12 growth strategy, market positioning, and long-term expansion initiatives that strengthen Dreamscape Learn's national presence and category leadership
  • Provide executive leadership with market intelligence, customer insights, and strategic feedback that help inform product direction, go-to-market evolution, and long-term company strategy

Requirements

  • 10+ years of sustained, proven success selling high-value innovative educational technology solutions to senior K12 leadership
  • Proven ability to evangelize and sell six-figure category-creating education solutions into complex decision-making and procurement environments
  • Exceptional executive communication, strategic influence, and relationship-building capabilities
  • Expert qualification and territory management skills
  • Strong entrepreneurial mindset with the ability to operate effectively in ambiguity and help build scalable market strategies
  • Experience working within high-growth, innovative, or category-defining organizations
  • Deep understanding of the evolving K12 landscape, including instructional innovation, digital transformation, and emerging learning models
  • Bachelor's degree required

Benefits

    • Compensation: $200,000 base salary + commission  
    • Employee Stock Option Plan (ESOP) 
    • Comprehensive Medical, Dental, & Vision Plans 
    • Employee Assistance Program
