Chief Learning Officer Remote Jobs in Tennessee (NOW HIRING)

About ABT

Access Business Technologies (myabt.com) is a Tier-1 Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider serving hundreds of organizations across the United States, with deep specialization in mortgage, financial services, and other regulated industries, and an active expansion into healthcare practices. For more than 20 years, ABT has helped clients build secure, compliant, and fully managed Microsoft 365 environments.

As a Tier-1 CSP, ABT sells Microsoft licenses directly, manages its own billing, and provides enterprise-grade support backed by Microsoft Premier Support and DART escalation. ABT is also the creator of the Guardian platform, which transforms Microsoft 365 from a collection of tools into a secure, monitored, and intelligent workspace through security hardening, monitoring, insights, automation, and compliance support.

ABT runs on a builder culture: high trust, minimal bureaucracy, and direct access to leadership. Our sales team operates with significant autonomy and modern, AI-powered tools that take the administrative work out of selling.

About the Role

The Account Executive (Microsoft 365 Licensing) is a quota-carrying, full-cycle sales role responsible for selling Microsoft 365 licensing, Microsoft 365 Copilot, and ABT's Guardian-based managed services to mortgage lenders, banks, credit unions, and healthcare practices. This role owns the sales process from initial outreach through close, renewal, and expansion.

You will work directly with IT leaders, executives, and business owners to assess their Microsoft 365 environment, identify security and productivity gaps, and recommend the appropriate licensing, Copilot adoption path, Guardian plans, and add-on services. You will coordinate closely with our technical lead on solution design and with our CEO on key demos. This role combines consultative selling, solution design, and relationship management in a highly autonomous environment.

We are looking for a builder: someone who treats a customer as a long relationship, not a closed deal. The compensation model rewards consistent contract value, not one-time wins, and the sales team works as a unit with technical and onboarding partners rather than as isolated closers.

What You Will Own

You will build pipeline through outbound activity, inbound leads, and partner referrals across mortgage, financial services, and healthcare verticals. You will run discovery calls to understand each customer's environment, risks, and business goals, then recommend the right Microsoft 365 licensing configuration, Microsoft 365 Copilot adoption path, Guardian plan, and add-on services. You will manage the full sales cycle from proposal through close, partner with our technical and onboarding teams on smooth customer transitions, and stay close to those customers through renewals, expansions, and upgrades.

The work you will be measured on:

• Building pipeline and closing new business across mortgage, banking, credit unions, and healthcare practices
• Owning customer relationships through close, renewal, and expansion
• Tracking pipeline, activity, and forecasts accurately in HubSpot
• Coordinating with Microsoft partner resources to support deals and incentives

What a Typical Day Looks Like

Your morning starts with a pipeline review and follow-ups on active opportunities. From there, your day might include a discovery call with a credit union evaluating Microsoft 365 Copilot, a working session with our technical lead to align solution design on a community bank deal, a renewal conversation with an existing customer, and an afternoon block to build a proposal using our AI-assisted quoting tools. You close the day logging activity in HubSpot and reading a quick update on Microsoft licensing changes, Copilot updates, or Guardian product news so you stay sharp for tomorrow's calls.

Requirements

We are open to two paths into this role. You can come from a traditional sales background, or you can be a Microsoft 365 admin or engineer who has been doing sales-adjacent work and wants to make the jump.

What you'll sell:

Microsoft 365

Microsoft 365 Copilot

Guardian Services

Path A: Sales background

You have at least 2 years of experience selling Microsoft 365, SaaS, cloud licensing, or IT-managed services in a CSP, MSP, VAR, or IT services environment. You have carried quota in a B2B sales role and have managed full sales cycles from prospecting through close.

Path B: Microsoft 365 admin or engineer pivoting to sales

You have at least 3 years administering Microsoft 365 tenants (Entra ID, Exchange, SharePoint, Teams, Defender, Purview, Intune) or equivalent engineering experience at Microsoft, a Microsoft partner, or a CSP. You are confident talking with customers about licensing, security, and adoption. You have been the person executives ask "should we buy E3 or E5?" and you can explain it confidently. You are genuinely interested in moving into a quota-carrying sales role full-time, and you are coachable on sales process. ABT provides the playbook, the deal-mechanics training, and the products to sell.

Path B has one hard requirement and one hard exclusion:

• Minimum 12 months prior sales-adjacent work required: pre-sales engineering, technical account management, customer success with quota, partner-led demos, executive licensing-renewal calls, or a similar customer-facing revenue role
• Pure backend engineering is not a fit. Path B opens the door for technical backgrounds, not for first-time sellers.

What You Need to Bring (Both Paths)

You have working knowledge of Microsoft 365 licensing (Business Premium, E3, E5, Copilot, add-ons) and CSP/NCE licensing models, or you can learn them quickly. You can explain security, compliance, and productivity concepts to non-technical buyers. You are a strong consultative seller who maps customer pain to business outcomes, you communicate clearly in writing and on calls, and you stay organized and disciplined about pipeline. You build trust with customers over the long arc of an engagement, not just to a close.

You work independently with high accountability and follow-through, you are comfortable using HubSpot and modern sales tools, and you collaborate well with technical, onboarding, and leadership team members.

Preferred (Not Required)

• Microsoft certifications (MS-900, AZ-900, or similar)
• Experience selling security, migrations, or managed services
• Experience selling into mortgage, banking, credit union, or healthcare practices
• Mortgage industry background (loan officer, processor, underwriter, compliance officer) who pivoted into technology sales

Benefits

Compensation and Financial Benefits

We offer a competitive base salary plus a commission structure that rewards the consistent contract value you build over the life of a customer relationship, not one-time wins. Roughly half of total compensation is performance-based by design. That keeps the team focused on driving real customer outcomes rather than coasting on base. The full plan is reviewed during the interview process.

• Base salary range: $60,000 to $75,000 depending on experience
• Commission rewards recurring contract value, compounding across multi-year customer relationships
• Value Catalyst splits available when an SDR or technical resource materially helps a deal close
• Target Year 1 on-target earnings: $130,000 to $160,000 (base + commission combined, assuming consistent quota attainment)
• 401(k) with employer matching

Healthcare and Wellness

100% employer-paid medical insurance for employees, plus dental and vision coverage included. Generous paid time off and paid holidays.

Work Environment

This role can be performed remotely from anywhere in the United States. High-trust, results-driven culture with real autonomy. Direct access to leadership and fast decision-making. Minimal bureaucracy and strong internal support.

Sales Enablement and Tools

Tier-1 Microsoft CSP credibility and partner resources, AI-powered quoting and proposal generation tools, strong technical and onboarding teams to support deal success, and a modern CRM and sales tooling stack.

Growth and Development

Ongoing Microsoft training and certification support, exposure to advanced Microsoft 365 security, compliance, and analytics solutions, and career growth opportunities as ABT continues to expand into healthcare and adjacent verticals.
