Job seekers never pay to use this board. An Apply button opens the employer's own application page; only where a company pays us for a hire who came from here does that link carry our referral code, and the fee comes from the employer, never out of the base or OTE it offers you.

Ask before you sign

Ask how much of the annual number lands in the spring buying season and how renewals are credited. Territory seats can mean heavy travel at the start and end of the school year.

Pay by kind of sales work

Each row's band comes from that kind's own open postings in this market, by the method behind every band on the board (from the 25th percentile of the midpoints of posted ranges (each counted as yearly pay, a rate per hour at 2,080 hours) to the 90th percentile of their top ends); a row needs three distinct posted ranges before it gets one. Every figure is yearly pay in US dollars; where a posting quotes a rate per hour, week or month, it is multiplied by 2,080, 52 or 12 to make a full-time year (40 hours over 52 weeks).

Frequently asked questions

What do education sales jobs pay?

The open education sales roles carry 16 separate posted pay ranges. The middle of that market is $169k–$385k/yr and its median $177k/yr, each figure the range a posting states, base or OTE as it labels it. The richest posting tops out at $450k/yr, at Anthropic. 4 of the 20 leave pay out, which usually means the number comes up at the recruiter screen.

Do I need to have been a teacher?

No, though former teachers and administrators are frequent hires and some postings prefer them for speaking the buyer's language. Most want B2B selling experience, ideally to districts or campuses, plus a bachelor's degree. Counting the requirement lines of 3 open education sales roles, 1 a bachelor's or some degree and 2 mention no degree at all.

What is selling to schools and universities like?

It runs on the school year. Districts plan in winter and spring, buy before the fiscal year turns (1 July in most states) and roll out over summer, often through RFPs, cooperative contracts and a board vote. Universities buy by department and through central IT. Many seats carry a regional territory with campus and district office visits.

Are these openings real?

Each one is read from the employer's own careers system (Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workday and the like), and Apply takes you to that company's application. Anthropic, OpenAI, SentinelOne and Zscaler are among the employers on this page. A real employer never charges you for training, a starter kit or a background check; the scam checker lists the other warning signs of a fake offer.
