About Avela
The buyers on Avela's list are public bodies that admit students: school districts, charter schools and charter management organizations, and cities, counties and states running early childhood programs or a one-stop community enrollment hub, all buying a modular suite for school search, applications, lotteries and student assignment, registration and payments, co-founded by Nobel laureate Joshua Angrist. Its go-to-market team is cut by type of buyer rather than by deal size, and five of the six openings are partnerships managers who each own a sector end to end: building target lists in LinkedIn, RocketReach and Clay, cold calling, working conferences, demoing, quoting, negotiating and contracting. For those seats Avela recruits from the buyer's side of the table (former superintendents and board members for the district seat, former charter network leaders and administrators for the three charter seats, former mayors, county executives and city program heads for the municipal seat) and treats sales experience as a plus, not a requirement. The sixth opening is a conventional edtech account executive reporting to the Sales Lead, splitting the job 60/30/10 between new SMB business with districts, charters and local government, renewals of existing accounts, and follow-up on marketing leads at 10 to 15 trade shows a year, and it requires four years of K-12 edtech selling and three on quota. The company works semi-remote around hubs in San Francisco and Boston: three seats sit in the Bay Area, one in Greater Boston, one in either city and one charter seat is open to remote candidates.
