The Role

Your mandate is simple and non-negotiable: open new districts and expand into new schools. The Account Executive at Minga owns the full new-business cycle from first touch to signed contract and re-enters for expansion deals when an Account Manager identifies a multi-school growth opportunity.

This is a pure hunter role. You are not responsible for renewals, onboarding, or ongoing account management after close. What you are responsible for is building pipeline, running a disciplined sales process, and making sure every deal you close sets the schools & districts up for a great implementation. The handoff you write at close is your final deliverable, it matters as much as the signature.

What You’ll Do

Pipeline & Prospecting

• Build and manage a healthy pipeline of prospective districts through outbound prospecting, inbound lead follow-up, and SDR-sourced opportunities
• Research target districts, identify key stakeholders, and develop multi-threaded outreach strategies to engage champions and economic buyers
• Maintain a pipeline at target coverage ratio at all times; flag risks and gaps to your manager proactively

Discovery & Sales Process

• Run consultative discovery sessions to deeply understand each district's challenges, goals, decision process, and timeline
• Map stakeholders across the district including administrators, IT, curriculum leads and build relationships at multiple levels
• Deliver compelling product demonstrations tailored to each school and district's specific needs and use cases
• Navigate procurement, legal review, and budget cycles to close new logos on time

Expansion Deals

• Re-enter existing accounts when Account Managers surface a multi-school expansion opportunity
• Partner with the Account Manager to run the commercial process for expansion: pricing, paperwork, and close
• Ensure expansion deals are handed off cleanly back to the Account Manager at signature

Handoff Excellence

• Deliver a comprehensive written handoff to Implementation at every close: champion name and contact, economic buyer, promises made, integration requirements, calendar constraints, and any flags that could affect launch
• Participate in the sales-to-implementation handoff call to ensure a warm, informed transition
• Take handoff quality ratings from Implementation seriously, they're a core performance metric

Who You Are
