[Hiring] District Sales Specialist @Epic Kids Inc.

Role Description

As a District Sales Specialist, you'll serve as one of the first points of contact for schools and districts interested in Epic School Plus. The role involves:

• Leading discovery calls and product walkthroughs with principals, curriculum and literacy directors, instructional coaches, and librarians.
• Following up on larger district opportunities to help move them through the district budget cycle.
• Working closely with our operations team, which handles quotes and provisioning, as well as our sales lead for the Northeast and Midwest.

This is a part-time contract role, working 20 to 30 hours per week, with approximately:

• 25 to 30 hours a week from January through May, when districts plan budgets and approve purchases.
• 20 to 25 hours a week from June through December.

What You'll Do:

• Run discovery calls and walkthroughs (about half your time): respond quickly to schools and districts that ask for a call, learn who champions, who builds the case and who signs, and show how Epic School Plus fits their reading goals.
• Follow up on larger district opportunities (about a third of your time): re-engage open opportunities, find the decision-makers, keep stages and close dates accurate, and close out opportunities that aren't moving.
• Keep the talk track sharp: maintain our discovery script, walkthrough and objection guide, and share what you hear from educators so our marketing and product teams can act on it.
• Keep the CRM clean: log every call, contact and next step in Salesforce so the team can see what's happening in each account.

Qualifications

• Experience in B2B sales, preferably within EdTech or the K–12 education industry.
• Confidence leading video calls with school and district leaders.
• Clear, warm writing for follow-up emails and notes.
• Working knowledge of how districts buy: budget planning, board approvals and purchase orders.
• Hands-on experience using Salesforce to manage sales activities and track opportunities.
• Availability during Eastern or Central business hours, with flexibility to work more hours in spring.
• Willingness to travel approximately 10% of the time for conferences and other events.

Nice to Have

• Previous experience as a teacher or librarian.
• Familiarity with Clever and ClassLink rostering.
• Bilingual proficiency.

Compensation

$30 to $40 per hour.
