  • Represent SAM Labs at education conferences, district events, and local showcases.
  • Consistently meet and exceed quarterly bookings targets.

Ideal Candidate

  • 3+ years of K–12 or EdTech sales experience, preferably selling into districts or schools.
  • Strong understanding of education funding and decision-making cycles in Texas.
  • Excellent communication and presentation skills, with the ability to connect authentically with educators and administrators.
