Job Description
Bright by Text is seeking to hire a Partner Engagement Specialist to lead sales that will meet both scaling and revenue goals. You will be the external face and key ambassador for the Bright by Text brand and mission to external prospects in a targeted industry (e.g. education systems, safety net organizations, healthcare, local/state government offices). As an ed tech platform, you might be selling to other nonprofits, school systems, healthcare providers, and governmental agencies.
You will work closely with the Chief Growth Officer and leadership team to build relationships, identify, document, and cultivate leads, pitch on an ongoing basis, close sales, and drive revenue. You will also coordinate with the Chief Growth Officer to ensure sales and revenues are aligned with Bright by Text’s strategic plan.

You’re not deterred by rejection and embrace the challenges presented in sales with energy and drive.
