About this role
CodePath is seeking an Account Executive to own new-partner acquisition for its higher education channel in a remote capacity across the United States. This full-time position is ideal for an experienced sales professional who thrives on scaling early-stage motions and expanding computer science opportunities for college students.
Role Overview
As the Account Executive for Higher Education, the chosen professional takes charge of growing the university network from pipeline development to final signed commitments. Reporting directly to the Head of Higher Education, this role requires building momentum with academic decision-makers to adopt free computer science curricula for credit. Because institutions do not need a budget line to adopt these programs, success depends on selling value to faculty, department chairs, deans, and provosts. The position demands proactive outbound prospecting, attending industry conferences approximately once per quarter, and using artificial intelligence fluently to streamline research, outreach, and forecasting.
