Role Overview

The Account Executive is a quota-carrying, territory-owning revenue leader responsible for driving annual bookings growth across an assigned K–12 region.

This role owns the full sales lifecycle — from outbound demand generation through district close — positioning Level Data’s solutions (ROI, Grow, Brolly) as essential systems for strategic planning, compliance management, and measurable district impact.

The Account Executive is accountable for consistent quota attainment, predictable pipeline generation, new district acquisition, account expansion, and serves as a key driver of Level Data’s national growth strategy.

This is not a transactional sale. It is a strategic, multi-stakeholder district sale.
AEs at Level Data are expected to operate as AI-native sellers, using AI tools to accelerate research, sharpen prospecting, and improve the quality and speed of every customer interaction.
