GiveCampus is the world's leading fundraising platform for non-profit educational institutions. Trusted by 1,300+ colleges, universities, and K-12 schools, our mission is to help advance the quality, the affordability, and the accessibility of education. We received a seed investment from Y Combinator in 2015 and have pursued a strategy of 'Sustainable Growth' ever since: achieving six consecutive years of profitability and positive cash-flow while more than quadrupling our revenue, our customer base, and our team. In 2022, we raised $50 million to accelerate the next stage of our growth.

Through The GiveCampus Social Mobility Initiative, we've donated $1 million in free fundraising support for programs that help low-income students, first-generation students, and underrepresented minorities. And in 2022 and 2023, we were named to Y Combinator's Top Companies list and the Inc. 5000 list of America's fastest-growing private companies.

While we operate at meaningful scale (we've facilitated more than $6 billion in charitable giving), we're still small relative to the commercial and social good opportunities in front of us. Every GiveCampus employee has a substantial impact on our trajectory, and we're growing to help schools achieve even greater results.

Our purpose-driven team of 90+ is located across the US: team members work from anywhere they choose. We have a beautiful 12,000sf office in Washington, DC that is available for people to use whenever they want, and we regularly organize team meet-ups, events, and retreats in various locations. We're looking to expand our team with diverse and collaborative doers who believe in our mission and the transformative power of affordable, high-quality education.

We're looking for a Business Development Representative -- an outreach all-star who knows how to hustle and loves being in front of partners. This person will creatively and persistently engage schools, qualify them, and build relationships with the goal of setting up product demos. They will have autonomy to own their pipeline, identify areas for improvement, and drive improvements across the team. ****

Responsibilities will include:

• Driving revenue growth within a territory of prospective partner schools
• Daily cold outreach via phone, email, LinkedIn, and other communication channels
• Conducting discovery calls, qualifying leads, and scheduling product demos
• Working with marketing to draft and send highly tailored communications to prospective schools
• Executing on a wide range of projects that help grow GiveCampus
• Contributing to a team culture focused on getting results and overcoming challenges to create sales success

What we are looking for:

• At least one year of professional experience in a top-of-funnel B2B sales role or 2+ years in a B2C environment (some experience using Salesforce or another CRM strongly preferred)
• Creative, strategic thinker with high emotional intelligence (EQ)
• A “Challenger” mindset -- unafraid to ask “why?” and handle objections
• Unflappable determination in the face of adversity (you will hear more nos than yesses)
• Metrics-driven; someone that likes to put up numbers and ‘win the day'
• A demonstrated record of exceeding targets
• Meticulous organization skills and the ability to think fast and reprioritize on the fly
• Passionate about education, technology, and philanthropy
• An open-minded, engaging personality and a healthy sense of humor (e.g. someone we wouldn't mind getting stuck in an airport with)

Bonus Points:

• Experience in advancement/development, alumni relations at an educational institution OR demonstrated expertise with crowdfunding, peer-to-peer fundraising, or other fundraising activities
• Success in selling into the education market
