• Track outreach and results to refine strategies.
What We’re Looking For
• Strong communication skills and a professional demeanor.
• Self-motivated and able to work independently.
• Prior experience in sales, education, or customer outreach is a plus (but not required).
• Interest in STEM, education, or startups is a big bonus.
• Must be organized and persistent — this role is about building relationships over time.
Why Join Us
• Flexible, part-time hours — great for students or recent grads looking for sales experience.
• Base pay plus commission on each new school rental agreement.
• Be part of a growing educational startup with real impact in engineering education.
