About the role: 

As the Revenue Growth Manager, you’ll have the primary responsibility of identifying, managing, and closing growth opportunities with BenchPrep’s existing customer base. While you’ll be working on existing customers, this role is a sales-oriented role, not an account management role, and you’ll be reporting into the VP of Sales at BenchPrep and joining an exciting product-driven organization, providing exposure to marquee partners in the Association and Credentialing industry that have long-standing relationships with BenchPrep, care deeply about their programs, and rely on BenchPrep for product ideas and strategy.

• Develop and implement sales and marketing strategies, in partnership with our Customer Marketing team, focused on high-value products with strong probabilities of conversion leveraging market insights, product knowledge, internal team consultation, customer POVs, and industry trends.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with delivery teams (Professional Services, Product, and Technology) to communicate growth opportunities and value propositions effectively, onboard and energize support for new initiatives, and spearhead conversations.
• Utilize strategic and consultative selling techniques to position BenchPrep as a trusted advisor in the learning platform space, adapting selling approaches to diverse decision-making structures.
• Strategic/Consultative Selling: Our prospects and customers look at us as advisors on their learning platforms. You’ll be expected to navigate an org chart like none other and find the various decision makers and change your selling approach accordingly.

**Skills and experiences we value:

• 7+ years of Sales experience in a SaaS environment, EdTech experience is a plus!
• Experience working with Enterprise level sales ($100K and above) in matrixed organizations where decision making is distributed and proven experience managing and closing complex sales-cycles and selling into Associations or similar organization types where Board approval is part of the buying process.
• Self-driven with a proactive mindset to navigate ambiguity and drive results independently.
• Team-oriented with strong analytical, communication, organizational, and problem-solving skills.
• Customer-centric approach with a positive attitude and a knack for delivering exceptional customer experiences.
