About Us
WorldEd is an established K-12 school and education provider with an international footprint built through long-term partnerships with schools and educational institutions. We support partners with high-quality learning solutions and a delivery model designed for real implementation. As we grow, we’re strengthening our commercial operation with people who execute reliably, building partnerships that are commercially sound and operationally deliverable.
Job Overview
You’ll run end-to-end consultative B2B sales with schools and educational institutions, including outbound prospecting, discovery, proposal, negotiation, and contract signature. You’ll be responsible for closing deals that can be delivered—confirming feasibility and aligning with Academic, Growth, and Customer Success. This role is for someone who takes full ownership: builds pipeline proactively, resolves issues, and steps in when urgent partner or contract matters threaten signature, delivery, or retention.
Commercial Coverage (important): Occasionally, urgent partner or contract matters may arise outside standard working hours (including during breaks). When this happens, you are expected to be reachable, respond promptly, and help drive resolution, especially when a deal is at signature stage or a partner issue risks delivery or retention. This is occasional, not constant, but we take responsibility when something critical must be handled.
Key Responsibilities
* Own the full-cycle consultative sales process with schools, school groups, and strategic partners—from prospecting to signed contract.
* Prospect and qualify opportunities (outbound + inbound) aligned to the ICP and sales strategy.
* Lead structured discovery to understand needs, constraints, stakeholders, and decision process.
* Build tailored proposals that define scope, assumptions, success criteria, pricing, and timelines.
* Negotiate and close within commercial policy;
escalate exceptions when needed.
* Manage pipeline, forecasting, and activity cadence with strong CRM hygiene.
* Align deals with Academic, Product, and Customer Success to ensure feasibility and smooth implementation.
* Share market insights to improve messaging, playbooks, collateral, and go-to-market decisions.
Qualifications
* 3+ years in B2B consultative sales (preferably K–12, EdTech, services, or recurring revenue).
* Proven ability to run multi-stakeholder, longer sales cycles and consistently hit targets.
* Strong discovery, proposal, negotiation, and closing skills (including objection handling).
* Highly organized: pipeline management, follow-up discipline, and accurate forecasting.
* Clear, influential communication with both operational and executive stakeholders.
* Strong cross-functional collaboration and good judgment around risks/feasibility.
* Comfortable using CRM tools (HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, etc.) with strong data hygiene.
* Fluent English required;
willing to travel.
This role is not for you if… (important)
* ... you rely on heavy inbound only or avoid outbound prospecting.
* ... you are comfortable closing deals without confirming delivery feasibility.
* … you prefer to “hand off” problems instead of owning them through to resolution.
* … you do only what is explicitly assigned and avoid going the extra mile.
* … you expect strict boundaries regardless of context and won’t step in when something urgent needs to be resolved.
What We Offer
* Full scholarship for direct dependents in WorldEd's American programs.
* Total Pass wellness and quality of life benefit.
* Hybrid work model: 3+ days on-site in São Paulo (Zona Sul);
availability for nationwide travel (evenings/weekends as needed).
* Parking space at our headquarters.
* Competitive fixed monthly amount + variable commission, aligned with experience.
If you're passionate about helping students succeed through high-quality education, disciplined about pipeline management, strong in discovery and negotiation, and committed to selling deals that can be delivered well, we want to hear from you.
