building something big from the ground up? If so, you might be the perfect fit
for **Kritik’s Senior Account Executive role!**

### About Kritik

Kritik is Canada’s fastest-growing EdTech company, revolutionizing education
with our peer-to-peer learning platform. We empower educators to assess
students' critical thinking skills through collaboration and critique,
creating a more engaging and impactful learning experience.

Having recently achieved **Product-Market Fit (PMF)** , Kritik is scaling
rapidly as we aim to grow our business from **$2M to $10M ARR** in the next
few years. As part of our ambitious journey, we’re expanding our footprint
across universities in the **US and Canada.**

Join our dynamic team and help shape the future of education while unlocking
your potential in a high-growth tech environment.

### What You'll Do

As a **Senior Account Executive** , you’ll play a pivotal role in driving new
revenue growth and ensuring customer success:

* **Own your territory:** Take charge of target universities across North America, adopting an account-based, bottom-up sales model.
* **Full-cycle sales:** From prospecting and product demos to closing deals, onboarding, and upselling, you’ll manage the entire sales journey.
* **Hybrid sales activities:** Combine inside sales (cold calling, email outreach, virtual demos) with outside sales (visiting campuses, in-person networking, and prospecting).
* **Customer engagement:** Build relationships with professors, empowering them to implement Kritik in their courses and expand its use across their departments.
* **Collaborate:** Partner closely with our product and customer success teams to deliver exceptional customer experiences.

### What We're Looking For

We’re seeking a results-driven sales professional with a proven track record
and a passion for education:

* **Experience:** 3+ years as an Account Executive in transactional SaaS (high volume, low value); experience in the Education sector is a bonus.
* **Proven performance:** Demonstrated ability to consistently exceed annual quotas.
* **Hunter mentality:** A self-starter who thrives on finding and closing new business but understands the value of nurturing long-term accounts.
* **Sales skills:** Exceptional communication, objection-handling, and negotiation abilities.
* **Organized and adaptable:** Strong time management skills and the ability to implement and refine processes in a fast-changing environment.
* **Tech-savvy:** Comfortable using CRM tools like HubSpot to manage high volumes of daily activities.
* **Educational background:** Bachelor’s degree or a minimum of two years in higher education.

### Why Join Kritik?

We’re not just offering a job—we’re offering a career packed with growth
opportunities and rewards:

* **Competitive compensation:** Base salary of $70K–$90K, OTE $140-160K, Commission uncapped.
* **Ownership:** Generous stock option plan—because we want you to own what you help build.
* **Career progression:** Opportunities to grow into Mid-Market and Enterprise Sales roles within just a few years.
* **Professional development:** Comprehensive training and coaching programs designed to level up your skills and accelerate your career.
* **Autonomy and impact:** We trust our team to innovate and bring new ideas to the table—no micromanaging here.
* **Culture of excellence:** Be part of a team built on honesty, transparency, creativity, and collaboration.
* **Team bonding:** Weekly activities to keep our team connected and energized.
