Enterprise Sales Director, Workplace Scholarships (Remote) - $400,000/year USD

Traditional enterprise sales roles focus on winning a share of existing budgets. This role requires you to establish an entirely new category.

Workplace Scholarships is creating a novel employer channel that allows employees to support K-12 scholarships via payroll giving, leveraging a new federal tax credit. Employers face no requirement to allocate new benefits budgets or displace current vendors. Your mission is to educate senior leaders in HR, Total Rewards, and CSR, establish trust in an untested model, and transform enterprise employers into launch partners ahead of the 2027 tax season.

As the inaugural enterprise seller for this channel, you'll develop pipeline from the ground up, gain access to Fortune-scale organizations, and guide intricate buying committees spanning HR, Finance, Legal, Payroll, and CSR functions. Each engagement will inform not just your own pipeline, but the broader messaging strategy, customer profile definition, and market approach for the organization.

This position suits someone who thrives in building from zero. There is no inherited demand flow or established sales framework. You will create both. If you have a track record selling voluntary benefits, workplace giving platforms, or payroll-integrated solutions to enterprise employers and seek a role with substantial social impact, we want to speak with you.

What You Will Be Doing

• Develop outbound pipelines targeting Heads of HR, Total Rewards, Benefits, and CSR at enterprise organizations employing 10,000 or more people.
• Manage sophisticated, consultative sales processes involving HR, Finance, Legal, Payroll, and executive decision-makers to implement the Workplace Scholarships program.
• Support employers through inquiries regarding payroll deduction, withholding mechanics, ERISA compliance, multi-state eligibility, and program rollout while appropriately routing tax-related questions to professional advisors.
• Transition signed employer agreements into live program launches with employee enrollments completed before the 2027 tax season.
• Document and analyze structured market insights from buyer interactions to improve messaging, refine the ideal customer profile, and optimize the enterprise go-to-market strategy.
  
  

What You Won’t Be Doing

• Depending on inbound lead generation or working from a proven sales playbook.
• Selling yet another HR platform that competes for existing employer budget allocation.
• Overseeing employee support functions, payroll administration, or post-launch account management.
• Transferring opportunities to a different team for closing.
• Leading a sales organization rather than personally generating and closing enterprise deals.
