Strategic Account Manager

Strategic Account Manager

PlayOn! Sports is growing its digital ticketing business beyond athletics, and our Strategic Account Managers are on the front lines of that growth. This role is a great opportunity for early-career sales professionals to join a mission-driven, fast-paced team and make a direct impact by helping schools modernize ticketing for events like theatre, prom, homecoming, and more.

As a Strategic Account Manager, you'll own a territory of school and district accounts and be responsible for driving adoption of our digital ticketing solution for non-athletic events. You'll prospect, run demos, close deals, and ensure schools are set up for success. You'll work closely with peers and leadership to refine your approach, build market expertise, and help grow one of the company's most strategic initiatives.

The ideal candidate is a motivated self-starter who's eager to learn, loves talking to customers, and is excited to build something new. You don't need deep EdTech experience, just a growth mindset, strong communication skills, and a desire to win as part of a team.

The outcomes you'll deliver :

• Expand digital ticketing adoption by meeting or exceeding sales goals within your assigned territory.
• Increase school satisfaction and repeat usage by helping accounts onboard successfully and understand best practices.
