  • Maintain a strong understanding of Vector's offerings and services and proactively identify solutions and opportunities that address key needs.
  • Support the development of marketing strategies for partners.
  • Other job-related duties as assigned

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree preferred or equivalent combination of education and experience
  • Minimum of 2 years of experience in net new business sales (either pure new business or by upselling/growing accounts); 4 years of experience preferred
  • Ability to travel up to 25% of time
  • Experience working with higher education institutions is preferred
  • Experience using MS products and Salesforce CRM is preferred

What You Can Expect From Us:

  • Customers First - Our customers’ success is our success. They are why we are here. We work to earn the trust of our customers and always deliver on our commitments. 
  • Make a Difference - It’s not a job, it’s a calling. We have passion for our mission, for our customers, for our work, and for sharing a fulfilling experience with our fellow team members. 
  • Inclusiveness - Uniqueness is powerful. We support an environment of respect, belonging, and community that promotes a variety of perspectives and crucial conversations, leading to better outcomes. 
  • Act Now - We act with urgency. The best time to get something important done is now. We don’t wait and let perfection be the enemy of good. 
  • Curiosity - We love a good challenge. We’re scrappy, we stretch ourselves to be the best, ask questions, learn from our mistakes, and are dedicated to continually improving and growing. 
  • Ownership - We own the outcome and don’t pass the buck. The score matters. We hold ourselves and each other accountable. We treat company resources like they are our own.
