Sales Account Executive, Partnerships & Admissions

Job Summary:

Join the team redefining how marketing girlies accelerate their career growth! At Sky Society, you'll oversee the full sales cycle of the thousands of inbound applications we get for our flagship Marketing Career Accelerator for women. 

In this role, you'll be the first point of contact for women applying to the Accelerator. You'll meet with prospective students on admissions Zoom video calls, build genuine relationships, and guide them toward enrolling in the Accelerator.

• Consistently hit or exceed enrollment goals while maintaining a high standard of applicant experience
• Keep organized and detailed records of all interactions in the admissions pipeline/CRM
