The Opportunity
EQL Tech are delighted to be working with a private equity backed edtech organization who are seeking an experienced EdTech Sales Consultant to lead a short term, high impact commercial engagement.
The organization provides mission critical software used by school districts to manage complex operational processes. It is entering a focused equity-backed growth phase and requires a clear, scalable sales playbook that can be deployed immediately and refined over time.
This engagement is designed for a senior sales or revenue professional with a strong understanding of education or public sector buying environments.
The consultant will be responsible for designing and delivering a complete sales playbook that defines how the organisation positions itself, engages buyers, runs discovery, demonstrates value, and competes effectively.
This is a build role rather than a quota carrying position. Success will be measured by clarity, usability, and impact of the materials produced.

Call scripts for outbound, inbound, discovery, and late stage conversations
Competitive battle cards covering incumbents and alternatives
Objection handling frameworks and proof points
Recommended sales stages, qualification criteria, and deal progression logic
Documentation designed for immediate use by internal sales teams
You will work closely with executive leadership, product, and customer facing teams to ensure commercial messaging reflects real customer value and product capability.
Requirements
This role suits someone who has built or rebuilt sales motions in complex education or public sector environments.
You will bring:
Proven experience in EdTech or public sector SaaS sales or sales enablement
Demonstrated success creating sales playbooks or go to market frameworks
Strong understanding of school district decision making and procurement cycles
Ability to translate complex products into clear, persuasive commercial narratives
Confidence working directly with senior leadership
A delivery focused mindset with pace and precision
Experience working with private equity backed or growth stage SaaS organisations is highly advantageous.
Benefits
Fully remote role within the United States
Highly competitive compensation aligned to seniority and impact
Clear deliverables and access to decision makers from the outset
