Benefits
• You'll own new-partner acquisition for CodePath's entire higher education channel. Tens of thousands of computer science students need our programs to compete in an AI-native workforce, and the limiting factor on our reach is the number of colleges we partner with. You'll grow that network by signing new campus partners, owning new-partner acquisition end to end, from pipeline to signed commitment. Every partner you sign puts CodePath courses in front of hundreds more students who'd otherwise never get them. • You'll build on a real foundation. We've closed around 50 partners, so there are lessons to draw on. From there, the motion, the pipeline, and the pitch are yours to shape and grow. That's ownership of how this channel develops, and the right person is energized by it. • Because our courses are free to institutions, there's no budget line to win. Your job is to sell value: get CS faculty, department chairs, deans, and provosts convinced that adopting CodePath for credit is worth their time and their credibility, then build enough momentum to reach a signed agreement. The urgency is real. Students need these skills now, and the campuses that move first set the standard in their region. • You don't wait for inbound. You work conferences and open doors that were closed. Expect to travel roughly once per quarter. • What you’ll own • What you’ll own • Generate your own pipeline of net-new for-credit campus partners. You self-source. • Run the full partnership cycle end to end: outreach, discovery, program demonstration, and signed agreement. • Win over CS faculty and build the internal case from faculty up through chairs, deans, and provosts. • Represent CodePath's curriculum, technical rigor, and student outcomes credibly to a technical audience. • Shape the playbook, the target account strategy, and the conference approach and then own execution. • Work across internal teams (Partnerships, Delivery, Curriculum) to move deals forward and set new partners up to succeed. • Use AI fluently across research, outreach, and forecasting • This role may be right for you if • CodePath has standardized salaries based on the position's level, no matter where you live. This role is compensated with a competitive base salary plus a performance bonus tied to your new-partner and enrollment targets, paid quarterly. Base salary is determined based on your relevant experience and skills as evaluated through our interview process. • This is a 100% remote position—work from anywhere in the U.S.!
