Padlet is building software for a good education. A good education is one that inspires curiosity, creativity, and community. Our software enables that through visual content creation and collaboration in millions of classrooms worldwide.

Our goal of reaching a billion users worldwide. While we've had great organic traction, sales is going to be key to meeting that goal. We are looking for an Account Executive to help us with that. This is a remote position, but candidates must be based in Japan (ideally Tokyo or Osaka).

Responsibilities

Sell.

Be very good at it.

Qualifications

You like working hard.

You are honest.

You are humble.

You have a track record of crushing it as an Account Executive.

You have experience selling to schools or Japan offices of education.

Bonus: you have a good sense of humor.

About Padlet

Vision : Every child in the world will grow up with Mickey Mouse and Padlet.

Product : We are making the default way of collecting and sharing thoughts on the Internet. People love the product.

Impact : We have 40 million users, making Padlet one of the most used apps on the planet.

Money : We are venture backed AND fiscally responsible. We are built to last one hundred years.

Badassery : We are only 70 odd people. That's over half a million active users per person.

Some people you‘d be working with

Gerard Searchfield : Insists that wallabies and kangaroos are different animals, artificially inflating the biodiversity of his homeland. Will notice a 1px misalignment from 18 feet away.

Aly Dalgetty : Loves animals so much that if stranded on a remote island with other people, would probably kill another human before touching the fauna for food. Helps our members while petting her dog, George.

Special time to join

Because we're small, we move fast. And because we have tremendous traction, your work will impact millions. This combination of speed and impact is rare and quite satisfying.
