About the role

Home Campus is the operating system for high school athletic departments. Athletic directors, coaches, parents and students use our platform for eligibility verification, athletic clearance, coaches credentialing, injury tracking, athletic websites, donations and college recruiting.

What they're looking for

  • You know this world. Direct experience in high school athletics administration or the associations that govern it, or a track record selling into them. Your network is central to the job
  • You build relationships rather than close transactions. Association decisions are made over six to eighteen months by committees, boards and executive directors
  • You are comfortable with long consultative cycles, including quarters where the pipeline advances and nothing closes
  • You can run a competitive RFP from first requirement to final submission
  • Strong communication. Credible with an athletic director and with an executive director or board, and clear in writing
  • You want to build a function from the ground up and are comfortable defining the process, the materials and the cadence yourself
