Education Sales Specialist (remote, 1–4 months contract, extendable)

Are you a driven closer who's passionate about connecting families with world-class education? Do you thrive on hitting — and exceeding — targets? bina is hiring on a short-term contract basis, and we want closers who can hit the ground running from day one.

This is a 1–4 month contract engagement with a path to extension — strong performers can move onto a 12-month, renewable contract. If you can ramp fast, own a pipeline immediately, and turn interest into enrollment without a long runway, this is your move.

We're looking for an Education Sales Specialist with a proven sales track record — ideally in education or ed-tech, but standout performers from B2C industries are absolutely welcome. You'll be an achievement-focused team player and empathetic communicator who knows how to guide families from first contact to enrollment. If impact energizes you and startup pace doesn't faze you, read on.
