Account Executive, Upper Midwest

Our mission is for every child to have an exceptional experience in school.

Edia is a Series A technology startup revolutionizing K-12 education with AI-driven solutions. We develop software to improve math education, tackle chronic absenteeism, and optimize MTSS processes for school districts. Today, Edia supports 150+ districts across the country (e.g. New York City, Miami, Fulton County, Denver, etc.).

At Edia, we believe every student deserves an exceptional experience at school. As an Enterprise Account Executive, your mission is not only to hit revenue goals but also to help districts unlock real outcomes for students. In this role, you’ll be shaping the trajectory of a high-growth company while directly influencing how schools across the country deliver education.
