*job description*:
we are looking for a passionate educator to join our latin america team as an assessment solutions consultant supporting the expansion of gradescope's footprint in the region.
more than 110,000 instructors from the leading institutions around the world use gradescope for online and paper-to-digital grading because it helps them dramatically improve grading and feedback workflows, provides flexible assessment solutions and gives instructors, markers, and administrators valuable insights to guide student success.
gradescope also offers pedagogical freedom to assess students with open ended, and a combination of multiple choice, or ´hot area´graphs for example, it also groups answers automatically for fixed length questions or allows manual grouping of other types of questions to dramatically save evaluation time.
the assessment consultant is a sales focused role that requires deep gradescope product and sales process knowledge.
it is a multifunctional role that requires a tight collaborative work with regional sales and regional marketing team members, as well as with the training & implementation team members, to drive business development and sales using a product-led growth sales model (bottoms-up) as well as a traditional top-down sales process with higher education institutions in latin america.
the product-led growth sales model is based on closing a yearly or multi year subscriptions with an institution, and having positioned that gradescope is available campus-wide and can be used by all instructors in all departments.
it is crucial to have explained and presented a user base expansion licensing proposal to achieve subscription growth the following year (land and expand model).
given the growth sales model, the assessment consultant role requires a challenger mentality that inspires instructors and department heads as well as academic vice deans and deans to take action (at any point in the academic term) to benefit from the enhanced grading workflows in gradescope to speed up the assessment of homework, quizzes, and exams and thus speed up giving students actionable feedback in support of the teaching & learning process.

- support sales reps in the first three sales stages of discovery, pitch/demo, and stakeholder alignment by (among other activities) delivering in depth demonstrations of products to align with particular customer needs and interests.
- consolidate, document and advance your learning of use cases of gradescope and understanding of the customer's needs in order to provide relevant product demonstrations to different disciplines including computer science, math, biology, chemistry, physics, engineering, business, and humanities/arts (among others).
- analyze usage data to determine account intervention to foster institutional partnerships that guide stakeholders (instructors and administrators) to activate and use gradescope.
- monitor adoption and coordinate with account managers and training and implementation team to drive activation onboardings and workshops.
- partner with central growth and product marketing to drive initiatives directly and in collaboration with regional marketing and the sales teams.
- document and analyze results of strategic initiatives, campaigns, and sales tactics to develop internal sales playbooks and provide professional development learning opportunities to the sales team.
