Job Summary

LeadSquared is expanding its US Education vertical and is looking for a senior PreSales consultant with deep expertise in the Education sector to drive enterprise deal pursuits across Higher Education institutions, K-12 districts, EdTech platforms, and Workforce Training organizations. You will serve as the technical and solutions authority in the sales process - owning discovery, demo design, RFP responses, and proof-of-concept development - while acting as a trusted advisor to prospects and a strategic partner to the US Sales team.

This is not a generic SE role. We need someone who speaks Education - who understands enrollment funnels, student lifecycle management, and how institutions buy technology.

Key Responsibilities

- Solution Design & Demonstrations Lead tailored product demonstrations of LeadSquared's CRM and Student Lifecycle Management platform for Higher Education, K-12, and EdTech prospects.
- Solution Design & Demonstrations Design and deliver discovery-led demos that address specific institutional pain points - enrollment management, student engagement, retention, and alumni relations.
- Solution Design & Demonstrations Develop and present end-to-end solution blueprints aligned to each prospect's administrative, enrollment, and technology workflows.
- Solution Design & Demonstrations Build and deliver proof-of-concepts (POCs) for complex or competitive enterprise evaluations.
- Solution Design & Demonstrations Showcase integration capabilities with SIS platforms (Banner, Ellucian, PowerSchool), LMS tools, and other education ecosystem technologies.
- RFP Leadership & Proposal Excellence Own RFI/RFP responses for US Education prospects, including functional requirements, solution architecture, and integration approach.




- RFP Leadership & Proposal Excellence Create compelling solution documents, executive summaries, and business case narratives tailored to CIO, VP Enrollment, and Provost-level audiences.
- RFP Leadership & Proposal Excellence Develop effort estimation, implementation roadmap, and TCO analysis for enterprise Education deployments.
- RFP Leadership & Proposal Excellence Maintain and improve a library of standard RFP responses, demo scripts, and proposal templates for the US Education team.
- Education Domain Authority Serve as LeadSquared's internal subject-matter expert on US Education: enrollment management, student success, financial aid workflows, and alumni engagement.
- Education Domain Authority Maintain competitive intelligence across EdTech CRM platforms (Salesforce Education Cloud, Slate, Ellucian CRM, Element451) and develop battle cards.
- Education Domain Authority Stay current on FERPA compliance, Title IV regulations, and accreditation-related technology requirements.
- Education Domain Authority Represent LeadSquared at US Education conferences, events, and industry forums to build brand presence and generate pipeline.
- Stakeholder Engagement & Cross-Functional Collaboration Engage VP Enrollment Management, CIOs, Registrars, Student Success Directors, and Provosts as a trusted advisor, not just a vendor.




- Stakeholder Engagement & Cross-Functional Collaboration Partner with the US Sales team, Marketing, and Customer Success to build winning deal strategies and seamless customer handoffs.
- Stakeholder Engagement & Cross-Functional Collaboration Provide structured feedback to Product and Engineering on US Education market requirements and competitive gaps.
- Stakeholder Engagement & Cross-Functional Collaboration Mentor and support junior PreSales resources as the Education vertical scales.

What We're Looking For

Experience & Education

- 5-10 years of experience in PreSales, Solution Engineering, or Sales Consulting, with significant tenure supporting US Education accounts.
- Deep understanding of US Higher Education and/or K-12 institutional buying processes, IT governance, and technology procurement.
- Prior hands-on experience with EdTech CRM, SIS, or Student Lifecycle Management platforms is strongly preferred.
- Bachelor's degree required; advanced degree or prior experience working inside a US educational institution is a strong plus.
- Excellent English communication skills - written, verbal, and presentation - with proven ability to engage C-suite and VP-level academic leaders.

Technical & Domain Skills

- Robust understanding of enrollment management, student lifecycle, financial aid, and alumni engagement workflows.
- Familiarity with US Education technology ecosystem: SIS platforms (Banner, Ellucian, PowerSchool, Infinite Campus), LMS (Canvas, Blackboard, D2L), and communication tools.
