Join Classavo | Help Fix Higher Ed. Build Something That Matters.
Let’s be honest. Higher education is broken and students and professors both feel it. Students don't like reading outdated Textbooks, prices are sky-high, and engagement in the classroom is dropping. At Classavo, we’re changing that.
We’re building a platform where professors can adopt one of our learning materials or create, customize, and monetize their own digital learning materials and where students get access to high-quality, interactive resources at a fraction of the cost. No middlemen. No outdated formats. Just great learning, made affordable and personal.
We’re early. We’re growing. And we’re looking for someone gritty, coachable, and ambitious to help build the future of academic sales from the ground up.

Learn the Classavo product deeply so you can speak to real academic pain points

Hit and exceed weekly outreach and booking goals
Track objections, improve messaging, and be a part of the team building the playbook

🏗️ Why Now?
Higher Education is going through a second revolution after COVID-19 with AI enabled learning. This is the best time in history of ed-tech to be part of an innovative change and that's a great business. We’re a tight, mission-driven team with early traction and a vision to democratize academic publishing. Our founder-led sales strategy is getting first wins. Advisors and investors believe in the long-term value and we’re looking for builders, not placeholders and those who want to create their own destiny.
If you want a comfy, corporate gig, this probably isn’t for you. But if you want to get your hands dirty, make a real difference, and grow fast to a point you never need a resume again, we want to talk.
