Business Development Representative
Job description
About Juno
Juno helps students and families get better terms on student loans. We negotiate as a group, so lenders compete for our members' business. We also offer free 1:1 consults with student loan experts who tell families the truth, even when that means a loan isn't the right move. More than 300,000 members have joined, we've helped secure over $2B in loans, and our experts have held more than 30,000 consultations.
The Opportunity
Most families figure out how to pay for college in a few stressful weeks after the award letter arrives. They lean on whoever is in front of them: a school counselor, a college planner, a lender ad. We want Juno to be the trusted resource in that moment. That means working with the schools, districts and advisors families already rely on.
We're building a new team to make that happen. We're hiring Business Development Representatives to open the channels that put Juno in front of college-bound families nationwide.
The Role
You'll work every channel that reaches college-bound families:
- Public school districts and high schools across the country
- Independent college planners and certified college coaches
- The platforms counselors use to manage students
- National associations for schools and counselors
What You'll Do
- Prospect and cold call: research your accounts, find the right contact and pick up the phone. Email and LinkedIn support the call; they don't replace it.
- Book meetings and sign partners: the ask is simple and free. Share our resources with families, host a financial aid night or webinar, or let us train your counselors.
- Show up in person: visit top districts, schools and events when it will move a relationship forward.
- Move where the momentum is: shift between schools, planners, platforms and associations based on what's producing results.
- Hand off cleanly: coordinate webinars, financial aid nights and counselor trainings with our undergrad team, who lead them.
- Track everything: log calls, meetings and signed partners in our CRM. Share what's working and what isn't.
- Work the calendar: most families borrow between May and September, so partners need to be live before spring. You'll help us get there.
- 1-3 years in sales, business development, admissions, recruiting or another role where you've had to get people on the phone and get to yes
- Comfort with cold calling and real interest in getting better at it
- Clear, natural writing that doesn't read like a template
- The organization to manage hundreds of accounts across several channels at once without anything slipping
- Flexibility: you're comfortable switching focus and priorities week to week without losing momentum
- A bias for action: you try something, look at the results and adjust without waiting to be told
- Bonus: experience in K-12, higher ed, college admissions or financial services, or you've been through the college financing process yourself
- You're on the ground floor of a new team, with room to grow into leading a channel or a team as we scale
- The product sells itself: everything we offer is free for students, families, schools and districts
- Every partnership you sign means real families get honest help with one of the biggest financial decisions they'll make
- Base salary: $70,000 - $75,000 + variable compensation tied to performance
- Health, dental and vision
- Unlimited PTO
- Remote, with travel to districts and events as needed
