Seamlessly discuss pedagogical trends, campus IT vision, accessibility mandates, and Jobs to Be Done (JTBD) to build trust without carrying direct deal-closing responsibility. * Campus Value & Adoption Advisory: Conduct strategic health and usage reviews with existing institutional accounts to evaluate platform adoption, understand academic goals, and prescribe tailored solution strategies that improve usage across departments and uncover expansion potential. * Domain Frameworks & Product Voice: Develop practitioner-focused domain playbooks, usage frameworks, and industry point-of-view content centered on campus pain points.

You separate critiques of ideas from critiques of people. * Elevate the Craft: You hold the bar high on your own work and invest in developing those around you. You treat every project as an opportunity to learn something new. * Act with Ownership: You define success by outcomes, not activity. You flag problems early and bring a proposed path forward, not just the problem. * Clarity Over Complexity: You default to the simpler solution. Your written communication — internal or external — is direct, specific, and free of filler. How We Thrive At Panopto, we believe in simple elegance in everything we do. We do not just talk about accountability; we live it. You will be joining a collaborative team of seasoned Account Executives and Revenue leaders who are deeply embedded in the education sector.

I would combine peer-led roundtables, conference presentations, targeted executive outreach, and practical thought leadership to create credible conversations that account executives can progress. How would you engage a provost and CIO who have different priorities for a video platform initiative? I would establish a shared outcomes framework. For the provost, I would focus on learning quality, faculty enablement, student access, and academic outcomes; for the CIO, I would address integration, governance, security, scalability, and operational efficiency. I would connect both perspectives to a measurable institutional adoption plan. Describe how you would assess adoption at an existing campus customer. I would review usage patterns by department and user group, LMS workflows, content accessibility, integrations, stakeholder feedback, and the customer’s strategic academic goals. I would then identify friction points and deliver prioritized recommendations with success measures, owners, and opportunities for broader institutional expansion. How do WCAG and ADA requirements influence your conversations with higher-education buyers? They make accessibility a strategic requirement rather than a feature discussion. I would help buyers evaluate captioning, searchable content, learner access, governance, and workflows that support inclusive learning while reducing institutional risk and improving the usability of academic video content. How would you turn field feedback into useful guidance for Product and Product Marketing? I would synthesize recurring customer themes, evidence from institutional conversations, competitive patterns, and adoption barriers into concise, prioritized insights. Each recommendation would connect a documented campus problem to an audience, expected impact, supporting examples, and a proposed product or messaging response. Next step ## Apply now.
