Padlet is building software for a good education. A good education is one that inspires curiosity, creativity, and community. Our software enables that through visual content creation and collaboration in millions of classrooms worldwide.

Our goal of reaching a billion users worldwide. While we've had great organic traction, sales is going to be key to meeting that goal. We are looking for an Account Executive to help us with that. This is a remote position, but candidates must be based in Chicago.

### Some people you‘d be working with

Gerard Searchfield: Insists that wallabies and kangaroos are different animals, artificially inflating the biodiversity of his homeland. Will notice a 1px misalignment from 18 feet away.

Aly Dalgetty: Loves animals so much that if stranded on a remote island with other people, would probably kill another human before touching the fauna for food. Helps our members while petting her dog, George.

### Special time to join

Because we're small, we move fast. And because we have tremendous traction, your work will impact millions. This combination of speed and impact is rare and quite satisfying.
