Founded in 2018, PlayVS was created to make esports accessible to everyone, no matter their skill level. We power amateur competitive gaming by providing the infrastructure behind it all, including the most popular titles, real-time stats, coaching tools, and on-demand support. Simply put, we make esports easy. Our mission is to create transformative opportunities for personal growth and skill development through gaming.

Collaborate closely with Customer Success to ensure smooth onboarding and post-sale satisfaction.
Partner with Sales Development, Marketing, Customer Experience, Partnerships, and Product teams to refine messaging and improve go-to-market strategies.
Serve as the voice of educators, sharing insights and feedback to help shape product and service improvements.

2+ years of full-cycle sales experience, ideally in education, edtech, SaaS, or a mission-driven organization.
Experience selling curriculum, instructional tools, or other educational programs.
Familiarity with K–12 funding cycles, decision-making processes, or procurement systems.
