How to use this

If you're applying: Start with roles whose hard requirements you already meet, such as language, location and segment (K-12, Higher Ed, BizGov). Check whether a 'hybrid' title applies to you. Mirror the postings' own terms in your resume, for example Salesforce, Gainsight and Canvas.

If you're selling or recruiting: The 18 Sales & Marketing roles cover: - Canvas and Parchment selling to K-12, Higher Ed and BizGov - Renewals - Government affairs - UK and EMEA sales development - Marketing operations Revenue tooling (Salesforce, Gainsight, Clari, Outreach) and internal AI adoption in HR, recruiting and Customer Success are concrete angles. Foundry is newly forming and its Founder role is still open, so treat it as early-stage.
