Account Executive- Online Division- Grand Canyon University
Grand Canyon Education, Inc., Houston, TX, United States
Job Overview
Grand Canyon Education (GCE) is a rapidly growing educational service company that has long been an industry leader in providing educational, operational and technological support services to the post‑secondary education sector. Formerly part of Grand Canyon University (GCU), GCE still works closely with GCU to benefit thousands of students, families and the local inner‑city community. We put people first, drive innovation, and do good in the community that we live and work in.
Location & Compensation We are looking for a motivated Account Executive to oversee the Houston, TX territory in this unique community‑based opportunity. Starting salary is $75,000 per year with an earning potential of a six‑figure income after five years of successful service as an Account Executive / University Development Counselor.
Must reside within 30 miles of South Houston.

Benefits Grand Canyon Education offers a generous benefits package, including 100% tuition‑free education for employees through the Master’s level and 75% coverage at the Doctorate level. An employee’s spouse, children and dependents are also offered generous tuition benefits.
Who You Are You’re a goal‑getter who is passionate about the power of education. Over the past three years, you’ve demonstrated success in outside business development, consultative sales or account management. You know it’s not all about achieving your goals. While that does get you excited, what you thrive on is using your exceptional communication and coaching skills to help non‑traditional Grand Canyon University students level up in their lives through quality education.
Responsibilities
Strategy and execution.
Consistently identify and implement event/activity plans for your territory, build awareness of our online academic programs for education, healthcare and business, and drive inquiry generation. Shape high‑impact partnerships and execute daily work through informational presentations, calls and emails, iterating as needed to maximize value.
Partner and influencer.
Use your passion for serving others to provide exceptional counseling to prospective students, their families and partners. Whether in‑person, over the phone or via email, champion the GCE mission, promoting Grand Canyon University student success and institutional growth.
Heart and hustle.
This is a remote role with ambitious targets. Work independently, using out‑of‑the‑box critical‑thinking skills to support prospective Grand Canyon University students through the admissions process, guiding them toward a successful online learning experience.
Qualifications
A bachelor’s degree is required. No delinquent or defaulted federal student loan as verified in your credit report. If in a rehabilitation program, your credit report must reflect that you are current, not delinquent, on your payments.
Outstanding time‑management skills. In this role, you’ll be wearing many hats, so you’ll need to demonstrate that you can prioritize competing priorities even while travelling.
Clear communication skills. Explain just about anything to anyone and be comfortable communicating in person, in writing and on the phone. Good listening skills are required.
Self‑motivation and drive to succeed. Volunteer for new challenges without waiting to be asked. Take ownership of the time you spend with Grand Canyon University students and make a difference.
High emotional intelligence. Coach a diverse range of Grand Canyon University students, each with unique circumstances. Demonstrate empathy.
A valid driver’s license, reliable transportation and a flexible schedule. Extensively travel in your territory, clean driving record, willing to use your personal vehicle, available for evening and/or weekend events.
