12twentyRemote

12twenty is the leading platform for employers to connect with elite early career professionals.


Our community includes millions of students, recent graduates, and alumni from top business schools, law schools, and universities around the world. We take pride connecting our community of candidates with recruiters from top companies across industries. Come join our fast growing organization! We are growing quickly here at 12twenty and it's our priority to hire A+ players to join us on our mission of rapid expansion and world domination! We are looking for highly-motivated sales development reps to work hand-in-hand with leadership to grow our customer base in the University market.
