We put people first, drive innovation, and do good in the community that we live and work in.
Join us at Grand Canyon Education and begin your career helping Grand Canyon University students succeed! We are looking for a motivated Account Executive to oversee the Enid, OK territory in this unique military community-based opportunity.

Employees must reside within 50 miles of their assigned territory.
New hire training will be held in-person at our Phoenix, AZ campus.
Grand Canyon Education offers a generous benefits package, including 100% tuition-free education for employees through the Master's degree program level and 75% coverage at the Doctorate degree program level. In addition, 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 3+ 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 really 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.
Now is the time to bring your talent to Grand Canyon Education, where you’ll have the opportunity to play an integral role in providing Grand Canyon University students the roadmap for success from application through to completion of the first few classes. Here’s a taste of how you’ll make your mark as an Account Executive with us.
As an Account Executive, a typical week might include the following:
- Strategy and execution. You’ll be consistently identifying and implementing event/activity plans for your territory, building awareness of our online academic programs for education, healthcare and business and drive inquiry generation. You’ll shape high impact partnerships for your territory and execute your daily work through informational presentations, calls and emails, iterating as needed to maximize value.
- Partner and influencer. Through a variety of mediums, you will use your passion for serving others to provide exceptional counseling to prospective students, their families and partners on their journey to enrollment. Whether in-person, over the phone or via email, you will champion the GCE mission, promoting Grand Canyon University student success and institutional growth.
- Heart and Hustle. This is a community-based role with ambitious targets!

The role might be right for you if you have:
- Bachelor’s degree. No delinquent or in default on a 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 show that not only have you honed your time management skills, you also know how to prioritize competing priorities even while travelling.
- Clear communication skills. You can explain just about anything to anyone and you’re comfortable communicating in person, in writing and on the phone. You’ll also need to have well developed listening skills.
- Self-motivation and drive to succeed. You volunteer for new challenges without waiting to be asked. You’re going to take ownership of the time you spend with Grand Canyon University students and truly make a difference.
- High emotional intelligence. In this role, you’ll be coaching a diverse range of Grand Canyon University students, each with unique circumstances. You’ll also have partner relationships to develop and nurture. Ability to demonstrate empathy is key to success in this role.
- A valid driver's license, reliable transportation and a flexible schedule. Since this role requires extensive travel in your territory, you’ll need a clean driving record and ability to use your personal vehicle. Some events might require evening and/or weekend availability.
- Computer literacy. We rely on a number of digital tools to help you execute your work and keep you accountable. Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite is required.
Bonus points if you have:

Counselor Jobs in Oklahoma: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a counselor in Oklahoma?
Earning a master's degree in counseling or a related field is the foundational step, followed by supervised post-graduate hours and passing a national exam such as the NCE or NCMHCE. The Oklahoma State Board of Behavioral Health Licensure oversees licensure for professional counselors, issuing the LPC credential after requirements are met. Substance use counselors pursue the LADC through the same board. School counselors obtain certification through the Oklahoma State Department of Education.
Which companies hire counselors in Oklahoma?
Oklahoma counselor roles are posted by WEOKIE Federal Credit Union, Brave Health, and University of Oklahoma and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Oklahoma's large tribal nations, state-run behavioral health agencies, and Veterans Affairs facilities are among the most consistent long-term employers of licensed counselors across the state.
Which Oklahoma cities have the most counselor jobs?
Oklahoma City, Norman, and Tulsa account for the largest share of counselor openings in Oklahoma. Oklahoma City leads because of its concentration of hospital systems, state agency headquarters, and VA facilities, while Tulsa's strong behavioral health network and Norman's proximity to the University of Oklahoma and affiliated clinical training sites each generate reliable demand.
Are there remote counselor jobs in Oklahoma?
Yes, but they are less common than in purely desk-based fields because counseling often involves in-person therapeutic relationships and on-site supervision requirements. About 17% of counselor openings tied to Oklahoma are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, with telehealth roles in outpatient behavioral health and employee assistance programs representing the most frequently remote positions.
How can I get hired as a counselor in Oklahoma with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying for a counselor intern or counselor associate role while completing supervised post-graduate hours toward full licensure. Large Oklahoma behavioral health providers such as Red Rock Behavioral Health and Family and Children's Services in Tulsa regularly bring on provisionally licensed candidates. Case manager and mental health technician roles at inpatient facilities offer a lateral entry point, and obtaining your provisional LPC credential from the Oklahoma State Board of Behavioral Health Licensure before applying gives your application a clear edge.
Where can I find and apply to counselor jobs in Oklahoma?
You can find and apply to counselor jobs in Oklahoma on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings across the state. Search the roles that match your license level and specialty, then apply directly to whichever positions fit your background and location.
