• Systematize success. Design and implement scalable, repeatable processes to support and retain a high volume of accounts – while providing tailored support where needed.
• Use data to spot risks, uncover opportunities, and continuously refine your approach.
• Partner with internal teams to improve the customer experience and advocate for users’ needs and feedback.
• Lay the foundations for a world-class success function inside a fast-moving startup.

Requirements

• You’re a strong communicator who can engage both frontline teachers and senior administrators with confidence.
• You’re empathetic, curious, and passionate about making a difference for educators.
• You’re a systems thinker – able to design scalable processes while staying close to the details.
• You’re data-savvy and outcomes-driven. You see the story behind the numbers.
• You’re a self-starter who thrives in ambiguity, adapts quickly, and gets things done.
• You’re collaborative and low-ego, excited to contribute to a supportive and high-performing team.

• Have a background in teaching or school leadership – you’ll bring credibility and a deep understanding of educator needs.
• Have worked in an early-stage edtech startup and built playbooks from the ground up.

Benefits

• $25–40k salary depending on experience (higher for the right person).
• Fully remote role with flexibility to work from anywhere – must be available during core US timezones.
