The role

We are looking for an experienced Customer Success Manager, Acquisition to join the Raspberry Pi Foundation's US team. Reporting to the Senior Customer Success Manager, you'll help increase the reach and impact of our educational products and programs across the US. You will be responsible for building relationships with education leaders and turning their interest in our work into meaningful partnerships. Because our resources are free, this is not a traditional sales role. You will understand what school districts are trying to achieve, show how our programs can support their goals, and help them take the steps needed to get started.

Our work with US school districts is growing, and you'll help shape how we identify and engage new school district partners and move them from initial interest to onboarding. You'll work closely with colleagues across Customer Success, Marketing, Learning, Product, and Operations. Initially, your focus will be customer acquisition, warm-lead conversion, and early-stage district engagement, with opportunities to support more of the onboarding and renewal as the role evolves.

We're looking for someone who understands how decisions get made in US school systems and enjoys turning conversations into action. You'll be a confident relationship-builder, comfortable working towards ambitious goals, and motivated by the opportunity to use your growth and partnership skills to help more educators and young people access high-quality computing and AI education.

We work hard to make sure that the Foundation is a place where everyone is supported to do the best work of their careers. We have a flexible and collaborative approach to all aspects of our work. If you're the right person for the job, we'll make it work for you, and you can be confident that you'll be joining an exceptional team of people who care about our mission and each other.

• Represent the Foundation at conferences, district meetings, and other external events, clearly communicating our mission and the value of our programs

The Raspberry Pi Foundation is an independent nonprofit with a global mission to enable young people to realize their full potential through the power of computer science and digital technologies. In the US we operate through Raspberry Pi Foundation North America which is a registered 501(c)(3) organization.

We inspire young people to become tech creators through the world's largest networks of coding clubs. We undertake original research that informs our work and which we use to advance the field of computer science education more broadly.

All of our resources and learning experiences are available for anyone to use at no cost. We are particularly focused on creating opportunities for young people who experience educational disadvantage and those who come from backgrounds traditionally underrepresented in technology industries.

Over the past decade, we have supported hundreds of thousands of educators and tens of millions of students. We have teams in six countries (India, Ireland, Kenya, South Africa, the UK and US) and partnerships with mission-aligned non-profit organisations in over 60 countries.

We are at the forefront of the global educational movement to expand access to computer science education and AI literacy. You can learn more about our work in our latest Annual Report.
