Your mission is to help schools build stronger family engagement and foster positive school culture—one school leader conversation, one teacher presentation, and one community at a time.

Responsibilities:

• Schedule and facilitate one‑on‑one meetings with school leaders through email outreach, phone calls, referrals, and personal networking.
• Advise principals, assistant principals, and teachers on how ClassDojo can support their goals around parent communication, community building, and positive classroom culture.
• Conduct teacher‑facing presentations to introduce ClassDojo and drive teacher sign‑ups.
• Attend principal association meetings, regional education events, resource fairs, and back‑to‑school events.
• Track and report on key activity metrics including visits booked, visits completed, teacher sign‑ups generated, and school leader engagements secured.
• Collaborate with ClassDojo’s mentor community to leverage introductions and accelerate relationship‑building in your market.
• Serve as a trusted local voice for ClassDojo.

Requirements:

• Former school principal, assistant superintendent, instructional coach, or education leader with deep, active relationships in one of the priority markets.
• A genuine passion for family engagement and school culture—having seen firsthand how connecting families to what’s happening at school transforms outcomes for kids.
• Extensive personal network among school leaders and district administrators in your market—relationships where you can pick up the phone and get a meeting.
• Strong presentation skills with experience leading professional development sessions, faculty meetings, or school‑wide presentations.
• Self‑starter who can independently manage outreach, scheduling, and field logistics with minimal oversight.
• Comfort with a performance‑based compensation structure tied to measurable outcomes.
• Reliable transportation and willingness to travel locally to school sites 3+ days per week.
• Familiarity with the K‑8 education landscape, including current challenges facing school leaders and teachers.

Bonus experience:

• Recently retired principal or head of a local principal association.
• Prior experience in a Community Engagement Lead, School Partnerships, or field sales role at an education company.
• Existing familiarity with ClassDojo as a teacher, administrator, or parent.
• Connections to regional education conferences or back‑to‑school event organizers in your market.
