• Bring product, technology, data, training, operations, and support teams together around coordinated execution and clear governance.
• Design scalable district onboarding approaches that meet each district where it is, and make sure integrations, rostering, data exchange, and security are ready to go.
• Partner with states to define success measures and reporting, and lead training and change-management strategies that keep adoption going.
• Anticipate risks and dependencies before they become issues, and find new ways to improve quality, scalability, and client satisfaction.

Who You Are

• You have a bachelor's degree in business, education, program management, technology, or a related field, or equivalent relevant experience.
• You have 8+ years of progressive experience leading complex programs, implementations, client engagements, or cross-functional initiatives, ideally in education or government.
• You have a track record of managing large-scale, multi-stakeholder programs with fixed deadlines and significant operational complexity.
• You are a confident executive-level relationship builder with strong stakeholder management skills.
• You are skilled at leading cross-functional teams and influencing outcomes without direct authority.
• You bring strong judgment, problem-solving, risk-management, and decision-making skills.
• You have experience working with State Departments of Education, school districts, EdTech, SaaS, education services, or government contracting.
• You have hands‑on experience with technology-enabled implementations, data integrations, training, adoption, and reporting.
• You are an excellent communicator who connects with both executive and operational audiences.
• You are able to travel as needed to support state and district engagements.
• You are willing to take on evolving responsibilities based on business needs.
