This role is ideal for someone who blends education experience, customer-facing SaaS experience, technical aptitude, and consultative thinking. You understand how schools and districts operate and can bring a strong lens around account health, adoption strategy, renewal readiness, and opportunities to expand client value. You are comfortable carrying revenue responsibility and being measured against retention and growth outcomes.

We are especially interested in candidates who can combine education experience with customer success, account management, implementation, client services, consultative sales, or similar SaaS experience.
