We partner with school districts across the country providing AI and Software Development curriculum, teacher training and a platform which prepares students for both entry-level jobs requiring strong AI skills and positions in emerging high-demand tech fields.

This role balances leadership and action: you'll design and execute a comprehensive customer experience and success strategy that enhances satisfaction, drives retention, and fuels sustainable growth. The right candidate pairs data-driven decision-making with deep empathy for teachers and learners, inspiring others through example. You'll guide our Customer Success Department through an exciting period of expansion—shaping the systems, processes, and culture that ensure every school and teacher feels supported, valued, and empowered to deliver exceptional learning experiences.
