  • Asset Creation: Develop the marketing and sales collateral required to win in the K-12 space.
  2. Master Customer Success (50%)
  
  • Drive Adoption: Proactively partner with schools to ensure the AI becomes an essential, high-utilisation tool in their daily workflow.
  • Own the Lifecycle: Manage renewals, expansions, and cross-sells to ensure sustainable revenue growth.
  • Build Scalable Systems: Design onboarding and support processes capable of handling a high volume of accounts while maintaining a personal touch.
  • Voice of the Customer: Act as the bridge between users and the internal product team to ensure the platform remains the best-loved AI tool in education.
