ClassDojo's goal is to give every child on Earth an education they love.

We started by building a powerful network for communication. ClassDojo’s flagship app is the #1 communication app connecting K-12 teachers, children, and families globally. Teachers use it to share what’s happening throughout the day through photos, videos, and messages that make parents feel like they’re there. It’s actively used in over 95% of US schools, reaching over 45 million children in 180 countries, with a team of just around 200 people [1]. We are now beginning to use this network to give kids the best learning experiences in the world, far beyond those a standard school can provide.

We hire for talent density. Our team comprises the most talented, entrepreneurial, and innovative teammates from around the world, with experience in education and large scale consumer internet companies, including Instagram, Netflix, Dropbox, Stripe, Uber, Y Combinator, and more. We’re building a company where the most talented people want to work. We believe you’ll do the best work of your life here—and you’ll pioneer the future of education, too.

What you’ll do:

As a District Onboarding Manager on the Success and Implementation team, your goal is to deliver projects on time, error-free, and in alignment with our district partners’ vision. As district partners sign on to work with ClassDojo, you’ll be the first point of contact with district leaders to help them bring ClassDojo at scale across all of their schools.

As an onboarding manager you understand how to take high level district goals, time frames, and distinct needs and translate them into project timelines, professional development recommendations, and communication plans to support mid-size and large districts. You track progress utilizing a combination of timelines and data to determine next steps and intervention plans to ensure a smooth roll-out and set the stage for high levels of product adoption. You are reliable, highly detail oriented, an excellent communicator, and know how to keep the trains running on schedule across teams.

You’ll work with our district partners who have the largest bulk of onboardings and roll-outs before the start of the new school year (~August).
