About the role

We do this by combining a product that schools and educators love with a hard-working, education-obsessed team.
Since launching in North America, we've been growing 4x year over year.
We're now looking for a Chief of Staff, North America to work closely with our leadership team as we scale.

Building the operating cadence, dashboards, and decision-making systems we need to scale
Relentless drive to deliver outcomes

This is likely a fit for someone with 5 to 10 years of experience, including time in consulting, investing, high-growth startups, strategy, operations, revenue, marketplaces, or another demanding generalist environment.
We care less about the exact path you have taken than your slope, judgment, and evidence that you have operated well in demanding environments.
Comfort with ambiguity
Ability to influence senior stakeholders

USD $120,000 to $160,000 base, depending on experience, plus equity.
We reward people who take on more and deliver more.
Interested? Let's go.
If this sounds like the right level of exciting, apply or reach out.
And if you're not sure you tick every box, but this sounds like the kind of work you're built for, reach out anyway.
Let's build something that actually matters.

There is a staffing crisis in education.
Our platform gives school leaders more control, more transparency, and better access to great educators, while helping reduce wasted spend in education.

one that grows quickly, performs exceptionally, and stays deeply accountable to schools, educators, children, and the communities we serve.
We're trying to do really well by doing good.
We're scaling fast, and the work is outrunning the org chart.
You'll work directly with the North American leadership team, owning the operating cadence, driving key cross-functional projects, and jumping on problems that do not yet have a clear owner.
It is a broad remit by design.
The business needs someone who can move fast across functions, bring structure to ambiguity, and make important work happen.
You'll report to Chris Berry, Managing Director, North America, who made a similar move from consulting into startup revenue and operations.
That means you'll get close coaching from someone who understands the transition and will push you to grow quickly.
