About the Opportunity

This role combines corporate/industry sponsorships, program management, and educator engagement. We’re looking for a unique blend of commercial drive and customer empathy - someone who is just as comfortable building a pitch deck and securing a new corporate agreement as they are collaborating with education stakeholders to maximize student participation. You’ll work closely with industry partners, school boards, educators, and internal teams (including Customer Success and Marketing) to help create meaningful industry-connected opportunities for students, increase adoption, and strengthen program delivery.

If you are highly resourceful, comfortable working toward revenue targets, and love balancing big-picture program strategy with hands-on execution, this could be a great fit for you.

What You'll Own

• Industry & Sponsor Relations: You will cultivate and grow our network of corporate sponsors, industry organizations, and community partners. You will own outbound prospecting, pipeline management, relationship management, and annual renewals.
• Program Growth & Delivery: You will lead the continued growth and delivery of our career exploration programs. You will drive the outreach, communications, logistics, and participation efforts needed to run these initiatives successfully, while focusing on improving the participant experience and long-term scalability.
• Stakeholder Engagement & Adoption : You will manage relationships with educators and school board leads to drive high student participation. You will lead sessions and support school champions to ensure our initiatives are widely adopted and valued across classrooms.

What You'll Support

• Events & Special Projects: You will provide cross-functional coordination, event logistics, and planning support for our broader, high-impact education events and initiatives.
• Content & Resource Curation: You will assist with the organization, ongoing curation, and coordination of educational content and partner-supported materials across our digital channels to ensure they remain accurate and high-quality.
• New Programs & Continuous Improvement: You will collaborate across internal teams to help identify optimization opportunities for existing programs and bring operational structure to new, upcoming initiatives from concept to execution.
• Digital Prototyping & Scaling : You will leverage AI coding assistants and modern web tools to launch, experiment with, and maintain lightweight landing pages for our programs, allowing us to rapidly iterate without needing to lean heavily on internal engineering teams.

What an Ideal Candidate Will Have

• Full-Cycle Partnership Experience: A proven track record in partnership management, corporate fundraising, or account management where you were directly responsible for prospecting, pitching, and closing corporate sponsorships or institutional agreements.
• K-12 Education or EdTech Familiarity: Experience working within or alongside the K-12 education system, with an understanding of how to communicate effectively with school board leads, guidance counsellors, and educators, along with a genuine passion for strengthening the Canadian labour market by connecting students with emerging career pathways.
• A "Customer Success" Mindset: You understand that securing a partner or signing up a school is only half the effort; you genuinely enjoy doing the outreach, training, and support required to ensure deep, long-term program adoption.
• Target-Driven & Resourceful: Comfortable working toward measurable goals (like sponsorship revenue targets, teacher sign-ups, or student participation metrics) and independent enough to move initiatives forward in a fast-paced environment.
• Strong Operational Skills: Highly organized and able to seamlessly manage timelines, event logistics, communications, content workflows, and administrative details across multiple distinct initiatives.
• AI-Driven Builder Mindset: You love using modern digital tools to find shortcuts, experiment, and multiply your output. You have a "try, fail, learn" attitude and are comfortable or eager to learn AI tools like Claude Code, Cursor, or v0 to spin up standalone program landing pages. You don't wait for a development team to build a prototype; you figure out how to ship it yourself.

Compensation
The salary range for this role is $65,000 - $80,000 CAD, with compensation determined based on the successful candidate's experience and qualifications. This role will also be eligible for commission based on net new partnership revenue.

Our Team
Our team is full of talented and purpose-driven people who are dedicated to making an impact in the education technology industry. We are incredibly proud of the work we do. Joining our team means embracing a high-performance culture that aligns with our core values. Here’s what you can realistically expect:

Accountability : We take ownership of our work and responsibilities. You'll manage a dynamic workload and may face occasional extra hours during peak periods. Our team thrives under pressure, and we hold ourselves accountable for delivering results and meeting high standards. You won't be a good fit if you're not comfortable with a demanding work environment and fluctuating workloads.

Collaboration : We enhance each other's success through effective teamwork and shared goals. While most of our work is remote, we gather in the office 1-2 times a month. These in-person meetings are essential for fostering strong relationships and ensuring productive collaboration. You won't be a good fit if you prefer not to engage in occasional in-person meetings or if you struggle with remote teamwork.

Growth : We are dedicated to continuous improvement and professional development. You'll be presented with challenges that promote learning and growth in your role. We offer opportunities for skill-building and career advancement to support your ongoing progress. You won't be a good fit if you're not open to taking on new challenges and actively seeking personal and professional growth.

Adaptability : We operate in a fast-paced environment where priorities can shift rapidly. You'll need to adapt to changing conditions and manage multiple tasks efficiently. You'll thrive here if you excel in a dynamic setting and embrace change. You won't be a good fit if you struggle with having a variety of responsibilities and shifting priorities.

Transparency : We prioritize clear and open communication. We're upfront about our expectations and recognize that this type of work environment is not for everyone. Accurate and honest interactions are key to ensuring you have a clear understanding of your role and responsibilities. You won't be a good fit if you are uncomfortable with open communication and transparent feedback.

Community : We work with individuals who are genuinely passionate about education and our mission to support student success. Our team is committed to making a meaningful impact, and we seek those who share this dedication and enthusiasm for our mission. You won't be a good fit if you're not passionate about our mission or if you don't share our commitment to making a difference with our products and services.
