Role
Who you are
- 4-8 years of work experience at a top management consulting firm or operations role leading cross-functional projects that improved business performance
- Exceptional critical thinking, analytical and problem-solving skills: you can bring structure to ambiguous challenges and turn data-driven insights into strategic recommendations
- Strong stakeholder and project management skills to effectively influence and manage expectations with senior leaders and cross-functional teams
- Demonstrated sound business judgment and strong listening skills; ability to understand the “why” and get to what matters quickly
- Ability to digest complex data and present findings in a clear manner that drives decision making and outcomes; experience with financial and strategic modeling
- Experience using AI tools in day-to-day work
- Desire to learn: this role requires a high level of intellectual curiosity and an eagerness to dive into new problems, domains, tools, and techniques
What the job involves
- Drive high-impact projects: You will lead and deliver cross-functional initiatives that support brightwheel’s strategic priorities. This could include everything from redesigning our pricing strategy or variable compensation models, to helping launch a new product, to partnering directly with front-line managers to improve our sales and onboarding funnels
- Turn insights into action: You will dive deep - into data, processes, and the customer experience - to identify the critical insights necessary to improve business performance, and translate these into action
- Partner with senior management teams: You will serve as a trusted thought partner to executives across the business. Your independent perspective will be valued
- Achieve extraordinary results: As a business, we set audacious goals. You will be responsible for bringing structure to ambiguous problems - scoping, planning, and executing work from start to finish - to drive measurable outcomes
Our take
Childcare and teaching is a profession fraught with pressures and paperwork and yet it remains relatively ill attended to by advances in tech and software. Brightwheel want to revolutionize this, focusing on facilitating the administrative and communicative relationship between schools, carers and parents or guardians.
As tech enters the classrooms there are various apps focusing on the education itself with fewer actually handling the communications for schools. Brightwheel's platform helps increase parental and teacher engagement with students everyday, while helping small education businesses save money, time, and to grow.
Brightwheel is carving out a name for itself as a service valuable for its exciting and useful new updates. It was quick to adapt to school closures too by offering distance learning capabilities and health testing. And on top of this, it also caters to childcare in lower-income areas with a freemium model. Making its a go-to platform for early education.
