Company mission
To transform school districts into talent pipelines.
Role
Who you are
- The ideal candidate understands how K-12 districts actually operate, can build structure in ambiguous situations, and has the communication range to work confidently with a superintendent and a school counselor in the same week
- 3+ years of experience in implementation, customer success, project management, or a client-facing role, preferably in K-12 EdTech or education services
- Proven ability to manage multiple complex projects simultaneously across different clients, timelines, and configurations
- Exceptional written and verbal communication skills. Comfortable presenting to district leadership and writing clear, action-oriented follow-ups
- Highly organized and detail-oriented, with the ability to build consistent processes across a varied client portfolio
What the job involves
- The Implementation Manager is the primary point of contact and strategic partner for school districts from the moment they sign with SchooLinks through successful, sustained platform adoption
- You own the end-to-end implementation experience, translating district goals into actionable rollout plans, building trusted relationships with counselors, administrators, and CTE leaders, and ensuring all stakeholders get real value from the platform as quickly as possible
- This role combines project management, education/K12 consulting, and product subject-matter expertise
- Own the end-to-end implementation for a portfolio of districts; accountable for their platform onboarding, data ingestion, configuration of add-on modules, training, change management, communication, and continuous project management
- Lead kickoff calls and project alignment sessions with district stakeholders, establishing ownership structures, rollout timelines, and measurable success criteria
- Build phased implementation plans tailored to each district's purchased modules, grade levels served, and state compliance requirements (e.g., eCap, CCRI, CCMR, and other state CCR mandates)
- Maintain an implementation tracker for each district, logging project status, action items, decisions, and upcoming milestones using Gainsight and Salesforce
- Lead recurring check-in calls with district champions and executive sponsors, keeping projects on track and stakeholders aligned
- Proactively surface risks to launch timelines and escalate to the Director of Implementations as needed
Our take
SchooLinks provides a framework to help students figure out what careers might suit them - and how to get there - through a multitude of features from personality tests to financial aid calculators.
Founded in 2014, the company has grown its market position over the years, as it continues to develop and improve its features and integrations. For example, a partnership with Common App enabled students using SchoolLinks to directly apply to over 900 higher education institutions.
SchooLink's history of growth, coupled with substantial funding, has enabled it to solidify its place within the market. A brand refresh in 2025 saw the company focus on smart design that anticipates user journeys, enhancing the user experience on top of revitalizing its image.
