The Role

Are you a current or former principal, assistant principal or ELA or curriculum leader at the district level who wants to keep making a difference in literacy, from a new angle? Apply to join our growing team of former educators, literacy experts, and product innovators committed to changing what's possible in early literacy.

What You'll Do

• Own the full sales cycle from first conversation through signed agreement
• Build strong, trusted relationships with school and district leaders
• Actively generate new opportunities by identifying leads, making outreach, and developing a robust pipeline
• Deeply understand local literacy priorities, funding sources, and district goals to position Just Right Reader as the right solution

• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills
• Ability to work independently in a fast-paced, remote environment and contribute to a collaborative team
• Comfort with storytelling, strategy, and working with data to guide decisions
