Implementation Manager

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. 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.

• Proactively surface risks to launch timelines and escalate to the Director of Implementations as needed
