• Cultivating, deepening, and growing relationships with existing K-12 customers at the school, district, and service agency leadership level
• Working directly with senior education leaders to help them establish their goals, build and tweak data collection instruments, track progress and needs based on their data, and identify high-leverage next steps that will move the needle on their teacher development efforts
• Managing the end-to-end customer lifecycle post-sale, including strategic planning, implementation, renewal, and expansion
• Maintaining and expanding the number and range of educators and K-12 leaders who use KickUp in their day-to-day work
• Ensuring client satisfaction by developing positive relationships and channeling product feedback appropriately
• Serving as an expert on the KickUp platform, and configuring our platform to meet clients’ needs
