School Partnerships Specialist (Contractor — Field-Based) - ClassDojo

ClassDojo's goal is to give every child on Earth an education they love. We started by building a network that connects teachers, children, and families. ClassDojo's flagship app is the #1 communication app connecting K-8 teachers, children, and families globally, actively used in over 95% of US schools, reaching ~51 million children in ~180 countries with a team of ~200 people. We are now beginning to use this network to give kids the best learning experiences in the world.

What you'll do

As a School Partnerships Specialist, you'll be ClassDojo's on-the-ground champion in one of our priority markets: Atlanta (GA), Los Angeles (CA), Miami-Dade (FL), Louisville (KY) and New York City (NY). Your mission is to help schools build stronger family engagement and foster positive school culture — one school leader conversation, one teacher presentation, and one community at a time.

This is a field-based role for someone deeply motivated by the belief that every school deserves the tools and support to connect meaningfully with families. You'll spend your time visiting schools, sitting down with principals to understand their unique challenges, and serving as an advisor to school leaders and teachers.

• Schedule and facilitate one-on-one meetings with school leaders through email outreach, phone calls, referrals, and personal networking.
• Advise principals, assistant principals, and teachers on how ClassDojo can support goals around parent communication, community building, and positive classroom culture.
• Conduct teacher-facing presentations to introduce ClassDojo and drive teacher sign-ups.
• Attend principal association meetings, regional education events, resource fairs, and back-to-school events.
• Track and report on key activity metrics including visits booked, visits completed, teacher sign-ups generated, and school leader engagements secured.
• Collaborate with ClassDojo's mentor community to leverage introductions and accelerate relationship-building in your market.
• Serve as a trusted local voice for ClassDojo.

Requirements

• Former school principal, assistant superintendent, instructional coach, or education leader with deep, active relationships in one of the priority markets (Atlanta, Los Angeles, Miami-Dade, Louisville, New York City).

• Strong presentation skills with experience leading professional development sessions, faculty meetings, or schoolwide presentations.
• Self-starter who can independently manage outreach, scheduling, and field logistics with minimal oversight.
• Comfort with a performance-based compensation structure tied to measurable outcomes.
• Reliable transportation and willingness to travel locally to school sites 3+ days per week.
• Familiarity with the K-8 education landscape and current challenges facing school leaders and teachers.

Bonus Experience
