Engagement Manager - RethinkEd
Founded in 2007, Rethink Ed, a division of Rethink First, is an educational technology company headquartered in New York City that is transforming the way teachers and students learn, grow, develop, and succeed—in school and in life. Rethink Ed helps school districts end the struggle to create healthy, positive cultures of learning to bring out the best in administrators, teachers, students, and parents. With evidence-based learning solutions, technology-based tools and resources, and on-demand video instruction created by a team of educational and clinical experts, Rethink Ed’s four platforms (social and emotional learning for all learners; training and professional development for all staff; step-by-step behavior interventions; and educator- empowering skills curriculum) are changing the world one student, one teacher, one classroom at a time.
The Engagement Manager will be the main customer contact and will support the implementation process across school districts with enrollment <5000. Responsibilities include working with district leaders and providing professional development to educators to ensure fidelity of platform implementation. Strong focus is also placed on the end-user providing constant engagement to encourage utilization to produce outputs and outcomes through the Rethink platform.
