About the Role

We’re growing, and the right person can help shape what’s next.

More school districts choose TeacherLists every season, and our District Partnerships team is scaling to keep pace. As a District Partnerships Specialist, you’ll help bring new districts on board and build lasting partnerships with the ones we already serve, making back-to-school easier for the families in their communities.

You’ll manage your own multi-state territory and portfolio of districts, owning the full relationship in those states: outreach, onboarding, ongoing support, and growth. Working directly with K–12 district stakeholders, you’ll drive active adoption of TeacherLists, a School Family Media company. A district is actively engaged when it posts its school supply lists on TeacherLists and directs its families to them.

The role combines outbound outreach, relationship management, data-driven follow-up, and client success. It demands flexibility and adaptability, with responsibilities that range from straightforward day-to-day tasks to more complex strategic initiatives. It’s a great fit for an early- to mid-career sales or account management professional, or an education professional moving into EdTech.
