• Partner with Program Managers on market readiness plans, with Marketing to validate messaging, and with the Teaching & Learning Strategist to connect educator insights with instructional expertise.
• Identify and cultivate high-potential opportunities, including paid pilots, early adopters, and educator advocates, and partner with Sales on handoffs.
• Track leading indicators of market readiness and engagement, and provide regular updates to the SVP, High School and key stakeholders.
• Help build and refine a repeatable market readiness and educator engagement framework that can scale across High School products.
