Partner Relations Manager
Partners Team – Partner Relations Manager
Full Time, Remote
Prenda is on a mission to empower learners. We help people empower learners primarily through microschools, where small groups of kids meet, often in a home, and own their education. The model is helping light a fire for kids like Mo (https://youtu.be/g4nLjauGM3U), and we want to empower many more. Imagine a world where kids grow up as empowered learners – they choose to learn, develop their gifts, and apply their passion and grit to solve the world’s big problems!
We are excited to launch a Partner Relations Team at Prenda, and this role will help pave the way for sustained, successful, and growing partnerships with educational entities (i.e., our partners!). Similar to an account management role, the Partner Relations Manager will be obsessed with delighting our partners in the areas of service, support, and compliance/accountability. Key to success will be balancing this intense customer focus with the consistent representation of Prenda’s best interests–this means you may have to say “no” from time-to-time, but should be able to do so while maintaining a consistently strong partnership.
You will deeply understand Prenda’s processes and systems, and will help establish efficient ways to meet state accountability metrics for our partners. Working closely with our operations and development teams, you will also help influence technology solutions that will drive scalable growth. By using data, you’ll establish transparency around key metrics to understand the health of the partnership and to help drive decision making.
Our company is obsessed with the mission of empowering learners, we live our core values and we embrace servant leadership.
