About Knowt
Knowt is an AI-powered learning platform used by millions of students and teachers. We help students study smarter with flashcards, practice tests, and AI tutoring, and we give teachers tools that save them hours every week. Today we partner with schools and districts across the country to bring Knowt into classrooms at scale.
The Role
We're hiring our Customer Success Manager to own the relationship with the schools and districts that partner with Knowt. You'll be the person teachers and administrators call when they want to get more out of Knowt, and the person who makes sure every partner renews and grows. This is a high-impact role on a small team: you'll shape how we onboard, support, and expand our district customers.
What You'll Do
Own a book of school and district accounts from kickoff through renewal

Lead onboarding: rostering (ClassLink, Clever), admin setup, and teacher training sessions

Drive adoption by tracking usage, spotting at-risk accounts early, and running check-ins with admins and teacher leads

Manage renewals and identify expansion opportunities across schools and districts

Build usage reports and quarterly business reviews that show partners the impact Knowt is having

Partner with Sales on handoffs and with Product to turn customer feedback into roadmap priorities

Create help docs, training materials, and playbooks that scale as we grow

What We're Looking For
2 to 4 years of experience in customer success, account management, or a similar client-facing role

Experience working with K-12 schools or districts, or a background in teaching

Comfort running presentations and trainings for teachers and administrators

Strong organizational skills and the ability to juggle many accounts at once

Clear, warm, and direct communication over email, phone, and video

A data-minded approach to tracking account health and adoption

Nice to Have
Experience with edtech rostering and SSO tools (ClassLink, Clever, Google Classroom)

Familiarity with a CRM or CS platform (HubSpot, Salesforce, or similar)

Experience owning renewals or upsell targets

Compensation and Details
$70,000 to $80,000 base salary plus 5-7% commission

Full-time, fully remote (US-based)

Join an early team where your work directly shapes how millions of students learn
