Job description
Are you someone who sees challenges as invitations and believes your potential is limitless? As a Regional Partnership Manager at SmartLab, you'll lead the full sales cycle for K-12 education customers while also forging mission-driven partnerships with foundations, corporations, and social impact organizations. You'll learn how to navigate the intersection of education, equity, and innovation—supported by a team that values collaboration, curiosity, and courage. You'll work alongside educators, changemakers, and passionate colleagues who believe deeply in the power of hands-on, inclusive learning. And most importantly, your work will directly expand access to STEM education for students who've historically been left out of the conversation.

• Maintain accurate sales pipeline data and customer records in Salesforce
• Foster strong relationships with existing clients to drive renewals and referrals
• Represent SmartLab at regional conferences, events, and meetings to increase brand visibility and lead generation
• Identify, research, and pursue strategic partnership opportunities with corporations, foundations, and nonprofits aligned to SmartLab's mission
• Build and manage a regional portfolio of partners focused on STEM, workforce readiness, equity, and related education initiatives in collaboration with the Strategic Partnerships team
• Serve as the regional point of contact for partnership engagements, ensuring alignment with partner goals and internal strategy
• Collaborate with internal teams (e.g., marketing, product, implementation) to align deliverables and storytelling
• Travel up to 30% to meet prospects, attend conferences, and other events as needed
• Perform administrative duties, including tracking sales activities and providing regular progress reports
Education and Experience:
• Bachelor's degree in business, education, communications, or a related field
• Minimum of 3 years of successful sales experience, preferably in the K-12 or EdTech space
• At least 2 years of experience developing or managing strategic partnerships, or equivalent business development experience
• Demonstrated ability to drive results independently in a remote, field-based role
• Excellent interpersonal, communication, and relationship-building skills
• Experience using Salesforce or similar CRM
Benefits:
• Health Care Plan (Medical, Dental & Vision)
• Retirement Plan (401k, IRA)
