About the job

ABOUT UNBOUNDED

At UnboundEd, we are a passionate collective of former educators, school leaders, curriculum developers, and educational specialists dedicated to ensuring that every student flourishes in their academic journey.

Our unwavering commitment to every learner drives our mission. We collaborate closely with teachers, coaches, principals, and district administrators to provide all students with access to engaging, affirming, and meaningful instruction, encapsulated in our GLEAM™ approach. By fostering the essential mindsets, knowledge, and skills for transformative teaching and learning, we aim to disrupt historical achievement trends, enabling all children to thrive.

In 2023, UnboundEd merged with Pivot Learning and CORE Learning to enhance our services and drive critical changes in instructional practices, particularly in high-needs schools.

ROLE SUMMARY

Reporting directly to the Vice President of Strategic Partnerships, the Director of Strategic Partnerships is a senior leader responsible for UnboundEd’s strategic market initiatives across a targeted portfolio of states and Education Service Agencies (ESAs).

This position emphasizes fostering long-term, high-impact partnerships that expand UnboundEd’s instructional initiatives via state agencies, ESAs, and trusted intermediaries. The Director will be responsible for achieving significant annual bookings, influencing key decision-makers, and aligning state educational priorities with UnboundEd’s offerings and insights.

This role focuses on strategic business development rather than transactional sales. Success in this position demands a profound understanding of educational systems, disciplined execution, and the capability to translate UnboundEd’s instructional philosophy (including GLEAM®) into fundable, multi-year partnerships.

As a fully remote organization, this exempt position can be based anywhere in the United States. Our core business hours require staff availability from 9 AM to 5 PM local time, with an expected travel commitment of 30-40%.
