You want to help shape how thousands of students experience math learning.
You're looking for a role where you'll learn in 2-3 years what might take 5-10 elsewhere. If so, read on
About Innovamat Innovamat is transforming K-8 math education across the U.S. and beyond - and we're just getting started. We're a fast-growing global EdTech startup with 300+ teammates across 10 countries, building a new generation of math education grounded in research, teacher empowerment, and real classroom impact. Our curriculum, intervention programs, and adaptive technology are already trusted by 27,000+ teachers in 2,600+ schools worldwide - and we're now in a pivotal phase of scaling our presence in the U.S. Backed by leading thinkers like Peter Liljedahl (Building Thinking Classrooms), Innovamat sits at the intersection of learning science, product innovation, and execution. We operate with a true startup mindset - we move fast, take ownership, experiment constantly, and are deeply driven by the impact we create for teachers and students. Math should be joyful, meaningful, and transformational - not worksheets and rote memorization. We partner with districts and educators to reimagine what math classrooms can look like. This is a chance to join early in our U.S. journey, take on real ownership, and help build something from the ground up.
About the Role This role is the right hand to the General Manager, Pacific and a core member of the U.S. expansion team. You'll start as a hands-on builder - opening doors, closing deals, and shaping our go-to-market motion - and evolve into a leader, hiring and developing the team that will scale the region. Roles like this are rare: you'll have the autonomy of a founder, the backing of a global company, and the opportunity to shape how an entire region - and eventually the U.S. - grows. You'll work across growth, operations, and strategy - building systems, running projects, supporting execution in the field, and stepping in wherever the business needs leverage.
What You'll Do
Drive Execution & Growth
- Grow the California territory: Build Innovamat's presence across the region by identifying priority districts, shaping a focused territory strategy, and creating strong momentum in the market.
- Lead consultative conversations: Engage district leaders in meaningful discussions about their math challenges and introduce Innovamat's research-backed approach.
- Refine the go-to-market motion: Identify patterns, improve messaging, and help build the playbook for scaling district partnerships across new regions.
- Generate pipeline through strategic outreach, networking, conferences, and strong presence in the education ecosystem.
- Act as a force multiplier to the General Manager, helping translate priorities into action
- Own end-to-end execution of key initiatives: plan, launch, analyze, iterate, scale
- Support growth efforts across districts, pilots, and expansion initiatives
- Get hands-on across teams to deeply understand how the business operates
- Turn what works into repeatable playbooks, processes, and tools
- Help move the team from founder-led hustle to sustainable, scalable execution
- Identify gaps, bottlenecks, and inefficiencies - and fix them
- Lead cross-functional projects that don't have a clear owner but are critical to growth
- Support new market entry efforts, process builds, and operational improvements
- Step into ambiguous problems and bring clarity, structure, and momentum
- Work closely with the General Manager and leadership team on priorities and execution
- Sense what's happening in the field and surface insights that inform strategy
- Ensure the most important work gets done - proactively!
- Coordinate across teams to maintain momentum and clarity
- Build clear reporting and tracking systems for internal stakeholders
- Help ensure alignment between strategy, execution, and impact
Must-Haves
- 3-5 years experience in consulting, ops/strategy, or another fast paced environment where ownership and results matter (e.g. investment banking, consulting, private equity, tech or early-stage startups).
- Strong individual contributor who enjoys being hands-on
- Exceptional execution skills - you get things done
- Strong analytical and problem-solving ability
- Clear, confident communicator (written and verbal)
- Comfortable with ambiguity and fast-paced environments
- Entrepreneurial mindset and high ownership mentality
- Genuine interest in education, impact, and building something meaningful
- Experience in edtech, education, or mission-driven organizations
- Exposure to senior leadership or founder-led environments
- Comfort working with public sector or school districts
- A rare opportunity to help scale a proven edtech company during its most exciting growth phase
- Direct mentorship and exposure to senior leadership
- Ownership of meaningful initiatives with real impact
- Fast career acceleration - grow into broader leadership or strategy roles based on performance
- Competitive compensation (OTE $170K)
- 5% 401(k) match
- Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage
- Paid holidays, 22 days of PTO plus an extra week off over Christmas!
- Company laptop + mobile phone
- Regular travel for fieldwork and team connection
- Team-building events ( and more)
