We seek entrepreneurial minds who want to make a measurable impact, collaborate across teams, and explore uncharted territories.

Role Overview:

We are seeking a driven and relationship-oriented individual to join our team as a Homeschool & Retail Partnerships Specialist. This is a remote-friendly contract position requiring approximately 30-40 hours per week, with a one-year initial term and the opportunity to extend or transition to a full-time W2 role. The ideal candidate brings a sales and business development mindset paired with strong operational follow-through. In this role, you will own two core revenue channels and be directly accountable for hitting growth targets within each. You will work closely with the CEO and should be available for regular virtual collaboration and occasional in-person touchpoints.

Responsibilities:

Homeschool Channel Management

• Track pipeline, performance, and revenue outcomes for the retail channel

Revenue Ownership

• Set and pursue revenue targets for both the homeschool and independent retail channels
• Report on channel performance and proactively identify opportunities to accelerate growth

• Handle all event research, vendor applications, booth selection, and logistics coordination
• Manage pre-event preparation, travel, on-site setup, execution, and teardown

Ideal Experience:

The ideal candidate flourishes in an entrepreneurial environment. We are looking for individuals who excel at:

• Owning revenue goals and holding themselves accountable to outcomes
• Building and nurturing long-term relationships with partners and buyers
• Managing multiple workstreams simultaneously without losing attention to detail
• Working independently with clear goals while creating space for new ideas and initiatives
• Communicating with polish and professionalism in all external interactions
• Leveraging productivity tools to manage pipeline, scheduling, and follow-up
• Navigating multiple platforms and portals with ease, including homeschool program portals, wholesale platforms, outreach tools, and order management systems
• Anticipating needs before they arise and staying three steps ahead
• Spotting market trends and partnership opportunities proactively
• Demonstrating agility in a fast-moving, early-stage company environment
• Prior experience working with homeschool programs, educational curriculum platforms, enrichment grant programs, or a similar education-adjacent company is a strong plus
• Bachelor's Degree or Business Certification required

Why Join Us?
