Where teachers fit at edtech companies

  • Customer success and implementation: onboarding schools and districts
  • Sales and partnerships: selling to schools and districts
  • Professional learning: training teachers on the product
  • Curriculum and content: writing lessons and assessments
  • Product and research roles (usually need more experience)

How edtech hiring tends to work

  • Hiring often ramps up in spring and summer ahead of back-to-school.
  • Many edtech roles are remote and draw large applicant pools.
  • Edtech funding swings affect hiring. Keep non-edtech companies on your list too.

Stand out

  • Name the products you've used in class and what results you saw.
  • Show you understand the buyer (admins) as well as the user (teachers).
  • Watch for scams: real employers don't ask you to pay for equipment, training or a background check up front, and they don't run the whole interview over a chat app.
