Client Success Associate

KickUp is looking for a Client Success Associate to join a team that is reimagining how school districts grow their most valuable asset: their people.

KickUp is on a mission to help every educator thrive throughout their career. Our platform helps educational leaders capture data about teacher growth and use it to drive better outcomes for students. We’re a growing team building a product used by tens of thousands of educators.

As a Client Success Associate, you will be instrumental in ensuring the success of our school district partners.

Our team is humble, sharp, and user-focused with a unique blend of both mission driven and business smart qualities. We care about the work and are committed to each others’ success.

We’ve proven product-market fit, and still have a lot of growth ahead. Joining at this stage affords significant opportunities for growth alongside a team of peers.
