Key responsibilities include driving customer adoption and leading renewal efforts within the unique Texas educational landscape.

You will oversee complex onboarding and renewal processes, coach teachers and administrators through change, and design interventions that boost adoption.

• Portfolio Growth and Retention: You will manage a portfolio of approximately 50-75 mid-market districts while maintaining a Net Revenue Retention (NRR) rate above target through strategic price increases and seat expansion.

• Product Adoption: You will drive active usage across your districts by delivering high-impact training and implementation strategies and creating compelling support materials, such as tutorials and one-pagers, that ensure implementation is scalable and our tools become essential to daily teacher workflows.

• Churn Mitigation: You will identify at-risk accounts and execute intervention playbooks to maintain a gross churn rate below company thresholds, specifically focusing on a 90 day action plan for high-stakes renewals.

• Multi-Stakeholder Discovery and Solutioning: You will run structured discovery across district roles and map MagicSchool solutions to each persona's priorities to drive multi-threaded engagement.

• Strategic Relationship Management: You will build deep trust with district executive leadership, managing accounts through data-driven storytelling and consultative selling.

• Leadership and Mentorship: You will scale our collective impact by contributing high level insights to the Customer Success playbook, driving cross functional strategy in leadership meetings, and mentoring junior team members to elevate the entire regional organization.

• Consultative Discovery and Multi-Stakeholder Management: You run structured discovery across senior district roles (Director of Technology, C&I, ELL, cabinet), translate what you learn into prescriptive, persona-aligned recommendations, and guide district leaders toward the right solution rather than reacting to requests.

• Book Segmentation & Prioritization: Independently segment your book by ARR, strategic influence, and use case potential to focus time where it drives the most impact.

• Executive Communication: You are concise, credible, and compelling with senior district leaders. You inspire confidence through clarity.
