Director, New Partner Development
Featured
WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR: DIRECTOR, NEW PARTNER DEVELOPMENT
You grind and hustle to meet ambitious goals. You love people, you love achievement, and you do what it takes to succeed. You will be Possip’s leader of new partner development and will model the mindset, skills, and actions needed to bring on new partners.
You learn quickly, are curious, and love to chase and attain big, seemingly unrealistic goals. You are comfortable in ambiguity -- but work to create structure and sense out of it. You are inspired to persevere and overcome rejection - for the right cause or idea.
You are data-driven in your planning and in your drive to continuously improve. You bring strong strategy, planning, organizing, and relationship skills together
Most importantly you believe each person, inclusive of every socioeconomic status, racial or ethnic identity, and educational experience, has value and deserves to have their voice shared in a productive way. You believe in the power and potential of schools - and see yourself as a supporter of the leaders and educators who work within them. Because of this belief you will drive the work of Possip forward.
You will join a small start-up team working to grow a service and platform that will simplify and enable parent to school feedback loops across a diversity of parents and schools. You must care about integrating parent perspective into schools, and about helping schools learn and grow. You should be able to successfully navigate diverse communities, constituencies and contexts.

ABOUT POSSIP
Possip was founded in January of 2017 to help schools make parents their greatest asset using real-time feedback. Possip does this by collecting weekly feedback from parents and providing schools with recurring weekly reports. We have almost 30,000 parents across almost 100 schools.
Possip is growing to serve even more school partners and families. We are building a team to help us grow, meet the needs of our school partners and their parents, and build a sustaining organization that is sound financially, culturally and operationally.
WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR: POSSIP TEAM
You want meaningful work where you will learn, grow, and challenge the status quo while being kind, practical, relational, and strategic. You are the rare person who can hold two competing ideas in your head at the same time. You love people as much as you love data. You learn quickly, are curious, and love to chase and attain big, seemingly unrealistic goals. You are comfortable in ambiguity — but work to create structure and sense out of it. You are inspired to persevere and overcome rejection – for the right cause or idea. You can organize, plan, relate, and create. You are ready to do what needs to be done to meet the goal, whether mundane tasks or projects for which you don’t feel qualified.
Most importantly you believe each person, inclusive of every socioeconomic status, racial or ethnic identity, and educational experience, has value and deserves to have their voice shared in a productive way. You believe in the power and potential of schools – and see yourself as a supporter of the leaders and educators who work within them. Because of this belief you will drive the work of Possip forward.
You will join a small start-up team working to grow a service and platform that will simplify and enable parent to school feedback loops across a diversity of parents and schools.
