We are an early EdTech startup at the nexus of Mental Health, Communication, and Education. Today, education is reeling from an inability to catch addressable student needs before they escalate to costly outcomes like truancy, academic disengagement, and self-harm. In fact, 70% of students have unmet mental health needs. Emote uses school-wide communication to predict who needs support and when in real-time. Since finishing Y Combinator / ImagineK12, we’ve seen exciting growth and overwhelming/humbling demand. As a result, we need short-term customer support and can offer an incredible growth opportunity for the right candidate (and probably a nervous breakdown for the wrong one!). About the Role: Get experience in a fast-moving startup, develop expertise in EdTech, build connections in Silicon Valley and work with the entire founding team on a variety of projects. The Critical Need: We need the right person to help support customer success. The Growth Opportunity: If interested you can also help shape the product, manage a full-stack dev team and/or build our customer strategy. As the Customer & Product Success Lead, you are Emote’s ambassador and owner of the customer experience. You are most successful when your schools are successful in implementing Emote. Successful interns will have priority for a full-time position when we begin hiring in July. Critical Responsibilities: Take the lead in setting up new schools: - Listen to the specific needs of each school - Turn unstructured school data into structured data to import into Emote’s database - Customize Emote so it fits a school’s needs. Support the long-term success of schools: - Check in periodically with schools - Be the first responder to resolve issues when users have questions - Proactively identify issues - Advocate for educators in product prioritization meetings - Work with our engineers to diagnose tough problems. Growth Opportunity: Everything you touch has room for improvement. Customer success strategy: - Create support material for frequently asked questions - Iteratively improve school set-up process with every new school - Leverage automation (Zapier, Intercom, Mailchimp, etc.) to scale your impact. Product management: - Support the full design process: define, research, ideate, prototype, choose, implement, and learn - Guide & support a full-stack engineering team - Work with our engineers and technical advisors (from FB and Netflix!) to develop our first data pipeline for setting up a school. About You: Coming into the ground floor of a startup isn’t easy, we don’t have a playbook or the time to hand-hold, but an individual with the right set of skills and interest will thrive. What you’ll bring to Emote. Need to have: - Empathetic to the needs and challenges of educators - A natural communicator and relationship builder - Able to manipulate data (Intermediate Excel skills is fine!) - Organized and thorough - Independent and fast learner who takes initiative. Great to have: - Strong analytical skills to distil insight from data - Interest in product management and/or design - Experience working in K-12 education.
