YouthTruth Partnerships Lead

YouthTruth Partnerships Lead

San Francisco, CA

We believe, and research shows, that student and stakeholder feedback matter for school improvement and student success. That’s why, in 2008, we created YouthTruth – to help educators harness student and stakeholder feedback to accelerate improvements. We’ve heard from over two-million students, parents/guardians, and school staff members across 39 states and five countries. We’ve coached thousands of education leaders through the process of receiving and acting on high-quality feedback data and are rapidly growing.

To help deepen our impact, we are looking for someone who:

·        Is passionate about improving school systems and believes that student voice and stakeholder feedback can improve education.

·        Is confident interpreting quantitative and quantitative data and has some familiarity with trends in education evaluation and measurement. 

·        Can draw insights from data and coach others to use data to guide goal-setting, decision-making and strategic planning. Experience with continuous improvement methods is a plus.

·        Is committed to using data to support school communities to drive educational equity.

·        Enjoys connecting with education leaders and excels at leading workshops, giving presentations and public speaking in both virtual and in-person settings.

·        Is energized by traveling around the country for meetings and conferences (when it is deemed safe to do so).

·        Is eager to forge new partnerships to meet and exceed aggressive earned revenue goals to drive impact.

If this sounds like you, you would be tasked with helping our partnerships and outreach team develop new partnerships with school systems, strengthen existing relationships, and deliver professional development coaching to deepen clients’ engagement with YouthTruth data. Reporting to the deputy director, you would work collaboratively with the full YouthTruth team as well as staff in other departments at The Center for Effective Philanthropy (CEP), YouthTruth’s parent nonprofit.

Other required qualifications: 

·        A minimum of four years of relevant professional experience and a Bachelor’s degree.

·        Experience either working in schools or with schools in a consulting, coaching, or similar role. Those who have experience in school, county office, or district leadership are strongly encouraged to apply.

·        Outstanding and persuasive written and verbal communication skills, including strong presentation skills and keen attention to detail.

·        Experience managing multiple deadlines while adapting quickly and confidently in a fast-paced environment.

·        Comfort and ease with national travel during busy conference and client presentation seasons, including some weekend travel. When deemed safe to travel, this position requires up to 30% travel.

·        A self-starter capable of working independently and collaboratively, motivated by team goals.

·        Comfort with ambiguity and ability to remain flexible in response to business needs of a rapidly growing team.

·        A work ethic consistent with the CEP/YouthTruth organizational culture: thoughtful; sharp attention to detail, responsive and team-oriented; commitment to client confidentiality; demonstrates the highest level of personal integrity as well as a commitment to youth voice and diversity, equity, and inclusion.
