  • Works closely with Enterprise Strategy, Government Relations and Policy, and Product Research & Validation (R&V) to curate a single, trusted view of the market and customer.

  • Hands-on experience with research & BI tools (e.g., Qualtrics/SurveyMonkey/Alida, Excel/Sheets, Tableau/Power BI; SPSS/R/Python a plus).
  • Experience building/managing an insight panel/community and third-party research vendors.
  • Working knowledge of K–12 buying groups, state adoption cycles, policy/funding context, and educator needs.
