Who we are

At Informed K12, we’re on a mission to help school district administrators operate efficiently and gain insight into their most critical school business processes. Still today, most school districts have hundreds of mission-critical processes that run on paper, making visibility and improvement near impossible. We transform paperwork from a daily stumbling block to a strategic tool. This makes it possible to hire the right teachers for the right classrooms faster, manage bus routes for students without permanent housing, ensure teachers get reimbursed and paid on time, and a lot more. In short, we are powering the future of school district operations by helping district administrators drive the systemic change needed to improve productivity, accountability, and equity.

Our founders came out of Stanford University’s Graduate School of Education. Informed K12 (formerly Chalk Schools) was one of the first companies funded by Stanford’s StartX accelerator and top education technology incubator Imagine K12, now part of Y Combinator.

About the role

At Informed K12, a critical part of what we offer is a high-touch, consultative approach to implementation, where we leverage our expertise to provide school districts with a clear path to success. We're looking for folks that can influence a change in district behaviors through technology. This often means wrangling stakeholders and getting very creative in getting wide and deep within multiple district departments and department leaders. You will partner with our clients to take them on a transformation journey as they reimagine critical processes and build operational capacity for their organizations.

If large-scale change management and moving diverse groups of people with competing priorities toward common goals is interesting to you, then you will find the work we do both rewarding and challenging. Your positive relationships with our district partners will help them lead large-scale change in their organization.
