InnovaMat is a research-backed mathematics education organization founded in Barcelona in 2017, now operating across 9 countries with 31,000+ teachers in 3,300+ schools reaching 720,000+ students. The company provides a comprehensive math program from Early Childhood through Secondary Education, grounded in research from leading experts including Peter Liljedahl and Brian Butterworth. InnovaMat was the first non-American organization to pass California State Board of Education adoption for a core math curriculum.
You will serve as Growth & Strategy Manager for Northern California, one of InnovaMat's most strategic U.S. markets. This is a hands-on role that evolves from individual contributor to regional leader. You'll own the full California territory, building InnovaMat's presence by identifying priority districts, shaping territory strategy, and creating market momentum.
Key responsibilities include: owning and growing the California territory with full accountability for revenue, partnerships, and local strategy; leading district partnerships end-to-end from outbound prospecting through pilots and contract closure; partnering closely with the VP of Strategy & Development on high-impact strategic initiatives and market insights; generating pipeline through strategic outreach, networking, and ecosystem presence; leading consultative conversations with district leaders about their math challenges; collaborating with internal teams (Math Success, Strategy, Marketing) on demos, pilots, and proposals; refining go-to-market motion by identifying patterns and building playbooks for scaling; and representing InnovaMat at conferences, events, and district meetings.
You'll have autonomy similar to a founder while backed by a global organization, with the opportunity to shape how an entire region and eventually the U.S. market grows. The role includes ~50% travel within the region and requires building and eventually leading a team.
REQUIREMENTS:
- Entrepreneurial spirit with proven track record of building, shipping, or taking ownership of something meaningful
- Experience in fast-paced environments (investment banking, consulting, private equity, tech, early-stage startups) demonstrating grit, resilience, and results-oriented performance
- Founder mentality: operate beyond your role, improve systems and processes, drive outcomes
- Operator mindset combining strategy with execution; ability to zoom out for planning and zoom in for execution
- Proven closing ability with experience owning full sales cycles or delivering results in high-performance environments
- Team building capability: excited to hire, develop, and lead teams with high standards
- Resilience and relationship intelligence to navigate complex multi-stakeholder decision processes and build trust with senior stakeholders
- Learning mindset: willingness to deeply understand math education and district adoption dynamics
- Based in San Francisco with willingness to travel ~50%
- Preferred: experience launching or scaling from 0→1, curiosity about education and learning science, comfort with high-impact and high-responsibility environments
