Innovamat•San Francisco, CA

10d•$170,000•Hybrid

About The Position

Innovamat is transforming K–8 math education across the U.S. and beyond. We are a fast-growing global EdTech startup with over 300 teammates across 10 countries, building a new generation of math education grounded in research, teacher empowerment, and real classroom impact. Our curriculum, intervention programs, and adaptive technology are trusted by over 27,000 teachers in 2,600+ schools worldwide. We are currently in a pivotal phase of scaling our presence in the U.S. Backed by leading thinkers, Innovamat sits at the intersection of learning science, product innovation, and execution. We operate with a true startup mindset, moving fast, taking ownership, experimenting constantly, and are deeply driven by the impact we create for teachers and students. Math should be joyful, meaningful, and transformational. We partner with districts and educators to reimagine what math classrooms can look like. This is a chance to join early in our U.S. journey, take on real ownership, and help build something from the ground up. This role is the right hand to the General Manager, Pacific and a core member of the U.S. expansion team. You’ll start as a hands-on builder — opening doors, closing deals, and shaping our go-to-market motion — and evolve into a leader, hiring and developing the team that will scale the region. Roles like this are rare: you’ll have the autonomy of a founder, the backing of a global company, and the opportunity to shape how an entire region — and eventually the U.S. — grows. You’ll work across growth, operations, and strategy — building systems, running projects, supporting execution in the field, and stepping in wherever the business needs leverage.
