About The Position

Innovamat is the leading global K–12 edtech startup transforming how mathematics is learned and taught in schools. We bring cutting-edge pedagogy and instructional design into the classroom through a unique, research-backed PreK–8 curriculum that replaces traditional textbooks with hands-on, high-engagement learning experiences. After launching in the U.S. just two years ago, we’ve already partnered with 60+ public school districts — including Chicago Public Schools — with a 100% pilot-to-adoption conversion rate. We’ve proven product–market fit. Now we’re scaling fast: from 40,000 students today to 200,000+ next year, and far beyond. We’re a team of 320+ educators and builders across 9 countries, united by one mission: make high-quality math instruction accessible to every student. In the U.S., we’re a hybrid team of ~35 people across New York, California, Chicago, and beyond. This role is the right hand to the Head of Expansion and a core member of the U.S. expansion team. You’ll be deeply embedded in the business as a hands-on operator who helps turn strategy into execution. It’s about doing, learning fast, and helping the Head of Expansion scale what works. 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.
