About The Position

At Just Right Reader, we work alongside schools and districts across the country to improve early literacy through decodable texts grounded in the Science of Reading. We create decodable books that are engaging and effective. Most importantly, kids actually enjoy reading them. We’re hiring a Partnerships Lead in Ohio, Kentucky or surrounding states who understands how schools operate and how literacy decisions get made. If you've sat in those meetings, led those initiatives, or coached teachers through those shifts, you're who we're looking for. This is an opportunity to support other leaders in advancing reading outcomes at scale.

• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills
• Ability to work independently in a fast-paced environment and contribute to a collaborative team
