About The Position

Just Right Reader is seeking a Partnerships Director for Alaska-based education leaders. This role offers a meaningful opportunity to help strengthen foundational literacy across Alaska, where local context is crucial. The ideal candidate will be a trusted former school or district leader with a deep understanding of Alaska's rural, remote, urban, multilingual, and Indigenous education communities. You will partner with school and district leaders to align their literacy goals with Just Right Reader's evidence-based decodable reading resources, which are grounded in the Science of Reading. This position allows you to expand your impact from a single school or district to supporting students across the entire state. The role requires an understanding of local trust, regional nuance, and practical follow-through due to the relationship-driven and geographically diverse nature of Alaska's education communities. Alaska experience is essential for success in this role. This role requires travel within the designated region.

Requirements

• At least 3 years of experience as a school or district leader (such as principal, assistant principal, curriculum director, or instructional coach)
• Strong understanding of foundational literacy and the science of reading
• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills
• Ability to work independently in a fast-paced, remote environment and contribute to a collaborative team
• Comfort with storytelling, strategy, and working with data to guide decisions
• A natural drive to sell - this can mean you've closed deals in education, pitched programs to your district, or even worked retail in college. You're energized by the challenge of getting to "yes" and aren't afraid to own a sales quota
• Alaska experience is central to doing this job well.

Responsibilities

• Own the full sales cycle from first conversation through signed agreement
• Build strong, trusted relationships with school and district leaders
• Actively generate new opportunities by identifying leads, making outreach, and developing a robust pipeline

• Represent Just Right Reader at regional conferences, events, and meetings with decision-makers
• Collaborate with internal teams to ensure a smooth handoff and successful long-term implementation
• Consistently meet or exceed your sales goals for district growth and product adoption
