Who We Are
Informed K12 is transforming how school districts operate by bringing critical workflows online with the unique flexibility needed to serve the school community. In many ways, district-level processes have the greatest impact on student outputs and outcomes. However, today many school districts across the country remain stuck with fragmented, inefficient processes that lack cohesion. It only takes a single process to fail to lead to funding, staffing, and financial risk. At large, this may lead to budget overruns, compliance risks, and service disruptions to students and teachers.
Our platform enables educators and administrators to orchestrate their processes to run more efficient, transparent, and compliant school districts—so they can focus on what matters most: students.
We partner with educators and administrators to drive sustainable change across their organizations. As we scale, we’re looking for a Customer Success Manager who can build strategic partnerships, develop and execute account strategies, and influence change through data-driven insights and deep relationships.

The CSM leads the long game: co-architecting a high-impact partnership built on sustained value. Through data, storytelling, and strategic influence, you’ll help districts not only adopt technology, but win internal buy-in, modernize critical processes, and become models of operational excellence.
This isn’t a reactive support role. It’s about building belief in what's possible and being the trusted advisor who helps districts get there.

- Escalate early risks and own mitigation strategies using data and evidence

- Hold both clients and internal teams accountable to timelines, outcomes, and commitments

- You move fast, but thoughtfully, using data and context to prioritize the most important work
- You are comfortable with ambiguity and excel at building clarity over time

What We Do
We help school district administrators operate efficiently and gain insight into their most critical school business processes.
Still today, most school districts have hundreds of mission critical processes that run on paper, making visibility and improvement near impossible. We transform paperwork from a daily stumbling block to a strategic tool. This makes it possible to hire the right teachers faster, make sure students have a way to get to school, ensure teachers get reimbursed and paid on time, and a lot more.
We are powering the future of school district operations by helping district administrators drive the systemic change needed to improve productivity, accountability and equity.
