AI Program Manager - EdTech (9-12)

TechSmart is a pioneering AI software and workforce development company transforming the public K–12 school system into a launchpad for future-ready talent. We partner with school districts across the country providing AI and Software Development curriculum, teacher training, and a platform which prepares students for both entry-level jobs requiring strong AI skills and positions in emerging high-demand tech fields.

AI is transforming industries at an unprecedented pace, reshaping how we learn, work, and engage with technology. As AI continues to drive innovation and job growth nationwide, we are witnessing the early stages of significant AI adoption among school districts across the country.

To support this transformation, we are expanding our partnerships with districts nationwide — ensuring that every school and teacher has the tools, training, and guidance to implement AI and computer science programs with confidence and lasting success.

We are seeking an organized, relationship-driven, and strategically minded AI Program Manager to oversee implementation and long-term success for a portfolio of TechSmart’s school district partnerships.

The ideal candidate is an exceptional communicator and trusted partner to district leaders — someone who can coordinate complex programs, align cross-functional teams, and ensure smooth implementation from kickoff through measurable classroom outcomes.

As an AI Program Manager, you’ll collaborate closely with district administrators, teachers, and TechSmart’s internal teams (Sales, Product, and AI Teaching Consultant Teams) to plan, launch, and sustain AI and computer science programs that empower educators and inspire students. You will own the partnership relationship, ensuring alignment with district goals, delivery excellence, and continuous improvement throughout the school year.

This role bridges strategy and execution — ideal for someone who thrives on driving outcomes, building strong relationships, and helping schools deliver future-ready learning experiences at scale.

• Lead end-to-end implementation for assigned district partnerships, from onboarding and planning through successful program delivery and renewal.
  
• Collaborate with district and school leadership teams to align TechSmart’s AI and Software Development solutions with instructional goals and workforce readiness initiatives.
  
• Develop and manage implementation timelines, milestones, and success metrics to ensure high-fidelity program execution.
  
• Partner with TechSmart’s AI Teaching Consultant Team to ensure seamless coordination between instructional training and program logistics.
  
• Identify potential risks or challenges early and manage escalations professionally to ensure timely resolution and stakeholder satisfaction.
  

• Serve as the primary point of contact and strategic relationship lead for assigned districts.
• Build strong, trust-based relationships with administrators, CTE directors, principals, and teachers to ensure satisfaction, alignment, and long-term success.
• Lead renewal and expansion efforts for assigned partner districts, collaborating closely with the Director of Sales and Sales team to manage renewal timelines, track pipeline progress, and identify opportunities for program growth.
• Conduct regular program review meetings to assess progress, identify areas for improvement, and highlight key outcomes.
• Maintain thorough documentation of partnership activity, meeting notes, and implementation updates to ensure transparency and consistent communication.

• Monitor key performance indicators (teacher engagement, program adoption, implementation fidelity, and student outcomes) to track program health.
• Analyze district data and feedback to inform program refinements and strategic recommendations.
• Work cross-functionally with Curriculum, Product, and the AI Teaching Consultant Team to communicate field insights and support continuous improvement.
• Contribute to the design of scalable systems, tools, and reporting processes that enhance visibility, communication, and accountability across partnerships.

• Partner closely with the Sales, Curriculum, Product, and AI Teaching Consultant Teams to ensure consistent, high-quality delivery across all partnerships.
  
• Collaborate with the Sales team to align renewal and expansion strategies with district priorities and demonstrated program results.
• Share implementation insights and success stories to help shape best practices and new initiatives.
• Ensure clear communication loops across internal teams to support renewals, expansion opportunities, and long-term district relationships.

We are looking for candidates who combine education-leadership experience with customer success or account-management expertise — professionals who understand both how schools operate and how to manage complex partnerships effectively.

• Education Leadership Experience: Former school or district leader (e.g., CTE Director, Principal, Assistant Principal, Instructional Coach, or Program Coordinator) with direct experience leading academic or technology-based initiatives.
  
• Program or Account Management Experience: 3–6 years managing strategic partnerships, implementations, or education programs within K–12 or EdTech settings.
  
• Relationship Management: Proven ability to build and maintain strong, trust-based relationships with administrators and educators.
  
• Operational Excellence: Highly organized and detail-oriented; adept at managing multiple projects and timelines with consistency and precision.
  
• Strategic Thinking: Skilled at using data, feedback, and insight to inform decisions and improve program performance.
  
• Communication: Exceptional verbal and written communication skills — equally effective in leading meetings, writing summaries, and presenting impact updates.
  
• Education: Bachelor’s degree required; advanced degree in Education, Public Administration, or a related field preferred.
