About Us:
STEM skills are increasingly important to our future workforce, yet more than 60% of students in kindergarten through 8th grade are not proficient in math within their own grade-level. As a society, we need to bring together our best, most creative minds to tackle this critical problem and ensure all kids are successful in math and reaching their potential. This includes developing the most innovative learning technology that inspires students and empowers teachers.
At DreamBox, we’re passionate about our mission to radically transform the way the world learns. We believe all children can excel at learning, no matter where they start, where they live, or who they are. Today, our Intelligent Adaptive Learning™ platform – with its rigorous math curriculum and game-based environment – is helping 3 million kids and over 130,000 teachers improve math achievement and build a love of math at the same time. And as a rapidly growing tech company, we are just getting started. Come help us make a difference at DreamBox Learning.

  • Help prepare reports, presentations, and other documents needed to support a wide variety of internal and external needs
  • Build strong, productive relationships with internal and external stakeholders to represent the CEO and DreamBox with integrity and cordiality

  • Prior success in Private Equity-backed firms, holding companies, companies with multiple business units, geographically disperse organizations or other institutions that require diplomacy and persistence in equal measures to foster productive relationships
