How You'll Contribute to Our Mission
At Frontline Education, our vision is simple: Every school thriving. Every community stronger.
Our mission is to transform how schools work, so every educator and student succeeds.
Frontline Education is a leading provider of software solutions designed to help K-12 school systems manage their human capital, business operations, and student data with greater insight, efficiency, and impact. Serving more than 10,000 districts nationwide, we empower school leaders with the tools, information, and guidance they need to make informed decisions that positively influence staff, students, and communities.
About the Data & Analytics Business
Frontline's Data & Analytics business is a standalone unit dedicated to unlocking the full potential of district data. Our analytics platforms give school systems the clarity and confidence to move from information to action, enabling smarter, faster, and more transparent decisions across every dimension of district leadership.
The Data & Analytics suite includes:

• Business Analytics, helping district finance and operations leaders forecast, plan, and optimize resource allocation
• Comparative Analytics, providing districts with benchmarking data to measure performance relative to peers
• Student Analytics, which turns academic and engagement data into actionable insight for improving learning, equity, and achievement
• Location Analytics, which leverages GIS technology to visualize student, staffing, and facility data on interactive maps for strategic boundary and resource planning

Together, these solutions help district leaders make sense of their data, communicate clearly, and act confidently.
About the Role
We have an exciting opportunity for a Director, Data & Analytics Sales to join our growing Data & Analytics business. Reporting to the Managing Director, Data & Analytics, this role serves as a cabinet-level leader within the business and is responsible for one of Frontline's highest-performing sales teams. This position is based from a home office with travel throughout the assigned territory.
About the Sales Motion
The Data & Analytics sales team is consistently among the highest-performing organizations at Frontline. The team operates a highly outbound-focused motion with a 1:1 Account Executive to Sales Development Representative ratio, where SDRs drive proactive prospecting efforts to open and advance opportunities.
The motion is well optimized, with leads that typically close within 20 days and a strong win rate. We sell exclusively to K-12 public school districts. Most solutions are sold to district CFOs and Superintendents, while Student Analytics solutions are also sold to Directors of Curriculum and Instruction. These senior, technically sophisticated buyers expect a high level of subject matter expertise and credibility from the sales organization.
The business is actively evolving from a software-enabled services model toward a SaaS model. This leader will help the team effectively position both product and Advisory services value while supporting the continued evolution of the sales motion as the business scales.
Our Advisors are typically former district CFOs and Superintendents who coach clients on product usage, support custom analyses, provide thought leadership, and help craft narratives for high-stakes engagements such as board meetings and budget presentations. This role requires a clear understanding of how Advisory services strengthen the overall value proposition.
Success in this position requires effective orchestration of multiple lead-generation channels, including outbound-focused SAEs and SDRs, Advisors, Marketing, and Events, while maintaining the rigor and accountability required in a high-velocity sales environment.
