Education Implementation Manager Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Role Overview
LaunchEd partners with schools to identify, evaluate, and implement innovative programs and technologies that improve teaching, learning, and school operations. As an Implementation Specialist, you'll play a key role in turning those innovations into successful, sustainable practices across a network of schools.

Working closely with school leaders, teachers, internal teams, and technology partners, you'll ensure new programs are implemented effectively and deliver measurable impact in classrooms.
This role is ideal for someone with experience in K-12 leadership, instructional coaching, educational technology, or large-scale program implementation who enjoys leading change, building strong relationships, and helping schools successfully adopt new ways of working.

Communication & Strategic Support
• Communicate updates, wins, challenges, and needs to the VP of RDI with consistency, transparency, and a solutions-oriented mindset
