What is an educational toy?

An Educational Toys job typically involves designing, developing, marketing, or selling toys that promote learning and development for children. Professionals in this field may work in product design, education consulting, retail, or manufacturing. Their goal is to create engaging and age-appropriate toys that enhance cognitive, motor, and social skills. Some roles also involve researching child development trends and ensuring toys meet educational standards.

What are some common challenges professionals face when designing educational toys?

Professionals in the educational toy industry often face the challenge of balancing developmental effectiveness, safety standards, and market appeal when creating new products. The process requires frequent collaboration with educators, child psychologists, engineers, and marketing teams to ensure the toys are both engaging and educational while also meeting strict regulatory guidelines. Additionally, adapting to evolving educational trends and feedback from real users can be demanding, as it requires continuous innovation and flexibility. Despite these challenges, the rewarding aspect comes from seeing products positively impact children's learning and development.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the educational toys position, and why are they important?

To thrive in a career designing and developing educational toys, you need a background in early childhood education, product design, or related fields combined with a strong understanding of learning principles and child development. Proficiency with CAD software, prototyping tools, and familiarity with safety standards and regulations (such as ASTM or CPSIA) are typically required. Creativity, strong collaboration skills, and the ability to communicate complex ideas clearly are key soft skills that set candidates apart. These skills ensure the creation of safe, engaging, and educational products that meet both regulatory standards and children's developmental needs.

Job description

Sales Manager – Education Channel (K–12)

Thames & Kosmos | Providence, RI (hybrid, with flexibility for the right candidate)

ABOUT THE ROLE

Thames & Kosmos is a leading producer of STEM kits, educational toys, and board games. Our products are designed to spark curiosity and help students learn through hands-on exploration. We partner with educators, families, and schools to make learning more engaging, meaningful, and fun.

We are looking for a Sales Manager to help grow our K–12 education business. This is a strong fit for someone who understands how schools and districts make purchasing decisions and is excited to build relationships that bring high-quality learning tools into classrooms.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Grow the Education Channel

  • Build and manage a pipeline of opportunities across public, private, and charter schools, career and technical education (CTE) programs, homeschool organizations, and enrichment programs
  • Develop relationships with schools, districts, education distributors, and resellers to expand reach
  • Identify and pursue funding opportunities tied to school budgets, grants, and philanthropic programs
  • Represent Thames & Kosmos at education conferences, trade shows, and events


Engage Educators and Decision-Makers

  • Connect with teachers, curriculum coordinators, and administrators to understand their needs and purchasing processes
  • Present products in a way that supports classroom use and measurable learning outcomes
  • Develop and deliver educator-focused trainings, workshops, and product demos


Help Shape the Channel

  • Share educator feedback to inform product development and support materials
  • Partner with internal teams across Sales, Product Development, and Marketing to improve how we serve the education market
  • Grow into greater ownership of accounts, strategy, and team resources over time

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

  • Strong, trusted relationships with school and district partners that drive repeat business
  • Increased adoption of Thames & Kosmos products in classrooms and programs
  • A well-defined K–12 channel strategy with a clear pipeline and growing revenue
  • Internal teams better informed by educator needs and market insight

WHAT YOU'LL BRING

Required

  • 2–5 years of experience in education sales, account management, or a marketing role with direct exposure to K–12 schools or districts
  • Solid understanding of how schools purchase materials: budgets, approval processes, funding sources, and working through distributors
  • Experience communicating with educators, administrators, or institutional buyers
  • Strong organizational and communication skills, and the ability to manage multiple accounts and priorities independently


Helpful (but not required)

  • Familiarity with how educational distributors operate within the K–12 buying ecosystem and how they serve schools and districts
  • Familiarity with STEM products, curriculum, or classroom resources
  • Familiarity with educational standards (NGSS, CCSS, or similar frameworks)
  • Experience with CRM tools or sales tracking systems

COMPENSATION & BENEFITS

Competitive base salary, commensurate with experience, plus performance bonus

  • Full company-paid health, vision, and dental insurance for employee and family
  • Generous paid time off and holidays
  • Parental and caregiver leave
  • Health and wellness stipend
  • 401(k) options available
  • Hybrid work environment — Providence, RI preferred; flexibility considered for the right candidate
  • Travel: approximately 20–30% annually


Thames & Kosmos offers a collaborative, mission-driven environment where curiosity is genuinely valued. This role is an opportunity to do meaningful work that brings hands-on learning experiences into classrooms — and to grow with a company that takes education seriously.
