Customer & Product Success

3-month Internship

 

 

We are an early EdTech startup at the nexus of Mental Health, Communication, and Education. Today, education is reeling from an inability to catch addressable student needs before they escalate to costly outcomes like truancy, academic disengagement, and self-harm, In fact, 70% of students have unmet mental health needs. Emote uses school-wide communication to predict who needs support and when in real-time.

 

Since finishing Y Combinator / ImagineK12 , we’ve seen exciting growth and overwhelming/humbling demand. As a result, we:

1. need short-term customer support and

2. can offer an incredible growth opportunity for the right candidate (and probably a nervous breakdown for the wrong one!).

 

 

 

About the Role

 

Get experience in a fast-moving startup, develop expertise in EdTech, build connections in Silicon Valley and work with the entire founding team on a variety of projects.

 

The Critical Need: We need the right person to help support customer success.

The Growth Opportunity: If interested you can also help shape the product, manage a full-stack dev team and/or build our customer strategy.

 

As the Customer & Product Success Lead, you are Emote’s ambassador and owner of the customer experience. You are most successful when your schools are successful in implementing Emote. Successful interns will have priority for a full-time position when we begin hiring in July.

 

 

Critical Responsibilities

- Listen to the specific needs of each school

- Turn unstructured school data into structured data to import into Emote’s database

- Customize Emote so it fits a school’s needs
