Primer is a growing network of K–8 schools restoring the timeless foundations of American education. Inspired by the original teaching primers that shaped a nation of readers, thinkers, and builders, our schools begin with what has always worked, and build for what lies ahead. Close-knit learning environments. Skilled educators. A culture that takes kids seriously as learners and leaders.
Primers shaped the first 200 years of American children. Primer will ready them for the next.
Primer's goal is simple: fix K–12 education in America. We build schools from the ground up — and we run them on something nobody's built before: a single operating system for the entire school. We call it PrimerOS.
It covers real estate, teacher experience, parent experience, the most advanced academic program in the world, our back-office operating stack, and much more. We're looking for exceptional, multidisciplinary engineers to help build it. You'll redesign the school experience around modern technology and ship features that teachers, students, families, and state teams rely on every day. Based out of our sunny office in the Mission District of San Francisco 5 days/week.
Work with TypeScript, Node, GraphQL, Prisma, Postgres, Next, React, and Relay. We invest heavily in our DevEx and agent stack.
Work daily with team members from engineering, product, design, academic program, and executive teams.
Take ownership of projects. You’ll lead initiatives that shape the entire product, with room to learn and grow along the way.
Play a key role in setting the foundation for our engineering culture as we grow the team.
Build quality product. We set a high bar for quality, so expect to work hard to deliver excellence.
You have an unbridled passion for fixing the US education system. This work is incredibly hard. But if we succeed, it will be the most fulfilling work of our lives. On the days and weeks that it feels like we’re chewing glass, there are only two things that will get you through: a deep passion for fixing this problem, and looking around and seeing a team that shares that passion. We can guarantee the latter, but only you can guarantee the former.
The unknowns of the early-stage fuel you. You love rolling up your sleeves and figuring out what needs to happen.
You have a strong grasp of engineering fundamentals and know how to apply them.
You take immense pride in your craft. Watching a session replay of a user having a bad experience with product you built makes you sick. Every detail matters.
You have experience and love owning a feature or product from idea to live in production with active users.
Competitive salary plus equity
Benefits: Generous health, dental, vision, and retirement benefits included.
Primer is a mission-first company. We believe our mission is the highest-leverage way we can create positive change. In service of that, we keep work centered on mission execution and avoid social or political activism at work that’s unrelated to the mission. If that energizes you, we’d love to see you apply.

Primers shaped the first 200 years of American children. Primer will ready them for the next.
As an Admissions Representative, you'll be the human face of Primer for prospective families — the person who meets them where they are, earns their trust, and helps them understand why Primer is different.
We're building education for every family in America, not just the ones who find us easily. That means showing up in person, adapting to family schedules, and doing the relationship-building work that makes enrollment feel personal rather than transactional. You'll report to the Head of Admissions while working closely with the local GM to support campus growth from day one.
This role isn't about pushing a product. It's about helping families make one of the most important decisions they'll make for their kids — with honesty, care, and genuine follow-through.
Conduct in-person parent meetings with prospective families, meeting them at times and locations that work for them.
Host campus tours and open houses in collaboration with campus staff, so educators can stay focused on students instead of spending extra hours on admissions-driven activities.
Represent Primer at community events, building authentic local presence and trust.
Maintain rigorous scheduling, communication, and follow-up in Salesforce/Groove — full alignment with central admissions processes is non-negotiable.
Serve as a local ambassador for Primer, helping every family feel genuinely welcomed and informed as they explore enrollment.
Surface patterns from family conversations back to the central admissions team — if you're hearing the same objections or questions repeatedly, that's signal worth sharing.
Sales, admissions, or customer-facing experience — ideally in an educational setting — with a track record of building relationships and hitting goals.
Comfort with CRM and sales engagement platforms (Salesforce/Groove experience a plus).
Strong communication and presentation skills; you can read the room and adjust for a first-generation family as easily as you can for a well-resourced one.
Genuine ease with in-person relationship-building — you're energized by community, not drained by it.
The discipline to work autonomously on the ground while staying tightly aligned with centralized leadership and process.
Flexibility to work some evenings and weekends to meet families where their lives are.
A collaborative instinct — you work well across functions and know when to loop in the GM, when to loop in admissions, and when to just handle it.
Deep alignment with Primer's mission: accessible, affordable, excellent education for every family in America.
You're most comfortable when leads come to you — this role requires active outreach and community presence.
You prefer to work within a large, stable team structure rather than operate as a local point of contact with distributed support.
You find it difficult to hold the line on process (Salesforce hygiene, follow-up cadences) when things get busy.
You believe great admissions is primarily a marketing or brand problem; we think it's a relationship and trust problem.
You'd struggle representing a model that's still evolving — Primer is building something new, and you need to be honest with families about that.

It's about helping families make one of the most important decisions they'll make for their kids — with honesty, care, and genuine follow-through.\n\n\n\nRESPONSIBILITIES\n\n - Conduct in-person parent meetings with prospective families, meeting them at times and locations that work for them.\n\n - Host campus tours and open houses in collaboration with campus staff, so educators can stay focused on students instead of spending extra hours on admissions-driven activities.\n\n - Represent Primer at community events, building authentic local presence and trust.\n\n - Maintain rigorous scheduling, communication, and follow-up in Salesforce/Groove — full alignment with central admissions processes is non-negotiable.\n\n - Serve as a local ambassador for Primer, helping every family feel genuinely welcomed and informed as they explore enrollment.\n\n - Surface patterns from family conversations back to the central admissions team — if you're hearing the same objections or questions repeatedly, that's signal worth sharing.\n\n \n\n\nWHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR\n\n - Sales, admissions, or customer-facing experience — ideally in an educational setting — with a track record of building relationships and hitting goals.\n\n - Comfort with CRM and sales engagement platforms (Salesforce/Groove experience a plus).\n\n - Strong communication and presentation skills; you can read the room and adjust for a first-generation family as easily as you can for a well-resourced one.\n\n - Genuine ease with in-person relationship-building — you're energized by community, not drained by it.\n\n - The discipline to work autonomously on the ground while staying tightly aligned with centralized leadership and process.\n\n - Flexibility to work some evenings and weekends to meet families where their lives are.\n\n - A collaborative instinct — you work well across functions and know when to loop in the GM, when to loop in admissions, and when to just handle it.\n\n - Deep alignment with Primer's mission: accessible, affordable, excellent education for every family in America.\n\n \n\n\nWHY THIS ROLE MAY NOT BE A FIT\n\n - You're most comfortable when leads come to you — this role requires active outreach and community presence.\n\n - You prefer to work within a large, stable team structure rather than operate as a local point of contact with distributed support.\n\n - You find it difficult to hold the line on process (Salesforce hygiene, follow-up cadences) when things get busy.\n\n - You believe great admissions is primarily a marketing or brand problem; we think it's a relationship and trust problem.\n\n - You'd struggle representing a model that's still evolving — Primer is building something new, and you need to be honest with families about that.\n\nPrimer is a mission-first company. We believe our mission is the highest-leverage way we can create positive change. In service of that, we keep work centered on mission execution and avoid social or political activism at work that’s unrelated to the mission. If that energizes you, we’d love to see you apply."},{"id":"61bcea92-78b7-47df-9ee3-fb75cc6523e5","title":"Assistant Teacher (Primer Guide) | Alabama","department":"Education","team":"Schools","employmentType":"FullTime","location":"Alabama","secondaryLocations":[{"location":"Birmingham","address":{"postalAddress":{"addressRegion":"Alabama","addressCountry":"US","addressLocality":"Birmingham"}}},{"location":"Montgomery","address":{"postalAddress":{"addressRegion":"Alabama","addressCountry":"United States","addressLocality":"Montgomery"}}},{"location":"Dothan, Alabama","address":{"postalAddress":{"postalCode":"36303","addressRegion":"Alabama","streetAddress":"1001 Montana St","addressCountry":"United States","addressLocality":"Dothan"}}},{"location":"Huntsville","address":{"postalAddress":{"addressRegion":"Alabama","addressCountry":"United States","addressLocality":"Huntsville"}}},{"location":"Mobile","address":{"postalAddress":{"addressRegion":"Alabama","addressCountry":"United States","addressLocality":"Mobile"}}}],"publishedAt":"2026-04-20T17:05:51.621+00:00","isListed":true,"isRemote":false,"workplaceType":"OnSite","address":{"postalAddress":{"addressRegion":"Alabama","addressCountry":"United States"}},"jobUrl":"https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/primer/61bcea92-78b7-47df-9ee3-fb75cc6523e5","applyUrl":"https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/primer/61bcea92-78b7-47df-9ee3-fb75cc6523e5/application","descriptionHtml":"Primer is a growing network of K–8 schools restoring the timeless foundations of American education.

Inspired by the original teaching primers that shaped a nation of readers, thinkers, and builders, our schools begin with what has always worked, and build for what lies ahead. Close-knit learning environments. Skilled educators. A culture that takes kids seriously as learners and leaders.
Primers shaped the first 200 years of American children. Primer will ready them for the next.
We're looking for a Product Manager to help build the software, AI, and data layer that powers how Primer operates.
As Primer grows, our biggest challenge is operating many more excellent schools without scaling people and bureaucracy alongside them. That efficiency is what keeps Primer affordable for every family. This role is about turning the messy, magical reality of schools into systems that make Primer more consistent, more scalable, and more human. Every minute we give back to a teacher is a minute spent with kids.
This role is based in our San Francisco office, working closely with product, engineering, operations, and academic teams — and spending time inside our schools with teachers, understanding how they actually work.
You’ll join a small, high-ownership team that works close to students, families, educators, and operators. We value clear thinking, honest feedback, strong craft, and a bias toward action.
You’ll work closely with design, engineering, and school operators to solve problems that have never been solved before. The goal is to build simple, intuitive, and joyful experiences for all our users and scale our products for our next phase of growth.
Primer faces some of the hardest (and most exciting!) problems in education. You'll take the daily reality of running schools and turn it into simple, useful products. That might mean building systems that help teams understand campus health, surface issues before they escalate, reduce administrative work for educators, or help operators make better decisions across a growing network.
You'll own the Operations product portfolio, from strategy and discovery through launch, adoption, and iteration. You’ll spend time with campus leaders, market teams, educators, and central operators to understand where work breaks down, then partner with Design and Engineering to solve it. Expect to run time studies on campus and obsess over the 30 seconds tech can hand back to a teacher.
You’ll be expected to form a point of view quickly, make tradeoffs with imperfect information, and keep things moving as you learn.
Your job is to answer questions like:
How do we operate 10x more schools with only 2x the operational headcount?
How do we know when a campus needs support before it becomes obvious?
How can AI reduce repetitive work while strengthening human judgment?
How do we make school operations feel lighter, clearer, and more consistent for the people doing the work?
As one of the early product leaders at Primer, you'll help set the standards for how we build products, how we use AI, and how software changes the way our schools operate.
5+ years of product management experience.
Experience building products for complex, physical workflows.
Strong ownership. You can take an ambiguous problem, figure out what matters, make decisions, and drive it through adoption and impact.
Resourceful and creative. You generate options, find scrappy ways to learn, and don’t need a large team or perfect process to make progress.
Comfort working in messy, real-world environments. You like sitting with operators, watching how work actually happens, and finding the hidden bottlenecks.
Analytical enough to reason from data, practical enough to know when the truth is in the field.
Strong opinions, loosely held. You can develop and defend a point of view, but you actively look for evidence that you’re wrong and change your mind when the facts change.
Clear writing and structured thinking.
Excited to work on-site in San Francisco.
Something Extra: We value diverse backgrounds — whether in education, healthcare, logistics, marketplaces, compliance, field operations, or something entirely different. Anything that taught you how complex human systems really work.
We're building something really hard — a new school system. The product challenges are incredibly varied and you'll use every skill in your toolkit. Watch our CEO Ryan talk about the inspiration, the challenges, and the impact we're having: YouTube Interview.
As a fast-growing startup, we offer salary commensurate with experience, plus significant equity and comprehensive benefits including 100% health insurance, life insurance, and daily lunch.
Primer is a mission-first company. We believe our mission is the highest-leverage way we can create positive change. In service of that, we keep work centered on mission execution and avoid social or political activism at work that’s unrelated to the mission. If that energizes you, we’d love to see you apply.
","descriptionPlain":"\nABOUT PRIMER\n\nPrimer is a growing network of K–8 schools restoring the timeless foundations of American education. Inspired by the original teaching primers that shaped a nation of readers, thinkers, and builders, our schools begin with what has always worked, and build for what lies ahead. Close-knit learning environments. Skilled educators. A culture that takes kids seriously as learners and leaders.\n\nPrimers shaped the first 200 years of American children. Primer will ready them for the next.\n\n\n\n\nROLE OVERVIEW\n\nWe're looking for a Product Manager to help build the software, AI, and data layer that powers how Primer operates.\n\nAs Primer grows, our biggest challenge is operating many more excellent schools without scaling people and bureaucracy alongside them. That efficiency is what keeps Primer affordable for every family. This role is about turning the messy, magical reality of schools into systems that make Primer more consistent, more scalable, and more human. Every minute we give back to a teacher is a minute spent with kids.\n\nThis role is based in our San Francisco office, working closely with product, engineering, operations, and academic teams — and spending time inside our schools with teachers, understanding how they actually work.\n\nYou’ll join a small, high-ownership team that works close to students, families, educators, and operators. We value clear thinking, honest feedback, strong craft, and a bias toward action.\n\nYou’ll work closely with design, engineering, and school operators to solve problems that have never been solved before. The goal is to build simple, intuitive, and joyful experiences for all our users and scale our products for our next phase of growth.\n\n \n\n\nWHAT YOU'LL DO\n\nPrimer faces some of the hardest (and most exciting!) problems in education. You'll take the daily reality of running schools and turn it into simple, useful products. That might mean building systems that help teams understand campus health, surface issues before they escalate, reduce administrative work for educators, or help operators make better decisions across a growing network.\n\nYou'll own the Operations product portfolio, from strategy and discovery through launch, adoption, and iteration. You’ll spend time with campus leaders, market teams, educators, and central operators to understand where work breaks down, then partner with Design and Engineering to solve it. Expect to run time studies on campus and obsess over the 30 seconds tech can hand back to a teacher.\n\nYou’ll be expected to form a point of view quickly, make tradeoffs with imperfect information, and keep things moving as you learn.\n\nYour job is to answer questions like:\n\n - How do we operate 10x more schools with only 2x the operational headcount?\n\n - How do we know when a campus needs support before it becomes obvious?\n\n - How can AI reduce repetitive work while strengthening human judgment?\n\n - How do we make school operations feel lighter, clearer, and more consistent for the people doing the work?\n\nAs one of the early product leaders at Primer, you'll help set the standards for how we build products, how we use AI, and how software changes the way our schools operate.\n\n \n\n\nWHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR\n\n - 5+ years of product management experience.\n\n - Experience building products for complex, physical workflows.\n\n - Strong ownership.

Contribute to and help shape the Mondrian design system.
Design beyond the screen: campus signage, interior spaces and marketing assets
Help set Primer's design standards and raise the ceiling of the team as it grows.
5+ years of experience as Product Designer
An exceptionally polished portfolio
A track record of owning projects end-to-end, from concept through launch.
A strong sense of language and consistency
Comfort balancing insight with intuition. You can commit to a direction without waiting for formal research to hand you the answer.
Strength bringing clarity to big, ambiguous problem spaces
Comfortable presenting to executives, board members, investors and non-tech stakeholders
Experience using AI tools to prototype and convey designs is a plus
High EQ. You work well with people who aren't designers, take feedback in a room full of them, and can read what students, families, and teachers actually need.

Inspired by the original teaching primers that shaped a nation of readers, thinkers, and builders, our schools begin with what has always worked, and build for what lies ahead. Close-knit learning environments. Skilled educators. A culture that takes kids seriously as learners and leaders.
Primers shaped the first 200 years of American children. Primer will ready them for the next.
Primer has all the makings of an iconic brand: a big vision to solve one of the hardest problems in America, real stories of lives we’ve changed across the country, and strong cultural tailwinds pushing us forward. We hear from parents, educators, legislators, and community leaders every day about the lives we’re changing — from families who felt stuck in the traditional system and now see their child thriving at Primer, to parents who “feel like they have their child back” after a few months at Primer.
Your job is to harness this momentum and craft a brand that millions of families from all walks of life trust with the most important decision they make each year: their child’s school.
You will own the entire surface area of Primer’s marketing — from our big-picture narrative to individual brand assets across visual design, photography, film content, and copy. You’ll inherit our existing brand systems, which you see today across Primer.com, and be tasked with growing this foundation into the future of Primer’s brand.
There are three unique challenges in this role:
First, our brand must be both aspirational and accessible. Most education brands opt for pure exclusivity or pure accessibility, but that won’t work for Primer.
Second, we are a central marketing & brand org with dozens (and soon hundreds) of local Primers. These campuses are the primary way families experience the Primer brand post-enrollment, and nailing the local manifestation of our brand will require systems that scale down to (and empower) those working at the campus level.
Finally, you’ll need to develop (or have) a nuanced intuition for how Primer should fit into the overall education ecosystem. Education is tough, riddled with many strong opinions, which presents both a challenge and an opportunity. If you shape our public perception with conviction — and succeed — you will have crafted one of the all-time great American brands.
Define what Primer stands for. Codify what Primer means to parents, educators, and the community.
Build the local engine. How quickly we enroll students in each new Primer — the 'enrollment ramp' as we call it internally — is the most sensitive variable in our expansion motion. You'll build the repeatable field marketing system that steepens this curve: open houses, local social proof, and dozens ideas we haven't yet thought of. Most importantly, you'll hand this engine to campus teams to execute locally.
Build the referral system that turns happy parents into growth channels.
Build the operating system that dials in every public-facing artifact we ship. You'll fight the approval-chain-by-vibes with clear standards and (quick) checks against them.
Partner with Growth, Admissions, and Product to establish the messaging, identity, and creative standards used across marketing, admissions, and the product experience, enabling each team to execute within those standards.
Lay the groundwork for employer brand and PR, so our story lands with parents, future staff, and the public alike.
Experience marketing to parents or families. You’ve built brands that feel both aspirational and accessible, and understand what it takes to connect with everyday American families.
You've worked in a multi-site business. Lots of locations, one brand, every one needing to feel local. You've lived that problem and solved some version of it.
You've built a marketing function from zero to 1. If you've only inherited or maintained a marketing motion, this role isn't for you.
A crisp writer and editor with taste. You can set the voice and language standards and enforce them.
Authenticity. We take families, students, and the teachers who serve them seriously. You'll make sure the brand does too, in every community we're in.
You're a performance marketer at heart. Our paid marketing motion lives under our growth function and is already a high-performing machine. This role will partner on all things brand, creative, and non-paid channels — positioning, local launch, referral, creative, and more.
You want a pure-play exec role. This may grow into that. Today it's a hands-on player-coach role.

Primers shaped the first 200 years of American children. Primer will ready them for the next.
Every new Primer campus starts as an empty building in a city where we've never operated. Someone has to turn it into a school fast: pass code, fit the budget, and feel like Primer the moment a kid walks in. That's you. This isn't a support role bolted onto real estate. The pace we open campuses at depends on how fast and how well you can run this process, and the standards you set here get reused at every campus after it.
Site feasibility and pre-construction
Before Primer signs a lease, you've already run the numbers. You'll lead code analysis and zoning review, coordinate traffic and parking studies, run test fits and space programming, and make the go/no-go call on new sites. You'll also build the diligence playbook, so the next site evaluation takes days, not weeks.
Permitting and project management
You'll manage permitting across jurisdictions: building permits, fire life safety, ADA, zoning variances, change of use. You'll run the civil engineers, FLS specialists, and local architects of record on each project, and you'll know the code officials and inspectors in each city well enough that they pick up when you call. You'll juggle several projects at different stages without dropping a deadline.
FF&E and product specification
You'll research and spec the furniture, equipment, and branded materials that go into every Primer campus. You'll build a vendor list and product catalog other teams can order from. And you'll find the value engineering wins that save money without cutting corners on the student experience.
5+ years in architectural project management, interior design, or something close, with real ownership from design through construction
Experience building design standards or prototypes for multi-location rollout (a big plus)
Background in schools, retail, or hospitality, anywhere physical space matters to the people using it
Deep knowledge of building codes, ADA, fire life safety, zoning, and permitting across multiple jurisdictions
Fluency in 3D Modeling Software, Adobe Creative Cloud, Adobe InDesign, Autodesk Revit, Bluebeam, or equivalent, plus comfort with project management tools (Asana)
You'll be producing the standards and playbooks other people build from
The ability to run multiple projects and vendors at once without losing a thread
You want to design one beautiful building and live in it for a year. This role moves fast across many sites at once, and nothing sits still long enough for that kind of depth.
You'd rather hand off permitting and consultant management to someone else. Here, you're the one chasing the inspector and keeping the civil engineer on schedule.
You need a finished playbook to work from. Part of the job is building that playbook as you go, so some of it will be genuinely undefined when you start.

Every new Primer campus starts as an empty building in a city where we've never operated.

The pace we open campuses at depends on how fast and how well you can run this process, and the standards you set here get reused at every campus after it.
Site feasibility and pre-construction
Before Primer signs a lease, you've already run the numbers. You'll lead code analysis and zoning review, coordinate traffic and parking studies, run test fits and space programming, and make the go/no-go call on new sites. You'll also build the diligence playbook, so the next site evaluation takes days, not weeks.
Permitting and project management
You'll manage permitting across jurisdictions: building permits, fire life safety, ADA, zoning variances, change of use. You'll run the civil engineers, FLS specialists, and local architects of record on each project, and you'll know the code officials and inspectors in each city well enough that they pick up when you call. You'll juggle several projects at different stages without dropping a deadline.
FF&E and product specification
You'll research and spec the furniture, equipment, and branded materials that go into every Primer campus. You'll build a vendor list and product catalog other teams can order from. And you'll find the value engineering wins that save money without cutting corners on the student experience.
5+ years in architectural project management, interior design, or something close, with real ownership from design through construction
Experience building design standards or prototypes for multi-location rollout (a big plus)
Background in schools, retail, or hospitality, anywhere physical space matters to the people using it
Deep knowledge of building codes, ADA, fire life safety, zoning, and permitting across multiple jurisdictions
Fluency in 3D Modeling Software, Adobe Creative Cloud, Adobe InDesign, Autodesk Revit, Bluebeam, or equivalent, plus comfort with project management tools (Asana)
You'll be producing the standards and playbooks other people build from
The ability to run multiple projects and vendors at once without losing a thread

As Primer’s Revenue Operations Lead, you will own the systems, processes, and reporting that move a family from their first interaction with Primer through their first day of school.
You will own Salesforce, HubSpot, our calling technology, and the reporting that the Growth team uses to manage enrollment performance. You will serve as the daily operating partner to the Head of Growth and act as the connective point between Marketing, Admissions, Product, and other cross-functional partners, creating one reliable view of the enrollment funnel.
This is a hands-on builder role. You will redesign our lead flow using native platform capabilities, establish the rhythm-of-business reporting that informs our decisions, and maintain a prioritized roadmap of the revenue-system problems most worth solving.
This role has no direct reports today, but the function may grow underneath you as Primer scales.
Own our revenue systems
Own Salesforce, HubSpot, and the broader revenue technology stack, including architecture, administration, integrations, governance, and ongoing optimization
Maintain strong data quality, clear system documentation, and consistent operating standards
Translate business needs into technical requirements and prioritize solutions with Growth, Admissions, Marketing, and Product
Lead testing, validation, deployment, and adoption for system enhancements
Redesign the enrollment engine
Redesign our lead flow so each inquiry is routed correctly and the right source, campaign, campus, and family context reaches Admissions before the first conversation
Move critical workflows away from middleware and toward reliable native platform integrations
Evaluate, select, and implement Primer’s next calling and communications platform
Improve lead routing, attribution, funnel visibility, and lifecycle-stage governance across systems
Build the operating system for growth
Build and maintain reporting across the full funnel, from lead generation through enrollment and the first day of school
Establish the weekly and monthly reporting used to evaluate performance, diagnose funnel issues, and make resource decisions
Bring clear insights and recommendations to monthly business reviews
Build forecasting and capacity-management tools in partnership with the Head of Growth
Create one trusted view of performance across Marketing, Admissions, and campus capacity
Improve how the team operates
Turn the practices of our strongest Admissions representatives into a documented playbook library that Admissions leadership can use for coaching and enablement
Run a weekly operating cadence with Marketing, Admissions, Product, and other key partners
Maintain a standing roadmap of system and process improvements, supported by research, impact assessments, and clear recommendations
Proactively identify broken processes and bring forward solutions, not just status updates
What you’ll accomplish in your first 90 days
Map and document Primer’s full lead-flow and revenue-system architecture alongside the current systems owner
Identify the highest-risk gaps in routing, attribution, integrations, reporting, and data quality
Align with the Head of Growth and key stakeholders on the future-state design
Ship the first phase of the lead-flow and integration migration
Launch the first version of Primer’s rhythm-of-business reporting and establish a weekly review cadence
Publish a prioritized revenue operations roadmap with researched recommendations, expected impact, and proposed sequencing
Deep, hands-on experience with both Salesforce and HubSpot, including relevant certifications
A track record of personally building and administering systems, not solely managing vendors or designing from a distance
Experience building or rebuilding a revenue engine within an early-stage or rapidly scaling company
Previous experience leading a sales or customer-facing team, with a clear understanding of how systems affect representative performance and customer experience
Experience supporting high-consideration consumer sales, where customers are making a significant and personal decision
Strong understanding of lead routing, attribution, lifecycle stages, data architecture, reporting, and funnel management
The ability to turn ambiguous business problems into clear requirements, prioritized solutions, and shipped improvements
A solutions-oriented approach: when presented with several broken points, you research the options and return with a recommendation
A systems mindset: you naturally think about where a lead enters, what information travels with it, how it changes over time, and what the representative needs to see
Nice to have
Experience evaluating and implementing CTI or calling platforms
Sales enablement or playbook-development experience
Experience building forecasting, staffing, or capacity models
Experience supporting a multi-location or geographically distributed organization

Close-knit learning environments. Skilled educators. A culture that takes kids seriously as learners and leaders.
Primers shaped the first 200 years of American children. Primer will ready them for the next.
As an Admissions Representative, you'll be the human face of Primer for prospective families — the person who meets them where they are, earns their trust, and helps them understand why Primer is different.
We're building education for every family in America, not just the ones who find us easily. That means showing up in person, adapting to family schedules, and doing the relationship-building work that makes enrollment feel personal rather than transactional. You'll report to the Head of Admissions while working closely with the local GM to support campus growth from day one.
This role isn't about pushing a product. It's about helping families make one of the most important decisions they'll make for their kids — with honesty, care, and genuine follow-through.
Conduct in-person parent meetings with prospective families, meeting them at times and locations that work for them.
Host campus tours and open houses in collaboration with campus staff, so educators can stay focused on students instead of spending extra hours on admissions-driven activities.
Represent Primer at community events, building authentic local presence and trust.
Maintain rigorous scheduling, communication, and follow-up in Salesforce/Groove — full alignment with central admissions processes is non-negotiable.
Serve as a local ambassador for Primer, helping every family feel genuinely welcomed and informed as they explore enrollment.
Surface patterns from family conversations back to the central admissions team — if you're hearing the same objections or questions repeatedly, that's signal worth sharing.
Sales, admissions, or customer-facing experience — ideally in an educational setting — with a track record of building relationships and hitting goals.
Comfort with CRM and sales engagement platforms (Salesforce/Groove experience a plus).
Strong communication and presentation skills; you can read the room and adjust for a first-generation family as easily as you can for a well-resourced one.
Genuine ease with in-person relationship-building — you're energized by community, not drained by it.
The discipline to work autonomously on the ground while staying tightly aligned with centralized leadership and process.
Flexibility to work some evenings and weekends to meet families where their lives are.
A collaborative instinct — you work well across functions and know when to loop in the GM, when to loop in admissions, and when to just handle it.
Deep alignment with Primer's mission: accessible, affordable, excellent education for every family in America.
You're most comfortable when leads come to you — this role requires active outreach and community presence.
You prefer to work within a large, stable team structure rather than operate as a local point of contact with distributed support.
You find it difficult to hold the line on process (Salesforce hygiene, follow-up cadences) when things get busy.
You believe great admissions is primarily a marketing or brand problem; we think it's a relationship and trust problem.
You'd struggle representing a model that's still evolving — Primer is building something new, and you need to be honest with families about that.
Primer is a mission-first company. We believe our mission is the highest-leverage way we can create positive change. In service of that, we keep work centered on mission execution and avoid social or political activism at work that’s unrelated to the mission. If that energizes you, we’d love to see you apply.

The Role
Primer is looking to hire a Senior Accountant to help lead our Finance department into the next step of its evolution. You will own revenue recognition, lead our multi-entity consolidations, review AP, and jump into finance projects as we grow across a network that runs on PrimerOS. You'll report to the Controller and work closely with our CFO. This is a hands-on seat, not an oversight-only one.
What You’ll Do
Own monthly revenue recognition across our revenue streams (state scholarship/agency, tuition, aftercare, credits) under ASC 606, including deferred revenue schedules that tie to the GL.
Lead monthly consolidations across our state entities into one corporate roll-up, including flux analysis, inter-company eliminations, and tie-outs.
Review AP: card and bill coding, vendor reconciliations, and month-end accruals prepared by the broader team.
Run point on finance projects: new entity/campus setup, process builds, and ad hoc analysis for the Controller and CFO.
Work daily in Cowork (Claude) alongside NetSuite, Ramp, and Google Sheets: pulling data, building tie-outs, and automating the parts of close that shouldn't take up a person's time. It's been months since our team closed a set of books without it.
What You’ll Bring
4+ years of accounting experience; CPA or actively pursuing preferred, though not mandatory.
Big 4 or public company experience and familiarity with processes and controls is preferred.
Real ASC 606 and multi-entity consolidation experience - you’ve closed multi-state or multi-entity books before.
NetSuite (or similar ERP) and advanced Excel/Sheets fluency.
AI-forward: process-building, utilization of AI for analysis and comfortability creating processes and automation.
Primer is a mission-first company. We believe our mission is the highest-leverage way we can create positive change. In service of that, we keep work centered on mission execution and avoid social or political activism at work that’s unrelated to the mission. If that energizes you, we’d love to see you apply.

About the role
You run a Primer campus and you teach in it. Every day you lead a cohort of kids through reading, writing, and math, and you keep the whole building running. You're the quarterback of your classroom and the person families come to when they need something.
The work takes ownership and judgment. You'll make a lot of calls on your own, and you'll be trusted to make them well. You take kids seriously. You build real relationships with families. You create a campus that feels steady and joyful every day.
What you'll do
Teach
Lead daily lessons in reading, writing, and math. In K–2 you teach in small groups. In 3–8 you teach literacy and coach kids through an individualized digital math curriculum alongside our Content Teachers.
Know where every kid is at in their learning journey: pacing, mastery, where they're stuck.
Run Pursuits, Primer's hands-on curriculum that blends science and social studies.
Review student data every week and adjust.
Run the campus
Own daily operations and keep the building on schedule.
Handle scheduling, substitute coverage, and aftercare.
Lead daily staff check-ins and weekly team communication.

Build trust with every family and know them by name.
Handle concerns directly, before they grow.
Lead parent conferences through the year.
Host family events and keep communication clear and consistent.
Run campus tours for prospective families and support admissions.
Keep the campus safe and steady
Create a predictable, well-run environment every single day.
Follow every safety procedure, including drills and incident protocols.
Keep the campus organized and set up for learning.
Hold the routines that make the day work, including uniforms.
Work as a team
Communicate early and often with families and teammates.
Ask questions early instead of assuming.
Take feedback well and act on it.
Keep a calm, consistent presence the whole campus can lean on.
What success looks like
90%+ student and family retention.
A safe, consistent, well-run campus.
Kids making real academic progress you can see in the data.
Families and kids who say they're glad they're here.
What we're looking for
A bachelor's degree or higher.
3+ years teaching or leading K–8 kids, whether as a lead teacher, a homeschooling parent, or a childcare provider. Real classroom experience is essential.
Strong communication with kids, families, and teammates.
The ability to create a calm, structured, positive room.
Organization. You keep routines running without being reminded.
Comfort using technology to teach and track progress.
Good judgment when things move fast.
A collaborator who problem-solves with the team and asks early.
A proactive read on problems. You fix small things before they get big.
Why this role might not be for you
You need a big team or a lot of direction.
You avoid hard conversations.
You resist technology.
