About Panorama:

Panorama Education, based in Boston, is a fast-growing technology startup focused on radically improving education. Today, 900 school systems serving ten million students have adopted the Panorama platform as paying customers including the entire states of Iowa and Hawaii as well as large districts like New York City, San Francisco, and Dallas. School systems turn to Panorama to ensure that each child is getting the support they need, so that more students succeed in school, graduate, and go on to college. Panorama helps educators monitor how students are doing across academics, attendance, behavior, and college readiness, and then coordinate action to support each child. Panorama’s platform also helps educators collect data about non-academic factors that are key to each child’s success in school and in life, such as social-emotional skills, safety, teacher-student relationships, and family engagement. Panorama has raised $45 million from Emerson Collective, YCombinator, Spark Capital, Owl Ventures, Uncork, and others..

About the Role:

We're looking for a Client Success Manager, City and State Partners to join our growing team and support a portfolio of clients with best-in-class service. As a Client Success Manager, you will be a Panorama product expert, supporting your portfolio of clients to use our toolset, support technical customizations in the back end, and provide timeline support to ensure your clients launch projects successfully. 

You will ensure a smooth client experience by communicating effectively and delivering projects on time and error free. You will leverage your expertise to support clients from onboarding through ongoing engagement with data to improve student outcomes. The core impact of this role is in delivering stellar hands-on service to a subset of large districts that work with Panorama. In addition to using Panorama’s platforms, you’ll make considerable use of Excel, troubleshoot questions using your expert knowledge of Panorama’s products, and work closely with clients to align their needs and the best practices we’ve learned over the years. 

The number of clients you support in your portfolio will differ depending on size of district and level of complexity of the clients in your portfolio: we have portfolios of ~10-12 clients for our largest and most complex state and district partnerships and portfolios of ~20-35 clients for our mid-size and medium complexity district projects. The core work across these portfolio types remains consistent, with some additional responsibilities for portfolios of 10-12.

• Communicate effectively, professionally and with empathy with clients via phone calls and email to ensure that they have an exceptional customer experience. Organize and facilitate key virtual client touch points through conference or video calls throughout the project lifecycle, such as planning calls, calls to recommend survey content, and report calls to help clients understand and act on their data. 
• Onboard new clients and provide resources to help them navigate Panorama tools; introduce them to best practices and support them when they face technical challenges.
• Collaborate with our Product Education team to ensure clients have the resources they need to self serve within the platform. As needed, create custom resources and tools using PowerPoint, Pages, or Excel to ensure that clients effectively use Panorama’s tools.
• Collaborate with other team members to deliver projects on time, error-free, and in alignment with client vision.
• Submit technical support tickets to our Engineering team to address issues within the platform.
• Act as a voice of the customer internally to help the Panorama team better understand and improve client experience through our tools and services.
• For our largest state and district partnerships: travel ~1x per month to attend onsite client meetings, trainings, and executive level presentations. Note that Panorama employees are not traveling onsite to districts for the 2020-21 school year.
