Job description

Overview :

Are you a high-energy sales leader who thrives in fast-paced environments? Are you ready to make an immediate impact by driving transformative change in K-12 education? Nerdy is looking for a bold, driven, and persuasive Director of Educational Partnerships to join our Varsity Tutors for Schools team and accelerate growth and deepen our presence in school districts in California. If you've successfully sold into multiple school districts, know how to close deals with urgency, and love diving deep into innovative products, this is your chance to shine.

About Nerdy :

At Nerdy (NYSE : NRDY) - the company behind Varsity Tutors - we're redrawing the blueprint of learning. Our Live + AI™ platform fuses real-time human expertise with proprietary generative-AI systems, setting a new bar for measurable academic impact at global scale.

We recruit the kind of technologists and operators you'd bet on as solo founders - people who turn ambiguous problems into shipping code, iterate faster than markets move, and compound their advantage with every data point. In an era where great employees can deliver 10-times the leverage of the merely good, we back those who play to win.

Fortune favors the bold. Join us.

How we compete :

  • AI-Native at every level From the CEO to day-one hires, everyone builds and ships with generative AI. If you're not wielding AI, you're not done.
  • Entrepreneurial velocity Move at founder speed, prototype in hours, and measure in real user outcomes. Slow teams die.
  • Free-market rigor Ideas rise or fall on merit and results - no committees, no politics, no cap on upside.
  • Full-stack ownership You design, build, and run what you ship; accountability is a feature, not a bug.
  • Reward for contribution Pay rises with impact, not years. Outstanding results earn outsized rewards. We evaluate both what you achieve and how you achieve it : living our leadership principles and using AI effectively are formally measured and rewarded.
  • Relentless exploration Push the frontier of generative AI in live learning and - because only the paranoid survive - questioning every legacy assumption along the way.
  • Is Apolitical You stay focused on mission-aligned outcomes, not distractions or unrelated causes.

If you're a technically minded builder who thrives on open competition, personal responsibility, and the chance to redefine how the world learns - while continually stretching the limits of what generative AI can do - come do the most ambitious and rewarding work of your career here.
