Job Description

Are you a former principal, assistant principal, ELA or curriculum leader who wants to keep making a difference in literacy, from a new angle? Apply to join our growing team of former educators, literacy experts, and product innovators committed to changing what's possible in early literacy.

At Just Right Reader, we work alongside schools and districts across the country to improve early literacy through decodable texts grounded in the Science of Reading. We create decodable books that are engaging and effective. Most importantly, kids actually enjoy reading them.

This is an opportunity to support other leaders in advancing reading outcomes at scale.

What You'll Do :

• Build strong, trusted relationships with school and district leaders
• Actively generate new opportunities by identifying leads, making outreach, and developing a robust pipeline
• Own the full sales cycle from first conversation through signed agreement
• Deeply understand local literacy priorities, funding sources, and district goals to position Just Right Reader as the right solution
