Are you someone who sees challenges as invitations and believes your potential is limitless? As a Regional Partnership Manager at SmartLab, you’ll lead the full sales cycle for K–12 education customers while also forging mission-driven partnerships with foundations, corporations, and social impact organizations. You’ll learn how to navigate the intersection of education, equity, and innovation—supported by a team that values collaboration, curiosity, and courage. You’ll work alongside educators, changemakers, and passionate colleagues who believe deeply in the power of hands-on, inclusive learning. And most importantly, your work will directly expand access to STEM education for students who’ve historically been left out of the conversation.
