**** Role

Summary:

**** The Fundraiser Success Manager ensures the success of fundraising campaigns launched on the Schoolfundr platform, working closely with the sales team to execute fundraisers that engage and energize school communities. Specialists oversee the lifecycle of fundraisers, from onboarding and preparation to launch and completion. They’ll work directly with coaches, teachers, and group leaders to guide them through proven strategies and inspire participants—often a room full of teenage students or a youth sports team—to take action.

A successful fundraiser not only achieves its goals but also drives referrals, repeat business, and new opportunities, directly contributing to Schoolfundr’s growth and impact. This role is ideal for energetic, engaging, and highly organized individuals who are passionate about helping students succeed, such as teachers looking to transition out of the classroom into edtech, ex-coaches, or professionals currently in ed-tech.
*** If you thrive on motivating others, are highly organized,  have a knack for rallying a team, and love seeing students achieve big wins, this role is for you.
