Innovamat is an educational organization specializing in mathematics education. Founded in Barcelona in 2017, Innovamat provides schools with a complete, research-based math program covering Early Childhood through Secondary Education, grounded in research across mathematics education, cognition, and neuroscience.

Innovamat also partners with leading thinkers and researchers in mathematics education, including Peter Liljedahl, author of Building Thinking Classrooms, and Brian Butterworth, a leading researcher in mathematical cognition and dyscalculia, bringing world-class expertise and perspectives into our broader work.

Our program integrates curriculum, teacher training, assessment, and intervention into a single coherent system. Today, Innovamat is present in 9 countries, partnering with 31,000+ teachers across 3,300+ schools and reaching more than 720,000 students. We are one of the few organizations in the sector with independently validated efficacy data from external research institutions, and the first non-American organization to pass the California State Board of Education adoption process for a core math curriculum.

Our Growth & Strategy Lead role sits at the intersection of strategy, commercial growth, and execution. You’ll work closely with our VP, Strategy & Development on strategic priorities — while also being close to the market: building relationships with district leaders, owning territory strategy, helping shape our GTM motion, and identifying opportunities for market expansion. It’s a role for someone who genuinely enjoys zooming out to think strategically and zooming in to understand the customer, test ideas, and make things happen.

You’ll have the opportunity to shape how we grow in the US while staying close to the schools, districts, and educators we serve — and see the impact of your work firsthand.
