Partner Education Specialist

Ellevation is redefining how we empower the districts and educators we serve.

As our complete ELD solution expands, so does the need for intentional, high-quality education that helps partners adopt, implement, and realize value from our products.

The Partner Education Specialist is the foundation of that work.

This role sits within Partner Education and Digital Success in the Marketing organization and reports directly to the Manager of Partner Education.

You will deliver prepared learning experiences, build your facilitation and instructional design skills, and contribute to a team whose work directly shapes how districts succeed with Ellevation.

This role is a strong fit for someone with a K–12 education background who is ready to apply that expertise in a new context — one where your knowledge of ELD programs and educator needs translates directly into partner outcomes.

Strong preferences for individuals within the following time zones: Central Time, Mountain Time, or Pacific Time.

You are a confident educator and facilitator who thrives when helping others build confidence and competence with new tools and workflows.

You are dependable, curious, and committed to continuous improvement.

You take ownership of your sessions, follow through on commitments, and actively seek feedback to get better.

You are energized by working in a collaborative team environment, supporting cross‑functional partners, and contributing ideas that make the team’s work stronger.

You don’t need to have all the answers — you know when to ask for guidance and when to work through something independently.

About Us

At Ellevation, we develop world‑class software to help educators serve the fastest growing population of K‑12 students: English Learners (ELs).
