Product Manager, Districts

Headquarters: Remote ClassDojo's goal is to give every child on Earth an education they love.We started by building a powerful network for communication. ClassDojo’s flagship app is the #1 communication app connecting K-8 teachers, children, and families globally. Teachers use it to share what’s happening throughout the day through photos, videos, and messages that make parents feel like they’re there. It’s actively used in over 95% of US schools, reaching over 50 million children in 180 countries, with a team of just around 250 people.We can achieve this impact because we hire for talent density. Our team comprises the most talented, entrepreneurial, and innovative teammates from around the world, with experience in education and top consumer internet training grounds, including Instagram, Lyft, Dropbox, Stripe, Airbnb, Y Combinator, and more. We’re building a company where the most talented people want to work. We believe you’ll do the best work of your life here—and you’ll pioneer the future of education, too.About ClassDojo for DistrictsClassDojo is a $1bn+ company that initially grew bottoms‑up through teachers and school leaders. However, more recently, districts are making decisions about family communications at the District level. So, we started a GTM motion for Districts and are building product features for District Leaders (e.g. rostering, SSO, District → Parent announcements).
