About Kiddom

Kiddom is a groundbreaking educational platform that promotes student equity and growth by uniting high-quality instructional materials with dynamic digital learning. Through unparalleled curriculum management functionality, Kiddom empowers schools and districts to take ownership of their curriculum – resulting in learning experiences tailored to meet the unique needs and goals of local communities. Kiddom’s high-quality curriculum is layered with robust teacher and leader data insights to drive the continuous improvement of instructional decisions, school/district programming, and professional learning.

About the Role

As Kiddom’s Director, Referral Partnerships, you will work to establish and deepen relationships with organizations in the K-12 district consulting, professional learning (PL), and intervention spaces, ultimately developing new channel sales opportunities for our supplemental offerings, including assessments, tutoring, and Kiddom Atlas. Kiddom has active relationships with many of the leading organizations in this space already; this role will be about formalizing and commercializing those relationships, resulting in a structured channel program that generates revenue, expands our reach, and creates a path to core curriculum adoption.

The right candidate moves quickly, builds commercial trust with external partners, and knows how to build a program that drives results without creating conflict with direct sales teams. You will work closely with Go-to-Market, Legal, and Product to ensure every partnership is commercially sound, operationally clean, and positioned to convert supplemental activity into long-term core curriculum purchases.
