Why You'll Love This Role: The Assessment Services team at Newsela works with strategic and key accounts supporting customer assessment needs end to end. The Assessment Services Specialist is a hands-on individual contributor role focused on delivering high-quality assessment services to assigned accounts. You’ll work day-to-day with district and school stakeholders and help turn assessment expertise into real customer value. What You'll Be Doing: Support implementation & onboarding. Help stand up Newsela’s assessment products for assigned accounts, including onboarding, configuration, and go-live support. Be the steady hand customers can count on during launch. Deliver ongoing advisory & support. Partner with customers to deepen their use of Newsela assessments. This may include score interpretation, surfacing additional assessment needs, data coaching, and usage reviews that drive renewal-worthy outcomes. Execute assessment migration & content work.

Bring patterns and signal from your customer work back to the team. Evidence over anecdotes. About You: A combination of 5+ years of experience in K-12 EdTech, assessment, and/or customer-facing professional services. An understanding of formative and/or interim assessments including how they’re built, how they’re used, and how educators actually make decisions from the data. Strong written and verbal communication; equally comfortable writing a clear customer email and walking a district leader through a data conversation. Organized and dependable. You manage multiple workstreams without dropping the ball and you’re proactive about flagging when something needs attention. Comfort with ambiguity. You’re a problem solver who can make progress without a fully defined playbook in front of you. A genuine interest in assessment, how educators use data to improve teaching and learning, how administrators use it to make decisions and how we can deepen our assessment relationship within each account you work with. You don’t need to be an expert yet — you do need to want to become one. Bonus points for Background as a former educator, instructional coach, or district-level assessment leader. Prior experience working on a services, implementation, or customer success team at an EdTech or assessment company. Exposure to additional types of assessment beyond formative and/or interim assessments and how they’re used in schools. Familiarity with standards frameworks, item-writing concepts, or psychometric basics. Experience working in a product-led organization where services and product partner closely.
