Why work at Boost My School?

1. Be proud of your impact helping schools and students

  • Openly view all company communication outside of personal matters – we mostly communicate over Slack public channels and Notion public wikis
  • Openly view company, team, and individual performance metrics
  • Use our weekly No Meetings Day to get uninterrupted work done (or to do your laundry while you work)

  • Receive regular professional development through weekly 1-on-1s and quarterly career check-ins
  • Get to know your remote teammates at our annual week-long in-person retreats and our optional coworking weeks

3. Join a culture that wants you to be your best self at work and outside of work

  • Internal meetings are scheduled during our core working hours (12pm to 4pm ET) so you have more flexibility over your time
  • Take care of errands or pick up your kids as long as you communicate accountability over the things you’re responsible for
  • Our company calendar is aligned with the school year – we have 15 company days off across major holidays and Summer Fridays
  • Outside of the 15 company days off, we suggest taking an additional 10 to 15 days off, and require taking 1 week of continuous time off per calendar year
  • Company covers medical, dental, and vision insurance premiums and out-of-pocket expenses through QSEHRA ($512/mo for individuals, up to $1,037/mo for those with families)
  • Use your remote working stipend ($200/mo) for your internet bill, to buy lunch, or for professional development
Responsibilities
  • Take on any type of internal, non-technical responsibilities to allow our CEO & Founder to be more strategic
  • Run weekly all-hands meetings, monthly team check-ins, quarterly coworking weeks, and our annual retreat
  • Create processes to manage OKRs, 1:1s, hiring, and performance reviews
  • Lead remote culture efforts like social events and virtual celebrations
  • Manage our internal wiki (Notion) and docs (Google Drive)
  • Support HR, finance, and legal responsibilities (Gusto, Quickbooks, Clerky)
  • Step in to support go-to-market operations (e.g. set up Hubspot CRM & automations)
  • Assist with financial models and monthly investor updates

  • 5+ years of experience in a strategic, operations, or finance role, with a preference for experience with B2B SaaS financials and operations
