ABOUT US

SchoolStatus is a fast-growing software company dedicated to changing education forever by providing awesome tools for K-12 teachers and administrators. Our revolutionary software combines rich data analytics and easy-to-use parental engagement tools so teachers and parents can be more effective. 

We recently acquired Operoo who we are thrilled to say are now part of the SchoolStatus family. Operoo enables thousands of schools, clubs, and associations around the world to automate, manage, and track operational tasks from a single cloud-based platform.

As one united company, our ambition is to be the global leader in the education sector. Our aim is to provide our customers with access to a unified solution that can increase parent engagement, teacher satisfaction, and student outcomes.

We have a culture based around freedom and responsibility. We believe that as we grow, we should provide our employees with increased responsibility and freedom in their jobs. We aren’t hung up on titles or inane conference calls. We recruit and retain best-in-class talent and regularly judge all staff by the following premise: “would we enthusiastically rehire this person?”.

We’re an incredibly dedicated group of individuals who know our relevant areas of expertise very well, but we also know when we need help. We believe in the power of a group of highly motivated, intelligent, and responsible people surrounding themselves with the same and seeing what happens next. 

We started out as a napkin idea that has blossomed into a multi-million dollar enterprise by providing amazingly useful products to our customers and we want you to be a part of that.

ABOUT YOU

Throughout your career, you’ve been a “go getter” your managers and peers depend on to get the job done.

You enjoy meeting new people and building relationships with schools, not afraid to pick up the phone or talk to a stranger at a trade show. 

You are a self-starter who wants to join a company on a rocketship trajectory so you can unleash your natural ability to work with administrators and teachers to change education forever.

You obsess over details and take pride in doing an excellent job, no matter how big or small the task.

You work independently (meaning you don’t require constant instruction) but also know when to ask your teammates for help.

You’re a team player who shows up on time, doesn’t complain and has a positive can-do attitude.

You have a willingness to not give up, and strive to ensure your customers’ expectations are not only met, but exceeded.

You enjoy using and learning about new technologies whether education-based or beyond. 

You embrace the challenge of doing something you’ve probably never done before and believe, together, we have the means to change education forever.

(This is a biggie) You are looking to surround yourself with the smartest group of people you’ve ever worked with because you know they’ll help you step up your game…and you, theirs.
