Our mission is to give schools the power to incredibly enhance family engagement for all students. ParentSquare and RemindHub, our flagship products, serve over 22 million students and drive our mission by providing unified communications tools -forms, sign ups, payments, RSVPs, direct messaging, language translations, chat and more. Remind Chat, our free product, reaches over 80% of K-12 students, providing a safe and easy-to-use platform for direct communication between teachers and families. And our latest innovation, SmartSites, offers state-of-the-art websites for school districts, enhancing their online presence and accessibility.
We are not just creating a product; we are creating empowered educators and engaged parents to improve the lives of all students. We are passionate advocates for our customers and for our employees and we invite you to join us on this exciting journey.
Who We’re Looking For:
We are seeking a customer-centric, detailed-oriented Customer Success Manager, Payments to join our team supporting one of our newest products, ParentSquare Pay. In this role, you will act as the single, end-to-end owner for our ParentSquare Pay customers and accounts. You are both the technical expert who gets an account configured and onboarded, and the relationship owner who ensures that setup translates into active, sustained transacting usage. You won't hand the account off after go-live; you'll stay with your portfolio, proactively driving adoption, retention, and growth
Most importantly, you’re someone who shares in our passion for improving the lives of students through communication.
This role will include:
•
End-to-End Onboarding & Integration: Manage new account setup from intake to activation. Set up Stripe/bank accounts, guide districts through government-entity verification (KYC), configure GL codes, payment roles/permissions, fee structures, and approval workflows.
•
Portfolio & Relationship Management: Proactively own and manage the success of a portfolio of ParentSquare Pay accounts. Build relationships with key school and district finance decision-makers (e.g., bookkeepers, finance directors).
•
Adoption Strategy & Activation: Own a defined post-setup adoption cadence (30/60/90-day check-ins) to monitor account-health data, remove blockers, and drive accounts to their first transaction and sustained usage.
•
Training & Enablement: Run onboarding trainings, webinars, drop-in office hours, and best-practice sessions for district finance and office staff.
•
Ongoing Support & Account Administration: Troubleshoot payment reporting, reconciliation, and payout timing questions. Re-onboard accounts after staff turnover and process account updates or escalations.
•
Expansion & Retention: Identify opportunities to expand payment use cases within accounts (e.g., moving from seasonal events to district-wide adoption) and partner with CS/Sales on renewals.
•
Cross-Functional Voice of Customer: Work closely with Product Management and Engineering to surface configuration friction, feature gaps, and feedback prioritized by usage impact.
Our ideal candidate will have the following:
•
2+ years of relevant Customer Success, Account Management, or Implementation experience within a SaaS, Fintech, or software environment.
- Experience working with or supporting K-12 schools, districts, or EdTech platforms is strongly preferred.
- Comfort working inside technical/financial systems and confidence troubleshooting them methodically (experience with Stripe/Stripe Connect or payment gateways is a plus).
- Data-literate mindset with the ability to act on usage/account-health metrics to prioritize proactive outreach.
- Excellent communication, project management, and relationship-building skills with non-technical school staff.
- Extreme attention to detail—you are comfortable being the last line of defense on setups involving real money.
The perks of working for us are great!
You’ll get your foot in the door as our company continues to grow. We’re big believers in work-life balance and provide:
- Employer-paid health insurance (including dependent coverage)
- An employer-matched 401K retirement savings program from day 1
- Paid Parental Leave
- Stock options
- Health + wellness reimbursements
- PTO that increases each year
- 15 paid holidays, including your birthday!
As a fully remote team, we’ll make sure you have all the tools and equipment you need to make your home office a place where you can thrive.
