With over six years of experience in customer success within the education technology sector, I have developed a deep understanding of district-level complexities and the importance of building trusted relationships with superintendents and curriculum leaders. In my previous role, I managed a $4M book of business, consistently exceeding renewal targets while driving expansion through strategic QBRs and executive engagement. My ability to align cross-functional teams and mentor junior CSMs has directly contributed to increased customer retention and satisfaction. I am particularly drawn to Instructure's mission of simplifying learning and am confident that my skills in forecasting, strategic planning, and advocacy will make a meaningful impact on your K12 customer success team. Thank you for your consideration. I look forward to discussing how I can contribute to your organization. Copy Sample interview questionsCan you describe a time when you turned around an at-risk K12 account and what specific strategies you used to regain trust and secure renewal?In my previous role, I had a district account that was unhappy with product adoption and threatened to churn. I scheduled a leadership meeting, listened to their concerns, and identified the root cause: lack of onboarding. I created a tailored adoption plan, provided additional training for their teachers, and set up monthly check-ins. Within three months, usage increased by 40%, and the district signed a multi-year renewal and an expansion. How would you build executive-level relationships with superintendents and district leaders to establish yourself as a trusted advisor? I start by understanding each executive's key initiatives and pain points, then align product capabilities to those outcomes. I prepare concise, data-driven narratives for executive business reviews, showing ROI and impact. I also maintain regular touchpoints, share industry insights, and proactively raise risks with proposed solutions, which builds credibility and long-term trust. Explain your approach to forecasting renewal risk and pipeline for a portfolio of 30-35 accounts. What metrics do you monitor? I use a combination of usage data, stakeholder sentiment, and account health scores in Gainsight, along with Salesforce reports to track engagement and open opportunities. I flag risks early by monitoring dashboard logins, training attendance, and support tickets. I then hold risk reviews with my team to align on mitigation strategies and adjust forecasts accordingly. How do you manage competing priorities when multiple accounts need immediate attention, especially during peak renewal seasons? I prioritize based on risk and revenue impact, using a scoring matrix that factors in renewal date, contract value, and health score. I also delegate tasks to supporting team members and leverage automation for routine follow-ups. Clear communication with stakeholders and time blocking helps me stay focused on the highest-impact activities. Describe how you would mentor a junior customer success manager while maintaining a full workload yourself. I would set aside regular 30-minute coaching sessions, focusing on real scenarios they're handling. I encourage them to shadow my QBRs and walk through my decision-making process. I also share templates and playbooks, and use a buddy system for peer learning. By empowering them to solve issues independently, I reduce my drain while building their confidence.

Our goal is to amplify that power by creating intuitive products that simplify learning and personal development, facilitate meaningful relationships, and inspire people to go further in their education and careers.
