The Impact You Will Make
In this role, you will own the intelligence layer that powers how Risepoint engages with students at every stage of their journey. You will lead end-to-end initiatives—from scoping and design through cross-functional implementation and measurable outcomes—that directly shape retention, engagement, and enrollment results for thousands of students across more than 100 university partners.
You will be accountable for delivering the “Next Best Experience” platform: the predictive engine that turns raw behavioral signals into personalized, timely outreach. Your decisions will determine who gets reached, when, and how—translating data science into student outcomes that help working adults succeed in programs that change their lives.
You will bring our mission to life by leading initiatives that make the student journey smarter and more human at the same time. Every initiative you own—from scoping a churn-risk model through deploying it into production and measuring its downstream impact—translates directly into a real person getting the support they need before they fall through the cracks. By driving cross-functional alignment and accountability across Product, Engineering, and CX teams, you will help Risepoint’s university partners serve more students more effectively.
