ABOUT KHAN ACADEMY KIDS

Khan Academy Kids is a free and fun learning program for children ages two to eight. Kodi Bear and a cast of animated characters lead children on a personalized education journey filled with fun, standards-aligned activities in early literacy, math, executive functioning, and social-emotional skills. Built by a small but mighty team, Khan Academy Kids is used by millions of children in homes and classrooms around the world.

OUR COMMUNITY 

Our students, teachers, and parents come from all walks of life, and so do we. Our team includes people from academia, traditional/non-traditional education, big tech companies, and tiny startups.

THE ROLE

The Senior Technical Support Specialist will serve as the primary owner of the Khan Academy Kids support function — the trusted first point of contact for our users and a strategic partner to our Product, Engineering, and Partnerships teams. This is a build role: you'll own the end-to-end support experience for Khan Kids — designing the systems and processes that make it run, while staying in the work yourself across everything from individual parent inquiries to district-level app deployments and product release readiness.

This role supports all of Khan Kids' audiences. You'll context-switch between a parent troubleshooting an app issue and a district IT admin navigating a Clever integration, and you'll bring the same care, technical fluency, and follow-through to both. You'll also serve as the internal voice of our users, surfacing trends and insights that directly inform how we build and improve our product.

This is a fully remote position open to candidates based in the US or Canada. Proximity to our San Mateo, CA office is a plus, as the Khan Kids Product and Engineering team is based there.

Key Responsibilities:

The approximate time allocations below reflect a typical distribution, but will shift seasonally based on user needs. For example, during back-to-school season, district and partner support will naturally take a larger share of focus.

Grassroots User Support (~40%)

• Own our Zendesk account end-to-end — managing inbound tickets from parents, teachers, and app store reviews with prompt, accurate, and empathetic responses, while also configuring workflows, macros, and tagging taxonomies to handle growing volume efficiently.
• Define, track, and report on core support metrics — including first response time, resolution time, and ticket volume — using data and AI tools to surface patterns, drive process improvements, and bring structured insights to Product and Engineering.
• Surface, replicate, and document user-reported bugs and ticket trends, serving as the go-between for users and the Product and Engineering teams to ensure issues are tracked, resolved, and informing the roadmap.
• Maintain and improve our Help Center and technical user guides — writing and updating support articles, FAQs, troubleshooting guides, release notes, and device-specific resources (e.g., Google Admin Console guides for Chromebook deployments) — leveraging AI tools for efficient content creation.
• Serve as first responder for user-facing incidents — coordinating with Engineering on triage, communicating status to affected users and partners, and documenting post-mortems.
• Conduct regular testing of the Khan Kids app experience, including structured competitor analysis of peer apps, to proactively surface friction points and keep support content accurate as the product evolves.

Partner & District Support (~40%)

• Support district rostering via Clever and manual methods, serving as a knowledgeable resource for district IT administrators navigating app deployment and setup.
• Triage, test, and track technical support issues for district and school partners, leading technical support calls as needed to resolve complex issues.
• Collaborate with our District Success Team to write and maintain district-facing support resources, ensuring partners have what they need to successfully deploy and scale Khan Kids in their schools.
• Build and maintain positive relationships with district and school partners, ensuring a high level of satisfaction and long-term engagement

Product Release Support (~20%)

• Partner with Product and Engineering to coordinate QA testing ahead of app updates, new features, and content launches — and develop corresponding support resources so users and partners are prepared from day one.
• Maintain a close working relationship with the broader Khan Academy support team to align on tools, standards, and escalation processes.

WHAT YOU BRING

• 5+ years of experience in customer support, technical support, or a related field, ideally in an EdTech or consumer app environment.
• Hands-on experience with Zendesk or a comparable support ticketing platform, including account configuration and management — not just day-to-day use.
• Experience supporting educational deployments — including rostering platforms (e.g., Clever, ClassLink), mobile device management (e.g., JAMF, Mosyle), and admin consoles (e.g., Google Admin, Apple School Manager) — or a demonstrated ability to learn complex technical ecosystems quickly.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain technical concepts clearly to non-technical audiences.
• Strong analytical mindset — comfortable using ticket data, trends, and user feedback to identify patterns and inform decisions.
• Exceptional attention to detail and strong follow-through.
• A self-starter who thrives with ownership and can manage multiple priorities in a fast-moving environment.
• Motivated by the Khan Academy mission “to provide a free world-class education for anyone, anywhere."
• Proven cross-cultural competency skills demonstrating self-awareness, awareness of other, and the ability to adopt inclusive perspectives, attitudes, and behaviors to drive inclusion and belonging throughout the organization.
• A collaborative team player who works well across Product, Engineering, and Partnerships teams.

Nice to haves

• Familiarity with the Khan Academy Kids app and product.
• Familiarity with AI tools (e.g., Claude, Cursor) for content creation and support workflows.
• Spanish language proficiency.
• Proximity to our San Mateo, CA office

PERKS AND BENEFITS

THE ROLE

We’re looking for a Staff UX Researcher to join our Design team. The heart of this role is not just conducting research, but building the high-performance engine that powers user understanding across our entire product. You will be the architect of our "People Who Do Research" (PWDR) program, empowering our Design team to conduct their own tactical research while you provide the methodological rigor, technical guardrails, and strategic oversight. We are looking for an expert who can lead our transition into AI-enhanced research operations—acting as the essential "Human-in-the-Loop" to ensure that as we accelerate our workflows, our insights remain grounded, ethical, and highly actionable.

You will play a vital role in scaling our impact, serving as a coach and consultant to product teams as they navigate the complexities of U.S. school districts. By building the playbooks and knowledge systems that turn raw data into institutional wisdom, you will help us fulfill the mission of the organization: to provide a free, world-class education to anyone, anywhere. 

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• PWDR Program leadership and enablement: Refine and scale our "People Who Do Research" program. You will empower designers and product triads to conduct high-quality tactical UXR research (both qual and quant)  by providing the playbooks, training, and mentorship necessary to maintain rigorous standards across the team.
• AI strategy and research operations: Design, propose, and manage a research tech stack (including Dovetail) powered by responsible AI. You will implement automated workflows for recruiting, synthesis, and insight distribution, serving as the UXR "Human-in-the-Loop" authority to ensure AI-generated outputs are grounded, ethical, and accurate.
• Cross-product research, synthesis, and leadership:  Act as the Design Leadership Team’s expert on customer and user profiles, end-to-end user journeys, and forward-looking research. You will synthesize insights that span multiple product surface areas to identify "connective tissue," strategic gaps, and opportunities that go beyond the scope of individual embedded researchers or designers on product teams.
• Strategic advisory and methodological governance: Serve as a high-level internal consultant, guiding teams on the selection of lean vs. rigorous methodologies. You will lead or co-facilitate complex mixed-method studies when business needs require, providing the foundational frameworks (blueprints, journey maps) that keep teams aligned with the "big picture."
• Support the design team with on-site research in schools, providing guidance and ethical scaffolding, and ensuring legal compliance. U.S. based travel up to 20%.

THE ROLE

As we deepen and scale our international partnerships, we are seeking a Senior Program Manager International Enablement to serve as a cross-functional execution leader and cross-functional partner to country teams.

This role sits within the International team and works closely with our International Product Manager and International Rostering/Ops Lead. The primary purpose of this role is to:

• Stabilize and unblock day-to-day partner execution
• Translate product evolution into country-level implementation implications, ensuring partners are prepared for roadmap changes and transitions
• Triage and resolve the majority of partner questions and issues independently, escalating only strategic, compliance, or high-risk matters
• Coordinate cross-functionally across Product, Engineering, Data, Legal, and Marketing to move partner-facing dependencies forward

This is a high-judgment, high-autonomy individual contributor role designed to provide leverage to the broader International team by absorbing operational complexity, strengthening partner execution, and ensuring country teams are consistently supported.

IN THIS ROLE, YOU WILL:

Own Day-to-Day Partner Execution & Triage

• Serve as the primary point of contact for operational and implementation questions from country teams
• Resolve ~80% of partner issues and clarifications without escalation
• Run regular operational check-ins with priority country teams
• Identify risks early and escalate only strategic, compliance, or resourcing tradeoffs

Lead Product to Field Translation

• Develop deep fluency in Khan Academy products and translate product changes into clear, actionable guidance for country teams
• Support grassroots and government-level launches with practical implementation counsel
• Maintain a feedback loop to Product on field implications and recurring friction points

Enable Strong, Sustainable Partnerships

• Support onboarding and accelerator processes for new countries
• Provide guidance on adapting implementation models to local system constraints
• Support pilot design and early-stage implementation stabilization for new country teams

Drive Programmatic Excellence

• Support design and execution of global convenings, learning communities, and knowledge-sharing initiatives
• Contribute to professional learning tracks (e.g., KhanXchange) aligned to partner needs
• Ensure country teams are informed of roadmap changes and prepared for transitions

Coordinate Cross-Functionally

• Work closely with Product, Engineering, Data, Legal, and Marketing teams to unblock country needs
• Ensure dependencies are tracked and moved forward
• Maintain clarity on what is operational vs. strategic vs. product ownership
• Protect senior leadership capacity by filtering and synthesizing issues before escalation

WHAT YOU BRING

• 7+ years of experience in international education, partnerships, consulting, public sector delivery, or cross-functional program leadership
• Strong understanding of how educational systems operate, particularly in international contexts
• Demonstrated experience leading implementation in ambiguous environments, driving execution across multiple teams without formal authority
• Exceptional project management and prioritization skills
•  Ability to rapidly develop deep product fluency and translate product evolution into practical implementation guidance
• Strong judgment: able to independently resolve most issues while escalating only high-risk or strategic decisions
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Comfort operating across time zones and cultures
• Entrepreneurial mindset and bias toward action
• Willingness to travel internationally as needed
• Experience working with government partners, large-scale implementations, or edtech products is strongly preferred.
• Motivated by the Khan Academy mission “to provide a free world-class education for anyone, anywhere."
• Proven cross-cultural competency skills demonstrating self-awareness, awareness of other, and the ability to adopt inclusive perspectives, attitudes, and behaviors to drive inclusion and belonging throughout the organization.
