  • Partner with product and client success to continuously explore improvements to the tooling, process and visibility
  • Be subject matter expert for the internal Clarity manual verification process and content
  • Foster a culture of analytical problem‑solving, ownership, and attention to detail within the team.


What We Are Looking For
  • Extremely detail oriented, analytical and metrics oriented
  • 2-4 Years in operations, data operations or process-driven roles
  • Experience in managing full time and contract or seasonal team members
  • Experience in managing quality and throughput for a high-volume function
  • Hands on experience building or improving processes and SOPs 
  • Actively using AI tools and automation for operational workflows
  • Proactive communicator with the ability to work cross functionally and question the status quo
  • Comfortable managing to metrics and holding a high bar for accuracy and accountability
  • Calm under pressure and capable of managing fluctuating workflows
  • Curious and eager to experiment with AI tools


Benefits
  • You will be paid competitively, receive stock options and have a variety of other benefits, including 100% company-sponsored health, medical and dental insurance. 
  • Clarity has grown from 0 to 70 employees in under 3 years and is poised for continued growth. 
  • Clarity is a product focused organization that consistently invests in improving the experience of its school and family users.
  • Clarity is a fully remote work environment, but also provides both team specific and company sponsored offsites every year.
