Director of User Success and Education

Epistemix empowers leaders to make better decisions. Organizations use our data-science tools to manage risk, fight infectious disease, improve disaster response, adapt to climate change, compare strategies across scenarios, and better understand the people they seek to serve.

We are looking for an individual contributor to be the voice of user experience from onboarding to becoming a proficient user of our platform. This role will oversee training, user engagement, community management, outreach to academic and research organizations, and work closely with customer success and marketing. In this role, you will be expected to work with technical users to gather feedback on the product and understand how it can be improved to better address their needs. You will collaborate with the Engineering, Design, and Product teams to ensure that the Product Roadmap is aligned with the needs of users. Another part of your role will be to develop a vibrant community of users that connects with the open source community of agent-based modelers. As a key contributor within an early stage startup, you will own the user experience and will serve as an evangelist for agent-based simulation across disciplines. 

We acknowledge this job spans the work of 3 roles and are looking for someone who is excited about the opportunity to get in at the beginning of building the user experience of our platform. Once you’ve demonstrated your ability to engage users and prove to be a cultural fit with the team, we plan to build a team around you to support the demands of the user success and education functions. You will have the opportunity to grow with the company as an individual contributor or manager upon the successful execution of your responsibilities. Given we are an early stage startup, you can also expect that your responsibilities will grow as we gain traction with customers.
