We live in a world where technology is rapidly changing the educational experiences of students and teachers everywhere, and we have the opportunity to shape how this change takes place. Kira’s mission is to harness transformative AI technologies to make world-class personalized teaching and learning accessible to everyone. We are a rapidly growing startup backed by top-tier Venture Capital funds including New Enterprise Associates (NEA), Andrew Ng’s AI Fund, and Primavera.
Kira is powering one of the largest national AI-in-education deployments in the world. In partnership with the Government of El Salvador (GoES), we’re scaling across 800+ schools and expanding what Kira does: new subjects, adaptive assessments, personalized content, and new tools.
As our Deployment Strategist, reporting to our General Manager for Latin America, you’ll be the bridge between Kira’s product and the people using it in El Salvador. You’ll bring new features to life for the GoES team, train users, run tools through their paces before they launch, and turn what you hear in the field into clear direction for our Product team. Priorities shift week to week, so this role is for someone who thinks fast, juggles a lot at once, and brings order to ambiguity. As the rollout grows, so does the role: we’re looking for someone ready to grow with it and to keep things running smoothly when the GM is away.
What You’ll Do
Learn Kira’s platform and the El Salvador deployment inside out, becoming the go-to expert on how Kira works for every type of user
Demo new features to the GoES team ahead of release, and lead trainings for both new users and existing users on new functionality
Test new tools before launch and give product managers structured, actionable feedback
Own the flow of feature requests from GoES teams (education, content, IT, evaluations, and others): gather them, prioritize them, and communicate them clearly to Product
Visit schools to collect feedback from teachers, tutors, and principals, and turn what you learn into product insight
Translate and adapt product documentation and resources for Spanish-speaking stakeholders
Partner with the GM on pilots and the rollout of new tools and use cases, and step in to keep the deployment on track when the GM is out
Present confidently to audiences from tutors to government team leads
Your Impact
Within 6–12 months:
GoES teams adopt new features quickly because they were trained well and brought along early
Product gets a clear, prioritized, well-documented stream of feedback and feature requests from El Salvador
New tools and pilots launch smoothly, with problems caught in testing rather than in the field
The GM can step away for a day or a week, confident the deployment is in good hands
You’ve grown with the role and taken on more strategic ownership as the rollout scales
What We’re Looking For
Fluent in Spanish and English
4+ years of experience in consulting, product, or customer-facing roles at an AI or SaaS company
Strong presenter and facilitator who can make new features click for a room of non-technical users
Analytical, structured problem-solver who thinks quickly and acts strategically
Able to juggle many workstreams at once and reprioritize on the fly without dropping balls
Comfortable with ambiguity and fast change, and energized by building in a rollout that’s still taking shape
Technically curious and quick to learn new products. No engineering background needed, but you’re comfortable testing tools and explaining issues clearly to product and engineering teams
Ideally based in El Salvador. Candidates based elsewhere in Latin America will be considered, with regular travel to San Salvador
