About Innovamat
Innovamat is an educational organization specializing in mathematics education. Founded in Barcelona in 2017, Innovamat provides schools with a complete, research-based math program covering Early Childhood through Secondary Education, grounded in research across mathematics education, cognition, and neuroscience.
Innovamat also partners with leading thinkers and researchers in mathematics education, including Peter Liljedahl, author of Building Thinking Classrooms, and Brian Butterworth, a leading researcher in mathematical cognition and dyscalculia, bringing world-class expertise and perspectives into our broader work.
Our program integrates curriculum, teacher training, assessment, and intervention into a single coherent system. Today, Innovamat is present in 9 countries, partnering with 31,000+ teachers across 3,300+ schools and reaching more than 720,000 students. We are one of the few organizations in the sector with independently validated efficacy data from external research institutions, and the first non-American organization to pass the California State Board of Education adoption process for a core math curriculum.
About the Role and Why It’s Special ✨
We’re looking for a Head of Sales to lead Innovamat’s enterprise sales efforts across the US. This is a senior, highly strategic commercial role for someone who knows how to navigate complex enterprise sales cycles and turn relationships with senior decision-makers into large, long-term partnerships. You’ll report directly to our CRO and work closely with him to shape and execute our US enterprise sales strategy.
You’ll be focused on identifying and winning high-value, strategic opportunities across all of the US — particularly large school districts, charter networks, and other institutional partners where a single partnership can create significant impact and accelerate Innovamat’s growth.
You’ll be a senior commercial force multiplier: personally opening doors, developing strategic relationships, leading complex enterprise deals, and partnering with our General Managers across regions to shape how we approach the market.
This is an opportunity to play a critical role in building Innovamat’s US enterprise business from the ground up — creating access to the right institutions, winning transformational deals, and helping define the playbook for how we sell into the largest education organizations in the country.

3. Shape the US Enterprise Go-to-Market Strategy
- Partner with Innovamat’s CRO and General Managers across regions to shape and refine the GTM approach for enterprise opportunities.
- Identify the markets, districts, networks, and segments where large-scale opportunities are most compelling.
- Develop account and territory strategies for priority enterprise targets.
- Bring learnings from enterprise sales into our broader US GTM strategy, market intelligence, messaging, positioning, and commercial approach.
4. Act as a Strategic Commercial Partner to Regional GMs
- Work closely with the CRO and GMs across the US to accelerate their most important commercial opportunities.
- Step into critical opportunities when additional senior commercial leadership or institutional access is needed.
