A Supportive Workplace

We’re committed to creating a workplace where talented people are supported, valued and able to thrive. We offer a competitive benefits package designed to support employees and their families at work and beyond. 

  • Health & Wellbeing
    Comprehensive, employer-supported health coverage, paid parental leave, wellness resources and an annual wellness stipend support employees and their families through different stages of life. 
  • Time to Recharge
    Generous paid time off, paid holidays, wellness days and an annual Week of Rest provide meaningful time away from work. 
  • Financial Security
    Employer-supported retirement savings, income protection and other benefits help employees plan for today and the future. 
  • Staying Connected
    While we’re a national, remote organization, working at ExcelinEd is more than a virtual experience. Employees receive a work-from-home stipend to support their remote work environment, and we create opportunities to connect, collaborate and spend time together virtually and in person throughout the year, including our annual all-staff retreat. 

Find Your Place at ExcelinEd

Whether you’re an experienced policy professional, an education advocate, a communications expert, an operations leader or just beginning your career, we’re always looking for talented people who want to make a difference for students.
