Implementation Manager, SMB
About Playground
Playground is working to make excellent child care accessible to all. Playground has built best in class software to manage all aspects of running a child care business. We believe that providers should focus on providing incredible child care — the kind of work that only people can do — and that software should manage the rest. We’re building the child care management platform that eliminates the administrative work of running a center.
Playground is at an inflection point and poised for rapid growth. We recently raised over $10M, secured several statewide contracts, and are working with thousands of schools across the country. Our founders were recently honored as Forbes 30 Under 30.
We are a team of owners, unafraid to dive into large, complex projects. If you're excited about helping build Playground’s account management organization and joining a collaborative, high-growth startup, we want to hear from you!
