Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Purple Squirrel Enterprises is recruiting on behalf of an unnamed high-growth health technology company. The Head of Customer Education will build and lead a scalable customer training and certification program, including onboarding, curriculum, learning technology, assessments, and partnerships across customer-facing and product teams.

Responsibilities

• Lead role-based end user onboarding for new customers across IDD, behavioral health, and long-term care settings
• Deliver live virtual and in-person training tailored to the audience: frontline staff, program managers, administrators, clinical leads, and executives
• Run a scheduled, facilitated virtual training program as a standing service rather than one-off sessions
• Offer more than one path to the same competency, so role, shift, and comfort with technology do not decide who succeeds
• Design for continuous onboarding: turnover is high, and new staff arrive long after an implementation has closed
• Design a tiered, role-based curriculum spanning foundational training for all users, role- and device-based workflow training, go-live readiness, and ongoing lifecycle education
• Build and maintain training materials, including instructor-led presentations, facilitator guides, job aids, help articles, FAQs, on-demand modules, video walkthroughs, and guided click-throughs
• Build a modular content library that assembles into universal, state-specific, and customer-specific programs without maintaining parallel content sets
• Partner with Product so training is ready at launch for new features, and update materials proactively when regulations, customer workflows, or product functionality change
• Build end-user assessments that measure readiness against what each role actually does
• Design skill-level certifications mapped to specific workflows, and role-level credentials that roll up from them
• Define the assessment model, including pass thresholds, retry rules, role gating, expiration, and recertification cadence
• Launch verifiable digital badges that staff can carry into their own careers
• Ensure assessment and certification records are accurate, timestamped, and auditable
• Evaluate, select, and own the LMS and tooling needed for a scalable training program
• Partner with Product and Engineering on the in-platform learning experience and on training infrastructure that supports rapid user growth without sacrificing quality
• Own the data governance model for training: what data appears at each stage of the learner journey, who can reach it, and under what safeguards
• Partner with Compliance, Privacy, and Legal on HIPAA-appropriate handling of training data, using synthetic or de-identified data wherever real data is not required. Everyone here is responsible for protecting PHI
• Design and lead a train-the-trainer program that enables CSMs to deliver consistent, confident training to their accounts
• Certify and coach customer Super Users to serve as internal training leads, so customer organizations can onboard their own new hires over time
• Bring recurring learner confusion and support ticket themes back to Product as roadmap signal
• Work with CSMs to assess customer readiness, spot adoption gaps, and deliver training at implementation and go-live milestones
• Build a network of subject matter experts across CSM, Support, and Product to review content accuracy on a regular cadence
• Own the KPI framework linking training outcomes to NRR, CSAT, renewal rate, NPS, and customer health score, and set the baselines needed to show that link over time
• Partner with the Chief Customer Officer to hire and develop a small team, with regular 1:1s, performance reviews, development plans, and coaching

• Experience designing certification and assessment programs, including pass standards and recertification models

• Experience in a highly regulated environment, with a strong understanding of healthcare documentation standards and compliance-driven workflows, including HIPAA-aware handling of training data
• Strong data orientation, with experience tying learning outcomes to retention, satisfaction, or health score measures
• Excellent written and verbal communication, with the ability to translate complex workflows into clear guidance for users across a wide range of technical comfort
• Ability to manage multiple concurrent projects and priorities in a fast-moving startup environment
• Experience working with IDD, behavioral health, or long-term care provider organizations
