About Think Academy

We are looking for a User Conversion & Operations Specialist who can develop a deep understanding of the needs of U.S. K–12 families and drive business growth through parent engagement, course conversion, and user operations.

This role will initially focus on frontline parent communication and course conversion. You will work directly with parents, understand their needs and decision-making process, and take ownership of conversion results. As you build a deeper understanding of our users and products, you will gradually take on broader user operations initiatives, including cross-subject enrollment among existing families, referral programs, parent communities, and user engagement activities.

• Strong user communication skills, with the willingness to proactively reach out, follow up consistently, and move users toward the next step.
• Strong goal orientation and results ownership, with the ability to take responsibility for clear conversion and operational targets.

• Basic data literacy and the ability to use data and user feedback to evaluate and improve performance.
• Ability to work on-site in Silicon Valley on a long-term basis.
• Mandarin proficiency is required for this position.

• Experience in education, user operations, community operations, admissions, enrollment, or conversion-focused roles.
• Familiarity with U.S. K–12 education or the educational needs of Chinese families in the U.S.
• Experience managing parent communities, user engagement programs, or in-person events.
• Ability to demonstrate past business impact with specific examples and measurable results.

• Clear Growth Path: Opportunities to grow into project management, academic operations, education product, or people management roles.
• Deep Exposure to U.S. ELA Education: Work directly with ELA programs serving North American K–12 families and help bring structured, effective English learning experiences into real classrooms and homes.
• Cross-Functional Business Exposure: Work closely with teaching, curriculum, and marketing teams throughout the user growth process.
• Long-Term Career Development: Build toward broader roles in user operations, user growth, academic operations, or project management.

Compensation & Benefits Structure:

• Total Compensation Package: $80,000-$90,000
  • Includes Base Salary: $78,000-$80,000 + Teaching Bonus: Up to 10%
• Extensive hands-on experience and the opportunity to own and lead impactful projects from an early stage; Fast-track path to management-level roles within 2–3 years, supported by structured mentorship and direct coaching from experienced leaders
