Woolf Hiring for Customer Operations Manager (Remote, India Only) at San Francisco, CA Full Time

Our mission at Woolf is to make higher education more accessible and ensure that it is globally transferable. Woolf is the first global, collegiate higher education institution that lets qualified organizations join as member colleges and offer accredited degrees.

Our software helps colleges meet and maintain regulatory and quality standards — managing everything from course creation to degree issuance. Like the member colleges at the University of Oxford or Delhi University, Woolf’s colleges have the benefit of being a part of a major higher education institution, while staying independent.

Our colleges include upGrad, Scaler Neovarsity, AlmaBetter, and others.

Our Team

We are a globally distributed, fully remote team with a bias for action. Our team is mission-aligned, high EQ/low ego, and committed to excellence. Our investor group includes First Round Capital (who also led the investment for Notion, Roblox, Uber, and Square), Connect Ventures, IOVC, All Access Fund, and Tribe Capital.
