Location, Reporting & Travel

Reports to the Chief Revenue Officer. This is a full-time, 100% remote role within the United States, with approximately 20-25% travel for team meetings, member and partner engagement, conferences, and E3n events.

About Us

E3n is a not-for-profit, member-based organization serving independent schools, educators, students, and families across the full student lifecycle.

Formed through the merger of the former Educational Records Bureau (ERB) and the Enrollment Management Association (EMA), E3n builds on nearly a century of collective expertise in assessment, enrollment, and student development. E3n exists to deepen school impact and advance whole-student growth by uniting academic and enrollment leadership around shared, data-driven insights.

E3n provides comprehensive assessments, tools, professional learning, data and insights  that help independent schools demonstrate their value and support student success from pre-enrollment through graduation - extending beyond academic performance to include student well-being, sense of belonging, and social-emotional development.
