About the Data & Analytics Business

Frontline’s Data & Analytics business is a standalone unit within Frontline Education, dedicated to unlocking the full potential of district data. Our analytics platforms give school systems the clarity and confidence to move from information to action—enabling smarter, faster, and more transparent decisions across every dimension of district leadership.

The Data & Analytics suite includes

Business Analytics, helping district finance and operations leaders forecast, plan, and optimize resource allocation;
Comparative Analytics, providing districts with benchmarking data to measure performance relative to peers;
Student Analytics, which turns academic and engagement data into actionable insight for improving learning, equity, and achievement; and
Location Analytics, which leverages GIS technology to visualize student, staffing, and facility data on interactive maps for strategic boundary and resource planning.

Together, these solutions embody our mission: to help district leaders make sense of their data, communicate clearly, and act confidently.

How you’ll contribute to our mission

As the Director of Student & Location Analytics Advisors, you’ll lead a team dedicated to helping K–12 districts turn data into meaningful action.

You’ll work across Product, Services, Sales, and Marketing to strengthen the journey from onboarding to value, ensuring districts experience clarity, support, and confidence as they use Frontline’s analytics tools. Your leadership will help teams “teach clients to fish” by empowering districts to understand their data, build capacity, and achieve measurable outcomes on their own.
