General Overview:

As an Senior In-Services Specialist, you will own the full lifecycle of professional development delivery for MakeMusic and Alfred Music school district clients and prospects. Working closely with our Sales, Customer Success, and Education teams, you will serve as the primary point of intake for in-service requests, manage a network of skilled presenters, and coordinate all logistics to ensure exceptional, high-impact professional development experiences for educators across the country.

This role is central to how our brands show up in classrooms and district professional development days. You will be the connective tissue between what gets sold and what gets delivered — ensuring every in-service reflects the quality and educational value that MakeMusic and Alfred Music stand for. This role sits on our Education team and reports directly to the Director, Sales.

Core Functions:

• Serve as the primary point of intake for all in-service requests sourced by Sales, Customer Success, and inbound inquiries from school districts — triaging, prioritizing, and scheduling sessions in a timely and organized manner.
• Build, maintain, and manage a network of qualified in-service presenters and clinicians who deliver sessions on behalf of MakeMusic and Alfred Music, including sourcing new presenters as the program grows.
• Coordinate all logistics for scheduled in-services, including presenter assignments, materials preparation, scheduling communications, travel coordination, and post-event follow-up.
• Develop and maintain a scalable process and tracking system for managing the full in-service lifecycle from initial request through delivery and outcome reporting.
• Partner closely with Sales and Customer Success teams to align in-service scheduling and topics with account goals, renewal timelines, and expansion opportunities.
• Track and report on program metrics — sessions delivered, districts served, presenter performance, and participant feedback — to support continuous improvement and leadership visibility.
• Establish and uphold quality standards for in-service delivery, gathering feedback from participants and presenters to continuously improve program effectiveness.
• Respond to inbound in-service requests directly from school districts, providing a professional and responsive point of contact for district administrators and educators.
• Maintain accurate records of all in-service activities, requests, and outcomes in the company’s CRM system (HubSpot or equivalent).
• Collaborate with the Education team on content, materials, and resources that support best-in-class in-service delivery across Music Brands.
• Identify opportunities to scale the program, including developing standardized presenter training, playbooks, and delivery frameworks that reduce variability and raise the quality floor.
• Stay up to date with music education trends, school funding opportunities, and educational policies that impact music programs.
• Perform other duties as assigned.
