Community and Partnerships Manager

About the Organization

The Shared Environment is a curated multi-seller marketplace built specifically for Montessori practitioners, schools, and families. Every product listed on the platform has been carefully selected by trained Montessori guides, known within the organization as readers. When a product fulfills the description in a Montessori presentation, it earns an album badge, a mark of authenticity that gives buyers confidence they are purchasing materials worthy of the children they serve. Founded by Staci Hedlund and Alexander Hedlund, The Shared Environment was born out of a truth every Montessori guide knows: preparing the environment is essential, time-consuming, and deeply personal work. Searching for the right materials across dozens of platforms while also guiding children is not sustainable, and the Montessori community deserves better infrastructure. The Shared Environment brings makers, retailers, and practitioners into one shared space so that the right materials are easier to find, trust, and access. The organization is growing. The marketplace is live, the seller community is expanding, partnerships with training centers and organizations are forming, and the team is ready to bring on people who care about this work as much as they do. This role is a direct reflection of that readiness.
