Each Knack Partner has a dedicated Partner Success Manager (PSM) for their program. While this PSM works most closely with the campus-selected Knack Program Administrator, launching and growing successful Knack programs is truly a team effort.
Read on to learn more about the different teams here at Knack and which team your PSM may be working with in order to support specific aspects of your program’s success.
