Growth Marketing (Remote) Jobs

Edthena is looking for someone to join our team in a role focused on managing the engagement of our target audience of K-12 decision makers to educate them about our products and services. This person will need to be a product-focused communicator who makes data-driven decisions about what’s adding value to the prospective customer’s experience.

As a starting point, you must be able to understand and vet pedagogically-sound and cohesive messages for K-12 education decision makers. Direct experience as a K-12 classroom teacher or school/district admin is helpful, but it's not required if you can demonstrate the right content knowledge through other experience.

Yes, this role requires a strategic thinker, but we need someone who is also a doer. We seek someone who exhibits the ability to organize and manage multiple projects with variable timelines and who has experience utilizing tools/systems to communicate the status to others along the way. You are an experienced, tech-savvy professional with the ability to demonstrate strong writing skills and excellent grammar.

As a small company, there is often the need to be entrepreneurial and experiment with limited resources. We often must adjust course as we learn more information, so comfort with ambiguity in a job context is a must since sometimes experiments won’t work. You will be given ownership and responsibility — you will be the “marketing department.” You should have evidence of self-managing, perform well under deadlines, and be detail-oriented both in task management and end-product. You'll have the opportunity to help shape the role itself in order to maximize your impact as you go.

A bit more in the weeds… (aka the responsibilities)

You will be responsible for creating and executing our content marketing with the purpose of cultivating and activating our target audience of decision makers. This content will often be headed for our blog, but also includes other channels like our public site and our social media accounts.This could mean writing content directly. This could mean leveraging contributors. This does mean managing contractors to support content production, like a video editor. This does mean you will be responsible for reviewing your selected contributors’ work for quality and ensuring the content ultimately arrives at its destination in a published state on time.

You will be responsible for increasing our presence at conferences through earned speaking spots. This could mean sourcing opportunities for our existing partners and helping them write an application. This could mean managing consultant presenters who will make applications. This might mean, depending on your particular qualifications or experience, that you’re presenting at conferences.

You will be responsible for our evolving in-person events strategy related to these conferences. This could mean logistics to have local videographers capture a partner’s presentation. This often means on-the-ground planning for small happy hours meant to engage prospects who attend a session. This would also mean being able to travel to these in-person events. This would require a readiness to cultivate relationships with existing customers, potential customers, and industry professionals as a representative of our brand

You will be responsible for quantifying the impact of the various efforts we are undertaking to reach our audience. This could mean that when you uncover a new channel through your experimentation, you will set up the metric tracking plan to determine ROI. This does mean you will analyze and make strategic decisions using these data.

About Edthena

Founded in 2011, Edthena is the award-winning maker of tools for teacher professional learning.

We're a small team that's accomplishing a lot. We are a fully remote team that still finds ways to feel collaborative and connected.
