Tutor Marketing Manager (Contract, Part-Time, Remote)

ClassDojo's goal is to give every child on Earth an education they love.

We started by building a powerful network for communication. ClassDojo’s flagship app is the #1 communication app connecting K-12 teachers, children, and families globally. Teachers use it to share what’s happening throughout the day through photos, videos, and messages that make parents feel like they’re there. It’s actively used in over 95% of US schools, reaching over 45 million children in 180 countries, with a team of just around 200 people [1]. We are now beginning to use this network to give kids the best learning experiences in the world, far beyond those a standard school can provide, including by building Dojo Tutor.

Dojo Tutor connects kids with caring, experienced teachers for 1:1 tutoring sessions that boost their skills and confidence. We’re already operating at a large scale and regularly hear from families and tutors about how Dojo Tutor is changing kids’ and tutors’ lives for the better. But we’re just getting started and have ambitious goals for growing Dojo Tutor’s reach and impact this year and beyond.

We hire for talent density. Our team comprises the most talented, entrepreneurial, and innovative teammates from around the world, with experience in education and large-scale consumer internet companies, including Instagram, Netflix, Dropbox, Stripe, Uber, Y Combinator, and more. We’re building a company where the most talented people want to work. We believe you’ll do the best work of your life here—and you’ll pioneer the future of education, too.

What you’ll do:

As a marketing manager on the Dojo Tutor team, you’ll build programs and execute campaigns to significantly accelerate our growth and impact, even beyond the considerable scale we’ve already reached. Our primary growth channel to-date has been email, but we see tremendous potential via other channels as well.

One of the unique advantages we have at Dojo Tutor is our network of millions of teachers who use ClassDojo every day. Already, these teachers are referring families to Dojo Tutor, and we know this could become a much larger growth channel for us. This will be your initial focus: you’ll execute campaigns to drive awareness of Tutor among teachers and school leaders in the ClassDojo network and build programs that make it easy and compelling for them to share Tutor with families. To do this, you’ll partner closely with a cross-functional team spanning product, marketing, data science, creative, and operations. 

We’re looking for a driven marketer who is eager to dive in and play a critical role in reaching our ambitious targets. If you’re ready to make a significant impact, we look forward to hearing from you. This is a ~20-hr/wk contractor position with the potential to convert to full-time depending on performance and company needs.
