Marketing Coordinator at eSpark Learning

About eSpark Learning

At eSpark Learning, we're on a mission to reimagine education in a student-centered way, making high-quality learning accessible to all students, regardless of background or circumstance. We have the utmost respect for the job that elementary teachers do day in and day out, and we want to be their most valued tool for differentiated instruction and driving engagement in their classrooms. We have over a million students on our platform, and school and district customers in all 50 states.

We’re using AI to personalize learning for every student. We’re not just leveling lessons to a student’s ability; we’re customizing the lesson content itself around the student's background and interests. In the last 12 months we've launched several new AI-driven features, like our recently shipped AI-based tutors for phonics and writing.

Our remote culture is deeply rooted in a collegial, collaborative atmosphere. We prize scrappiness, resourcefulness, and a genuine passion for our mission. If you're looking to make a substantial impact in the world of educational technology, we'd love to welcome you aboard.
