Turn the science of learning into stories that change lives.
AI is changing how people think and learn. Many people worry it will weaken human cognition. We believe evidence-based education offers a better path, and we need a storyteller who can show it.
As Content Marketing Lead, you will own our blog and the content that draws in prospective students, professors, and donors.
What you will do
- Own our content calendar across the blog, email, social, video, and podcast
- Write and edit SEO-optimized posts on learning science, 1-on-1 tutoring, agile education, careers, and affordable higher education
- Cite recent research accurately and make it clear, vivid, and useful
- Tell student and alumni stories that show real outcomes
- Match content to each audience: students and families, professors, donors, and partners
- Track traffic, signups, applications, and donations, and use the data to decide what to publish next
- Manage freelancers, student contributors, and interns
- Keep our voice consistent: warm, specific, active, and focused on others, not on us
You might be a fit if you
- Have 3+ years in content marketing, copywriting, journalism, or communications
- Write clean, active, persuasive prose and have a portfolio to show it
- Know SEO and use analytics tools
- Can read a research paper and explain it to a smart non-expert
- Interview well and love finding the human story
- Care about education, learning, and the future of work
How it works
- Work remotely with flexible hours.
