📚 Education

📋 Description

• Fixing our K-12 education system is a civilizationally-important problem. • We believe that all of our problems — including the ones that dominate the headlines — are downstream of education. • We have a simple thesis on how to solve it: empower 1,000's of educators to launch microschools in their communities. • We believe the historical tradeoff between price (tuition) and quality is a false dichotomy. • PrimerOS automates and eliminates much of the costs of traditional schools. • Microschools have a structural advantage — asset-light real estate — which means much lower capex and opex. • You put it together, and you get something that's never existed before: a world-class education that's accessible to normal American families and can rapidly scale. • We’re looking for our first marketing hire to help us tell Primer’s story in a way that resonates with parents, students, and Primer Leaders. • This role is equal parts art and science and you’ll report directly to the COO. • You’ll need to be able to operate at 30,000 feet and 500 feet, often switching altitudes multiple times a day. • Over time you should expect to lead a team, but be comfortable rolling up your sleeves until then.

🎯 Requirements

• Experience leading marketing efforts in the tech industry or for a tech-adjacent brand. Bonus points if it was geo-constrained in some way (e.g. market-by-market rollouts, specific target cities, etc.). • A healthy mix of art and science. We’re explicitly looking for someone who can flex between the creative inputs for great marketing (copywriting, managing design, etc.) and the quantitative analysis required to deliver results (channel analysis, CAC forecasts, etc.). We’re not expecting you to be an 11/10 on both fronts, but we are expecting you to be comfortable on both sides of the plate. • Excellent organization and internal comms chops. You’ll be working across the team and managing a large portion of our annual budget. We’ll expect you to communicate clearly on tests we’re running, how we’re tracking against goals, and what you need from the rest of the team to be successful. • An unbridled passion for fixing the US education system. This is, as you’d expect, non-negotiable. This work is incredibly hard. But if we succeed, it will be the most fulfilling work of our lives. On the days and weeks that it feels like we’re chewing glass, there are only two things that will get you through: a deep passion for fixing this problem, and looking around and seeing a team that shares that passion. We can guarantee the latter, but only you can guarantee the former.
