    Default job background
    Description
    NOTE: WE DO NOT ACCEPT APPLICATIONS THROUGH THIS SYSTEM. Per the instructions below you must fill out the GoogleForm to submit a full application. This also requires looking at our website and taking your EQ assessment. We will no longer respond to incomplete applications. Thank you for your interest and time.

    In just 12 years, by 2030, 50% of school-aged children will be failing or not enrolled in schools. Education is the biggest human rights / civil rights issue of this generation. We are optimizing learning for the individual by focusing on a child's emotional intelligence through technology that increases all levels of learning.

    Overview

    STRUT is a NEW high growth, technology-based, social venture optimizing individualized learning through emotional intelligence. STRUT's tools support learning theory to shorten learning time, increase knowledge retention (and thus increase test scores and grades), increase engagement, and increase satisfaction in a measurable way.

    We are currently seeking a Part-time/Full-time Brand and Marketing Manager who will work as a critical member to develop a marketing strategy, create marketing materials for funding, and manage media strategy. We are a fast-moving, high-growth potential startup. As such, this position is currently unpaid. We are prepared to offer college credit as needed and there is potential for this opportunity to translate to a long-term, permanent position later. As we grow, STRUT hopes to offer plenty of potential opportunities. STRUT strives for a model of 2/3 promotion from within, and 1/3 from outside. All previous startup staff were volunteers, interns, or contractors first.

    WHO WE ARE

    Want to help change the landscape of education and education technology? Our goal is to not only develop technology for learners but to develop strategies and technologies for the entire sector.

    Want to get on the bottom floor of a new social cause startup? Create societal good with measurable impact while exponentially growing market valuation. Join a startup team with a founder whose previous 2 startups received series B ($15M) and series A ($2M) level of funding commitment in less than 1 year each. The goal is to prove the model and raise $2.5M in less than 1 year.

    Join a founding team of 12 equity members that is rapidly growing. In his 2 previous startups, all staff members were cultivated and recruited from volunteer/ intern positions.

    Leadership Development

    STRUT wants leaders who follow, not followers or leaders who do not follow. We cultivate a culture of autonomy, growth-mindedness, individual and group empowerment, and fun. Members must be able to use (or learn to use quickly) relevant technology: project management, knowledge management, and communication tools. They must be able to identify obstacles and seek and recommend solutions. Must be disciplined, goal-focused individuals who can assess situations and make on-the-spot decisions that affect multiple aspects of the organization.

    You must want to work in an organization that is fueled by passion, led by strong, experienced, leaders, but with the flair of a startup. Suits and ties need not apply. Only those who are willing to do anything it takes to succeed are welcomed. It is not about titles or badges.

    • Superior communication skills: Must have the ability to communicate effectively, both verbally and in writing, across a variety of mediums, including phone, email, social media, etc. Must be comfortable communicating with leadership at every level of the organization as well as undertaking targeted communications initiatives (i.e., "cold calling") in order to build relationships. In other words, you are not afraid to talk to people and put yourself out there in support of the organizational mission
    • Strong leadership skills: You will be a leader of a small team and should be able to rally diverse individuals around a shared vision as well as mobilize them to complete key deliverables and meet critical deadlines. You are a consensus builder who is able to get people excited about a shared vision and develop consensus. You are skilled with conflict management and in the handling of group dynamics. You are comfortable operating as a part of a virtual team.
    • Social Media Experience: You are excited about the ability of social media to engage diverse audiences, move strategic messaging forward, and advance a marketing strategy. You are passionate about social justice and bringing, education, the potential of technology to transform our education system and enjoy developing campaigns and messaging to promote these things.
    Key Competencies Required:
    • Experience using Google Suite of tools (Gmail, Drive, Hangouts, etc.), Microsoft Office Suite, Graphic design tools (like Canva)
    • Extremely detail-oriented, self-starter, who is able to work independently with little oversight and direction in a fast-moving startup environment
    • Ability to take ownership of a project/process, identify needs, and deliver on time at the highest quality.
    • Demonstrated commitment to social justice, advocacy, and education.
