Senior Project Lead - New York, United States - Primerli

Description

About Primerli
Primerli is an early-stage, high-growth EdTech startup on a mission to raise the bar in digital learning


Let's face it:

despite the fact that "content" is more engaging than ever in many spaces, most professional learning content is notoriously boring, slow, and ineffective.

At Primerli, we know how to get people up to speed quickly on complex topics - and how to make it actually enjoyable.

We are taking the modern standards of structure, storytelling, and production quality and applying them to create learning content that professionals want to binge-watch.
