Sales and Engagement

Better World Ed (www.BetterWorldEd.org) is a “curriculum integration” that brings SEL and academics to life, and together. Our wordless videos and short stories help students immerse in math, reading, and writing through learning about diverse cultures and perspectives around the world.

We call this "Global SEL": Global Social & Emotional Learning.

Timing has never been better for this role: we’ve now got a library of over 45 SEL videos (paired with 100+ stories and lesson plans) that can also help educators teach almost any Grade 1-6 math concept. And we're launching a new website soon to make the user experience more beautiful and seamless. Now it's time to broaden and deepen our reach and impact. That's where you come in.

THE ROLE: 

1. Sell: Reach & inspire educators and school leaders through school and district engagement, ed organization partnerships, EdTech distribution partnerships, media distribution partnerships, conferences, direct school engagement, and more.
2. Mobilize: Design content and strategies to help passionate educators and influencers to engage their peers. Design referral and feedback systems to grow sales and engagement.
3. Create Content: Support educators and the general public in understanding why captivating SEL is so critical for every student. Leverage existing Empathy Challenge videos and stories, as well as our Visual Lesson Plan videos, to design powerful "content loop" opportunities (http://firstround.com/review/pinterest-and-grubhubs-former-growth-lead-on-building-content-loops).

You:

• Have strong experience with digital and ground sales in K-12 education. 
• Have strong experience with copywriting: research, keyword analysis, editing, formatting.
• Have worked with influencers. You are experienced in building a brand on social and building an online community (such as leading facebook groups and creating instagram videos targeted to teachers / parents / school leaders).
• Support quickly-adapting environments that don't have the ideal support structure and that require autonomous, collaborative, and resilient effort. 
• Hold yourself and others accountable through clear communication and effective goal setting.
• Have the hard conversations without (much) procrastination and take on the most important goals first, with curiosity and energy.
• Becoming a humble learner again and again, every single day.
• Hard, unglamorous effort. We need to know you’ve learned the indescribable value of being gritty and resilient. That your purpose helps you act with persistence and passion.

Important Notes:

This is an early stage organization. We don't have any offices, we haven't yet raised growth capital (and we don't make much money yet), we have a small focused and scrappy team, and we're generally doing things a bit differently. Read more on jointheteam.betterworlded.org before applying.
