Sales and Engagement (Freelance or Full Time)

Better World Ed (www.BetterWorldEd.org) is a “curriculum integration” that brings SEL and academics to life. 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 50 global videos (paired with 150+ stories and lesson plans) that can help educators teach almost any Grade 1-6 math concept and many other academic disciplines. Now it's time to broaden and deepen our reach and impact, as we've just launched a brand new platform. That's where you come in.

YOUR ROLE: 

1. Sell: Reach & inspire educators and school leaders through school and district engagement, ed organization partnerships, EdTech distribution partnerships, media distribution partnerships, conferences, and more.
2. Mobilize: Design content and strategies to help passionate educators and influencers to engage their peers and grow our pipeline. 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 Learning Journey 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).
