๐ข About OnYourMark Education
OnYourMark Education is a mission-driven virtual tutoring service focused on early literacy, grounded in the science of reading. Unlike many EdTech companies, it partners directly with schools to provide high-dosage, individualized instruction, making a tangible impact on students' foundational reading skills. Working here means contributing to closing the literacy gap in a remote, collaborative environment.
About This Role
This role is the engine behind OnYourMark's growth, optimizing sales development processes and marketing outreach to generate and nurture leads. You'll manage key tools like HubSpot and GovSpend, build dashboards, and collaborate cross-functionally to align go-to-market strategies. Your work directly fuels the company's ability to reach more schools and students in need.
๐ก A Day in the Life
Your day might start by reviewing HubSpot dashboards to track lead generation and pipeline progress. You'd then collaborate with the marketing team on an upcoming email campaign targeting school districts, followed by a cross-functional meeting to align on RFP responses. Afternoon could involve analyzing campaign data to refine lead scoring models and preparing a report for the sales team.
