A Y Combinator/Imagine K12 company, ClassDojo's long-term goal is to give every child on Earth an education they love. The ClassDojo app is the #1 communication app for micro-communities of K-8 teachers, children and families globally; they use it to stay connected, sharing what's happening through the school day through photos, videos, messages, and activities. The company is now helping kids get learning experiences they love, beyond school. Today, ClassDojo is used by 95% of pre K-8 schools in the US, as well as in a further 180 countries.

We're looking for an experienced lifecycle/engagement marketing manager to build and execute our lifecycle strategy from scratch. This is a critical role where you'll get to be the architect of our engagement communication strategies for all of our customer segments. (teachers, school leaders, and families) Every touch-point you create will reach tens of millions of users and significantly impact our customers' experience. You'll play an essential role in growing ClassDojo from where we are to our next major milestones: reaching 100 million+ active families and 100 million+ in revenue while deepening our brand love.

What you'll do:

As our senior lifecycle growth marketing lead, you'll help us grow ClassDojo to be the world's most widely-used pre-K-8 product and the world's most-loved consumer education brand for kids. You'll do that by developing always-on lifecycle marketing campaigns across email, in-app, and push notification channels to increase activation, engagement, and retention. You'll be responsible for developing an experimentation roadmap, executing it, and analyzing the results.

You'll work with a team of product managers, data scientists, product marketers, growth marketers, and other cross-functional partners to hit our aggressive user and revenue growth goals.

You have the technical expertise and experience to execute marketing campaigns end-to-end. You know how to craft compelling, multi-channel campaigns and best practices for each channel. You have experience using tools like Braze, Iterable, or BlueShift.

  • Experimentation Experience: You have experience operating in a data-driven environment. You know how to go through hypothesize, build, launch, analyze, and iterate loop at a fast-pace. Structured Problem Solving Skills: You know how to work your way through complex problems. You can easily break a problem down into components, ask the right questions, and build a robust framework around the problem before diving into the solutions.

  • Intellectual Curiosity: You are highly curious about start-ups, marketing, and technology. You continuously try to improve your knowledge and your craft. You always dig deeper and ask great questions to learn more about our users, our business, and our products.

What you'll need:

  • 6+years of growth marketing experience at a consumer brand, including building out lifecycle and engagement marketing campaigns.
