Product Marketing Lead (USA)

ClassDojo’s goal is to give every child on Earth an education they love.

We started by building a powerful network for communication. ClassDojo’s flagship app is the #1 communication app connecting K-8 teachers, children, and families globally. Teachers use it to share what’s happening throughout the day through photos, videos, and messages that make parents feel like they’re there. It’s actively used in over 95% of US schools, reaching over 50 million children in 180 countries, with a team of just around 200 people [1]. We are now beginning to use this network to give kids the best learning experiences in the world, far beyond those a standard school can provide.

We hire for talent density. Our team comprises the most talented, entrepreneurial, and innovative teammates from around the world, with experience in education and large scale consumer internet companies, including Instagram, Netflix, Dropbox, Stripe, Uber, Y Combinator, and more. We’re building a company where the most talented people want to work. We believe you’ll do the best work of your life here—and you’ll pioneer the future of education, too.
What you’ll do:
You’ll help grow ClassDojo to be the world’s most widely-used pre-K-8 product and most-loved consumer education brand for kids. You’ll do this by deeply understanding our market and bringing that to life through engaging go-to-market campaigns that drive impact.

You’ll influence the product roadmap to shape the future of education and strategize alongside product managers, data scientists, growth marketers, creative teams, and other cross-functional partners all united in our mission to 10x our growth goals.
