Manager, Engagement Marketing

At Brisk Teaching, we aim to lighten the workload for teachers with AI-powered tools that take care of administrative tasks so that teachers can spend more time doing what they love - teaching. Brisk is an AI-powered Chrome extension that simplifies teaching by integrating seamlessly with tools teachers already use like Google Classroom, Docs, Slides, YouTube, and articles. In seconds, teachers can create instructional materials, provide feedback, and evaluate student work - right from where they're already working.

We are a diverse group of technologists, educators, and parents, all united by a passion to improve the lives of educators. With over a decade of collective teaching experience and roles at leading education technology companies like the Chan Zuckerberg Institute, Seesaw Learning, PBS Kids, Clever, NoRedInk, Panorama Education, GoGuardian, and Edulastic, we deeply understand what educators need.

You’ll manage and mentor a growing team focused on building powerful brand engagement, while also directly owning key initiatives, especially in this formative stage of the company. This is a hands-on, high-impact role where you’ll define what great engagement looks like and ensure it drives real business outcomes.

• Build and scale community marketing programs that engage and grow our educator and learner audiences across channels (forums, events, social, etc.).

• Scrappiness and the desire to move fast. You come up with an idea, evangelize your team, and make it happen overnight.
• Experience in project management software (monday.com;, etc.)
• Previous work experience in a venture-backed startup.
