Job Details

At AoPS, we are world leaders in teaching advanced mathematics. We train many of the most elite mathematicians in the world, including all members of the US International Math Olympiad team. Despite this impact, AoPS remains relatively unknown to the broader public.

We seek a VP of Marketing who can translate our unique approach to mathematics for a wider audience. This leader will build and lead a marketing department that communicates the value of developing problem-solving skills, elevates our brand to national prominence, and reaches more students across the country.

The VP of Marketing will be:

• Helping lead a major brand refresh project to build an iconic, nationally renowned educational brand
• Building out major functions including brand strategy, social media, field marketing, and communications
• Developing a unified identity and messaging across our full spectrum of offerings: self-serve software, online courses, textbooks, and in-person after-school learning centers
• Recruiting, managing, and mentoring a team of great marketing talent
• Contributing to company strategy as a member of the core executive team
• Crafting messages that promote the joy of solving difficult problems and the transformative positive effect that hard work and productive struggle can have on students
• Using ads, emails, direct mail, flyers, and other tools to identify and market to students and parents who would thrive with our approach
• Creating pathways for our problem-solving community and our many accomplished alumni to become brand advocates

You might be a good fit for this position if...

• You have demonstrated exceptional taste and craft in building a respected brand
• You can translate complex concepts into compelling stories without losing their essence
• You have built rigorous models for tracking metrics and outcomes of performance marketing approaches
• You've built brands that matter deeply to specific communities rather than vaguely to everyone
• You're curious about mathematics and eager to learn what makes it fascinating to others
• You want to help more students discover the joy of genuine achievement in challenging subjects
