This role sits at the intersection of operations, creator acquisition, and community building. You'll manage day-to-day execution of our teacher programs, drive outreach and communications for off-platform teacher recruitment initiatives, and build meaningful connections with creators on the platform. You'll also partner closely with internal teams across content, marketing, and partnerships to surface standout teachers and amplify their impact.
