Education Podcast Marketing & Outreach Director — Help Make a Difference in Public Education Part-Time | Remote (U.S.) | Flexible Schedule Help us amplify voices that matter in public education. At a time when public education is increasingly caught in the crossfire of political and cultural divisions, we believe two things are more important than ever: bringing people together across their differences and celebrating the educators who make a lasting difference in young people's lives. That's the mission behind our two podcasts, Courageous Conversations about Our Schools and Teacher Stories. We're looking for a creative, enthusiastic, and mission-driven individual to help us expand the reach and impact of these podcasts. If you care deeply about public education, believe in the power of storytelling and constructive dialogue, and have the digital marketing skills to connect important ideas with the people who need to hear them, we'd love to hear from you. About Our Podcasts Courageous Conversations about Our Schools is an award-winning podcast that brings together educators, researchers, thought leaders, and people with differing perspectives to explore some of the most challenging issues facing public education. Rather than fueling polarization, we seek to model curiosity, thoughtful disagreement, and the courage to listen to people whose views differ from our own. Teacher Stories, launched in 2018, celebrates the extraordinary influence teachers have on their students and communities. Through moving personal stories, the podcast reminds listeners why excellent teaching matters and why teachers deserve greater recognition, respect, and support. Together, these podcasts seek to enrich public understanding of education, build bridges across differences, and inspire people to strengthen our schools.
The Opportunity:
We're seeking a part-time Digital Marketing & Outreach Specialist who can help us reach more educators, school leaders, policymakers, parents, and others who care about public education. This is an opportunity for someone who wants to do more than execute a marketing plan. We welcome fresh ideas, creativity, and initiative from someone who shares our commitment to making a positive difference.
What You'll Do:
- Grow our audience and influence. Develop creative strategies to introduce both podcasts to new listeners and communities.
- Create compelling digital content. Transform podcast episodes into engaging social media posts, short video clips, graphics, and other promotional materials.
- Build connections. Identify and engage education organizations, professional associations, media outlets, and influential individuals who can help share our content.
- Strengthen our social media presence. Develop and manage promotional campaigns across LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and other appropriate platforms.
- Help us learn what works. Monitor audience engagement, downloads, and other indicators to continually improve our outreach.
- Contribute new ideas. Help identify timely opportunities to connect our podcasts with important developments in education.
- Depending on your interests and experience, there may also be opportunities to research potential guests, suggest episode topics, and help coordinate outreach.
- Who We're Looking ForOur ideal candidate combines strong communication and digital marketing skills with a genuine interest in K–12 education.
- We're especially interested in people who bring:
- A passion for public education and an appreciation for the challenges and opportunities facing teachers, students, and schools.
- Demonstrated experience creating engaging social media content and developing digital marketing campaigns.
- Strong writing skills and the ability to communicate complex ideas in accessible, compelling ways.
- Familiarity with tools for creating short promotional videos, graphics, and other digital materials.
- Initiative, creativity, sound judgment, and the ability to work independently.
- An understanding of how to build relationships and reach audiences through professional networks and partnerships.
- Experience in K–12 education, education journalism, nonprofit communications, or education advocacy would be especially valuable. Podcast marketing experience is a plus, but not essential.
- We care more about your abilities, ideas, and commitment to our mission than your formal credentials.
Position Details:
- Part-time, approximately 6–10 hours per week to start
- Fully remote; applicants may live anywhere in the United States
- Flexible schedule
- Paid position, with compensation based on experience
- Initial three-month engagement, with the possibility of an ongoing relationship
