About Hop Skip Drive

At Hop Skip Drive , our mission is to create opportunity for all through mobility. We’re the leader in safe, fast, and simple supplemental student transportation. Through our marketplace, we connect kids to highly-vetted caregivers on wheels. Through our software, we solve the biggest transportation challenges facing schools and school districts across the country.

Founded by three moms as a solution to their own transportation challenges, we’ve now facilitated more than five million rides across over 20states. We continue to grow rapidly — earning a spot on the Inc. 5000 list numerous times and the Deloitte 500 Fast-Growing Technology list. Hop Skip Drive  is a Series D company and has raised $100M to date.

How we work

We’re an AI-forward company, and we expect every person on our team to be too. We use AI tools to do our best work — drafting, analyzing, building, and shipping faster than we could without them — and we invest in training, share what works, and govern AI use thoughtfully. We don’t expect you to be an expert when you start.

We do expect you to be curious, willing to learn, and ready to use the best tools available to move our mission forward.

We’re remote-first, mission-driven, and built for people who want to do work that matters with people who hold a high bar.

Hop Skip Drive ’s go-to-market organization is the engine behind our growth. We sell to school districts, government agencies, and nonprofits — buyers who are mission-driven, relationship-dependent, and move on their own timeline. That means our marketing function has to do more than generate leads; it has to build the credibility, educate the market, and create the pipeline that a complex B2B sales cycle demands.

We’re at an inflection point. We have strong brand recognition in our space, a maturing product, and an aggressive growth agenda. We are looking for a leader who can build a true revenue marketing function that operates in lockstep with Sales, is accountable to pipeline and revenue outcomes, and scales efficiently as we expand into new markets.

Hop Skip Drive  is a multi-sided marketplace. School districts, government agencies, and nonprofits are our buyers who organize and fund transportation for the students (and their parents) who use the service; and Care Drivers are caregivers on wheels who come to our platform to earn safe, flexible income.

As VP of Marketing, you will own the entire B2B marketing motion  will drive the full customer and user journey for our institutional buyers, who manage budgets and contracts, as well as the families and riders whose daily experiences heavily influence those buying decisions. You’ll sit on our senior leadership team and report directly to the CEO.

• Own the full B2B marketing function: brand, demand generation, field and events marketing, RFPs, customer advocacy, product marketing, sales enablement, lifecycle and growth marketing.
• Lead product marketing as a core competency: market intelligence, client engagement and advocacy, competitive positioning, go-to-market launches, pricing and packaging strategy, and sales enablement that actually changes how a sales team sells. We use the Challenger methodology, and need someone familiar with how to sell, market, engage and communicate within that framework.
• Build and execute a revenue marketing strategy where every investment connects to pipeline, revenue and retention outcomes, not traffic, impressions, or MQL volume.
• Drive the RFP function in partnership with Sales. This is a meaningful part of how we win new business in the public sector, and it needs to be treated as a strategic capability, not a reactive one.
• Own the entire demand gen engine, which is not only our…
