Senior Performance Marketer, Paid Search (3-Month Contract to Hire)

Outschool’s mission is to inspire kids to love learning. In our fast‑changing world, the traditional educational system struggles to meet the diverse and evolving needs of young learners. Outschool reimagines this system, offering flexible and engaging learning experiences as a supplement and alternative to traditional education. By connecting learners with a global community of teachers and peers through our online platform, we make learning personal, dynamic, and deeply human.

We've made significant strides since launching our marketplace of live online classes in 2017. Finding initial success with secular homeschoolers, we then expanded to enrichment learning to meet the needs of a wider audience, growing our business 16× since 2019. Post‑pandemic, we have evolved our platform to power academic learning, incorporated AI, and have begun to grow our international community.

We’re proud to have served over 1.5 million passionate learners with more than $100 million in annual bookings.

We're looking for a Senior Performance Marketer, Search to own and scale our Google, Bing and ChatGPT program as a dedicated, high‑impact channel.
