The role

ReUp Education is seeking a thoughtful and creative Content Marketing Strategist to develop a suite of written and visual assets that move the needle for the success of our student and university audiences. In this role, you will serve as an internal “microservice” of sorts, working across ReUp teams on both ad hoc and long-term content needs. By managing the development of impactful content for all stages on the path to graduation, you’ll enable us to achieve our ambitious goal of re-enrolling and supporting millions of college students.

The Content Marketing Strategist will contribute to materials spanning a range of digital mediums, and will also be responsible for the project management of concurrent deliverables, including managing external creative partners as needed. You’ll also play a key role in strategy, roadmapping, and identifying gaps where a lack of content may be an opportunity to further build student / partner interest and trust.

This is an opportunity to play a valuable role in a growing early-stage startup as we tackle a huge problem that affects a largely underserved population. If you’re a natural self-starter interested in combining creativity with strategy to transform people’s lives, come join us!
