About the role
Are you a strategic marketing professional who knows the K-12 education sector from the inside out? Do you want to work for a best-in-class, 100% remote organization with the brightest talent from around the world? If so, then keep reading…
At Sparkrock, we help social benefit organizations—such as nonprofits, school boards, and government agencies—reach their full potential through technology. Every day, over 150,000 people use our ERP and product platforms to work more efficiently, freeing up time and resources to focus on the good they want to achieve.
As our Marketing Manager - K-12, you will own the full marketing funnel from awareness through advocacy, for Sparkrock's K-12 education-focused products across North America. This is a dual-capacity role: part strategic marketing leader, part internal subject matter expert for K-12. Unlike standard marketing manager positions, you'll bridge the gap between our product and the K-12 market, translating complex educational challenges into compelling value propositions for the district leaders who live them every day.
In this role, you'll get in on the ground floor and help shape Sparkrock's K-12 marketing strategy. This segment is still being built, so you'll have real input and influence over its direction, leading go-to-market planning for new launches, developing audience-specific messaging for district finance and operations leaders, and owning the channels and campaigns that reach them. You'll thrive here if you're energized by building something new, do your best work when given real ownership, and see a blank page as an opportunity.
If you thrive at the intersection of deep K-12 sector knowledge, strategic marketing, and hands-on execution, this role is for you.
