Hi, we’re Standard Co and we’re looking for a part time marketing contractor to help us tell our story. For the past 10 years we’ve worked in global health, using data to better track donated medicine. It’s super cool but marketing to that space was super tricky.
But 1 year ago we discovered there was a need for our platform in education. We call it Standard Education because we are awesome at naming things. We now work with a few different school districts to aggregate data to help school and district administrators better understand their students. Our customers have said things like “this is a total game changer” and “we’ve never had this level of data that updates in real time” and “fewer kids are going to fail because we now have this data” and “y'all really need to hire someone in marketing". So yeah, here we are! Details on what we're looking for below:
What you’ll be responsible for:
Things we gotta have:
Semi regular newsletter (bi weekly? monthly? you'll help us figure that out)
Writing up case studies
Identifying conferences we should attend
Identifying target customers
Things that would be pretty rad to have:
Creating a lead gen strategy
Helping to rebuild our Standard Education website
Who you are:
An extremely nice and humble person. We put a premium on nice people who like to learn.
You enjoy building things that do good in the world.
You're self motivated. Since we're a remote first company, we let people work where and when they want. Our goal is to get things done. Not dictate where and when you do those things.
You have a good sense of humor. Look, life is challenging enough without taking it all too seriously. We like to embed a little humor in what we do.
Thinking about the customer is something you're super into. Like how do we solve their problems? What are their problems? Do they love Eddie Vedder as much as we do?!? That sort of thing.
You want to be part of a "startup" (ok we're not really a startup) that's looking to grow.
If you read this and thought "wow, this is my gig", send an email to radicaljobs@standardco.de. In that email include a link to your linkedin profile (resumes? what's a resume?) and a short writing example. Feel free to send previous newsletters, case studies, or whatever.
The unofficial mascot of Standard Education (we have not asked Eddie Vedder for his consent but surely he loves helping kids, right?!?)
