Overview of CommonLit

CommonLit is a nonprofit education technology organization dedicated to ensuring that all students, especially students in Title I schools, graduate with the reading, writing, communication, and problem-solving skills they need to be successful in college and beyond. We envision a world where all students get the opportunity to have a world class education. We operate an online reading program for grades 3-12, www.CommonLit.org, that is used by teachers in over 90,000 American schools.

The Opportunity

CommonLit’s Marketing Team is looking for a true force multiplier – a Product Marketing Specialist who will bring clarity and consistency to how we talk about what CommonLit is and why it matters. Our team markets a curriculum, a text library, assessments, professional development, implementation services, and a distinct pedagogical POV, all under one brand. We are seeking someone who will be wholly dedicated to owning the translation layer between our products and our market: developing the messaging frameworks, collateral, and content that help districts understand CommonLit, trust it, and choose it.

We are looking for our first Product Marketer to join the team, a Product Marketing Specialist, who will level-up our team’s approach to positioning and external communication in service of our mission and goals. This candidate is someone who can both immediately jump into urgent messaging and collateral work and build the foundational systems that ensure our marketing stays sharp, consistent, and effective in years to come.
