CodePath is the largest educator of college computer science students in the country. We have trained over 40,000 students from 1,000+ universities. Our partners include Amazon, Google, Meta, and 4,000+ companies across the industry. We’ve been training the next generation of technical talent for nearly a decade, and we just launched a $150M initiative with Anthropic, building one of the most ambitious AI workforce programs in the world.
We're now expanding into new markets and scaling our team so we can move at the speed AI is transforming the workforce. People joining CodePath now will have the opportunity to help architect the next frontier of our work.

About the Role
Location: Remote
Role Type: Full-Time
Reporting to: CEO
Compensation: $240,000 to $350,000 per year
As CodePath's first Chief Marketing Officer you'll own the full marketing function at CodePath, from brand and storytelling to performance, lifecycle, and conversion. You're the person who connects every touchpoint a learner, employer, or partner has with CodePath into one cohesive, high-performing system.
You own all of CodePath's marketing: brand, learner enrollment, and the B2B engine that powers our earned revenue. On the learner side, you run the growth machine that turns awareness into applications and enrollments. On the partner side, you equip the teams selling into universities and enterprises with the positioning, narratives, and product marketing that close deals.
You'll inherit a strong foundation: programs learners love, real outcomes, and the backing of partners like Amazon, Google, and Anthropic. Your job is to tie it all together, build the brand, scale the content machine, optimize the funnel, and make CodePath the defining name in AI-native tech education.

This is a high-stakes, player-coach role. You'll set the strategy, build the team with A-players, own brand and growth across every channel and program, and run it all as an AI-first operation.
The stakes are real. CodePath is scaling from tens of thousands toward millions of learners, growing toward hundreds of millions in revenue, and powering alumni careers that create billions in economic impact. The company's trajectory depends on what you build.

Own the marketing side of key funnels, from ad to landing page to application to enrollment, with consistent messaging at every step
Develop repeatable campaign playbooks so every launch doesn't start from scratch
Growth strategy

Support the earned revenue teams that partner with universities and enterprises, equipping them with positioning, narratives, and sales enablement
Build the B2B marketing engine: account-based programs, case studies, and demand generation for university and enterprise partners
Turn learner and alumni outcomes into proof that helps close university and enterprise deals
Team leadership
Lead and grow the marketing team: hire A-players, set high standards, and develop talent
Foster a culture of speed, ownership, and creative excellence
Run marketing as an AI-native team, setting the standard for AI use across content, creative, analytics, and campaign ops
Build scalable systems and workflows so the team moves fast without breaking things

Skills
AI-native: you don't just use AI tools, you architect marketing systems around them and get 10x leverage from the same headcount. You're at the frontier of AI-assisted brand, content, and growth operations
Exceptional brand instincts: you tell stories that make people feel something and then act
Strong analytical chops: you're at home in dashboards, cohort data, and funnel metrics, and you decide with data.

Results-driven, with a bias toward action and experimentation over perfection
Comfortable with ambiguity and rapid iteration in a fast-moving environment
Why this role exists now
CodePath is scaling toward millions of learners, and it's time for marketing to have a seat at the top table. Enrollment, employer trust, and brand reach have outgrown what a lean, generalist effort can carry. This role brings brand, performance, and product marketing under one executive for the first time, and makes that leader a peer to the CEO, accountable for the company narrative and the growth engine behind it.
This is a chance to build a category-defining, AI-native marketing organization at an education nonprofit with national reach, real outcomes, and the backing of partners like Amazon, Google, Anthropic, and Blue Meridian. Build the brand, scale the engine, and make CodePath the defining name in how the next generation gets into tech.

CodePath.org Insights
What We Do
We deliver industry-vetted courses and career support centered on the needs of first-generation and low-income students. Our students train with senior engineers, intern at top companies, and rise together to become the tech leaders of tomorrow. Breaking into the tech industry requires a number of factors: industry-relevant knowledge, connections, specific hard and soft skills, an understanding of how to navigate the job search, and the technical interviewing process. Many college CS programs don't have the depth of resources or support needed to practically set students up for career success, like keeping up with the latest industry trends, building employer partnerships, and providing access to critical internships where students can get a foothold in the industry. Even the most well-funded, prestigious programs can have gaps that prevent a comprehensive education.
Why Work With Us
We believe tech excellence can be within reach for anyone given the right resources and the chance to apply them. When you work here, you're helping make that real. If building a more inclusive future of tech alongside bright students, college programs, and top employers sounds like your kind of work, CodePath is the place.
