Hello, World! Codecademy has helped tens of millions of learners upgrade their careers, build meaningful projects and gain confidence in their skills with engaging, accessible, and flexible education on programming and data skills. We provide hands-on interactive lessons ranging from Python to R to Javascript and everything in between. Our learners have gone on to start companies, new jobs, and new lives thanks to what they’ve learned with Codecademy, and we’re thrilled to be working to take that impact to the next level.

Codecademy was started in 2011 by two college students in a dorm room at Columbia that were frustrated by the huge gap between education and employment. Almost a decade later, we are a rapidly growing, diverse team of about 200 distributed through North America and headquartered in SoHo, NYC. We’ve raised over $87.5m in venture capital funding from top investors including Kleiner Perkins, Naspers, Owl Ventures, Union Square Ventures, Y Combinator, and more.

As the Chief Marketing Office of the company, you will champion the go-to-market strategy of the company leading the effort to take our innovative products and content to millions of users across a diverse set of audiences throughout the world. You will make strategic investments across the marketing stack to build inclusive communication representative of our global audience, user acquisition and retention capabilities to meet near term as well as long term business goals. You will build a high performing diverse team and manage execution to achieve strong results in a capital efficient and sustainable manner.
