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 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 growing, diverse team of 100+ headquartered in SoHo, NYC. We’ve raised over $85M in venture capital funding from top investors including Union Square Ventures, Kleiner Perkins, Naspers, Y Combinator, and more.

If you want to help build a business that impacts tens of millions of people each year and helps them lead better lives, join us!

• Utilize best practices, campaign analysis tools, and hypothesis testing to continually improve campaign performance. Communicate results and learnings with all stakeholders.
  

What You’ll Need:

• 4-6 years of product marketing or integrated marketing experience; some experience in consumer technology preferred.

• Strong empathy for the end user. Obsession with understanding user problems and needs. Experience developing personas and audience targeting strategies.
• Strong analytical skills, including familiarity and understanding of Google Analytics, Looker, or similar tools.
• Experience doing qualitative and quantitative user research and documenting and evangelizing user insights across the company.
• Ability to independently drive multiple projects at a time, meet tight deadlines, and push projects further than expected.
• Extremely strong communication and interpersonal skills, and ability to work cross-functionally with a variety of partners.

What Will Make You Stand Out:
