ClassDojo's goal is to give every child on Earth an education they love.

We started by building a powerful network for communication. ClassDojo’s flagship app is the #1 communication app connecting K-8 teachers, children, and families globally. Teachers use it to share what’s happening throughout the day through photos, videos, and messages that make parents feel like they’re there. It’s actively used in over 95% of US schools, reaching over 50 million children in 180 countries, with a team of just around 200 people [1]. We are now beginning to use this network to give kids the best learning experiences in the world, far beyond those a standard school can provide.

We hire for talent density. Our team comprises the most talented, entrepreneurial, and innovative teammates from around the world, with experience in education and large scale consumer internet companies, including Instagram, Netflix, Dropbox, Stripe, Uber, Y Combinator, and more. We’re building a company where the most talented people want to work. We believe you’ll do the best work of your life here—and you’ll pioneer the future of education, too.

What you’ll do:

As the 0 to 1 Marketing Leader, you will play a critical role in experimenting with and scaling go-to-market (GTM) strategies designed to accelerate ClassDojo’s network and revenue growth from the ground up. You’ll grow ClassDojo from where we are to our next order of magnitude, while deepening love for our brand.

You will collaborate closely with our co-founders, CTO, Head of Product, Head of Marketing, and cross-functional teams to create and test innovative marketing strategies that resonate with our network of tens of millions of children and families. Your role will be both strategic and hands-on, requiring you to turn data, research, and intuition into effective GTM tactics that drive significant growth.

You will be a match if:

  • You have at least 8 years of experience in marketing or growth, with a strong focus on consumer products and GTM strategies.
  • You have successfully led marketing efforts that resulted in significant market-channel fit and growth.
  • You have experience in high-growth environments, ideally as part of the founding team or in a role with equivalent accountability.
  • You have a deep understanding of how to drive both network growth and revenue generation, particularly within subscription-based or marketplace models with strong network effects.
  • You possess a strong grasp of marketing strategy, from product positioning to go-to-market execution, and are skilled at experimenting with new approaches to drive results.
  • You have a strong creative intuition and understand what resonates with consumers.
  • You are skilled in both qualitative and quantitative research methods, and you can translate insights into actionable GTM strategies.
  • You thrive in resource-constrained environments and are comfortable moving quickly to test and scale new ideas.
  • Your communication is clear and concise, enabling you to articulate complex ideas effectively to a variety of stakeholders.

Why You’ll Love Working at ClassDojo:

  • You’ll be part of a team that is transforming education globally and making a meaningful impact on the lives of millions of children.
  • You’ll have the opportunity to experiment with and scale innovative marketing strategies that drive significant network and revenue growth.
  • You’ll work with a talented, mission-driven team that’s passionate about giving every child an education they love.

If you’re excited about pioneering the future of education and driving the growth of a global consumer education brand from the ground up, we’d love to hear from you

Voluntary Self-Identification

For government reporting purposes, we ask candidates to respond to the below self-identification survey. Completion of the form is entirely voluntary. Whatever your decision, it will not be considered in the hiring process or thereafter. Any information that you do provide will be recorded and maintained in a confidential file.

As set forth in ClassDojo’s Equal Employment Opportunity policy, we do not discriminate on the basis of any protected group status under any applicable law.

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
