Reporting to the Director of Product Marketing, you’ll be responsible for differentiating Newsela ELA in the market through buyer and market insights, product requirements, marketing content, and sales enablement efforts. You’ll also partner with colleagues on the Product and Marketing teams to bring new products and features to market with launch and promotional plans that will resonate with our target audiences. 

You will: 

  • Gather and synthesize user, buyer, competitor, and market insights and deliver them as product requirements to inform Newsela’s Product roadmap.
  • Own planning and GTM execution for Newsela product and feature launches. 
  • Develop and maintain product messaging and marketing materials that differentiate Newsela’s literacy solution in the market among buyers.
  • Build and deliver enablement materials to ensure Newsela’s externally-facing teams are prepared to effectively deliver our value propositions to customers.
  • Support go-to-market efforts to expand Newsela ELA’s reach in international markets. 

Why you’ll love this role:

  • You’ll be part of an organization solving real challenges in K-12 education, and the highly visible internal and external materials you develop will have a direct and measurable impact on Newsela’s business. 
  • Your work will shape the future of Newsela’s most essential products, which are loved by teachers in all 50 states and multiple countries, and you’ll work to ensure those same products resonate with district decision makers. 
  • On any given day you could be collaborating with passionate teammates from Product Management and Design, Sales and Customer Success, Business Development, and of course, Marketing. 
  • You will have the opportunity to share insights that improve the Newsela product and the user experience.
  • Your work will directly impact engagement and usage of Newsela products in K-12 classrooms nationwide.

Why you’re a great fit:

  • You have a bachelor's degree in marketing, business, or a related field.
  • You’re a collaborative marketer who has been in a B2B Product Marketing role for at least 5 years, ideally with some of that time in K-12 education.
  • You have experience launching new products and features, developing product value propositions, and building and maintaining buyer personas.
  • You’ve created marketing assets that run the gamut from sales enablement resources and competitive battlecards to webinars and product videos, and you love digging into marketing performance data to understand what content and formats resonate most with your target audiences. 
  • You’re a natural communicator with excellent written and verbal communication skills, and you can synthesize complex information into a compelling story. 
  • You are organized and collaborative, capable of managing complex, interdependent projects and maintaining multiple workstreams.
  • You have a user-centric approach and strong desire to deliver valuable experiences to users and make an impact in K-12 education.

Base compensation: $90,000 - $100,000. Total compensation for this role also includes incentive stock options and benefits. This compensation range may be adjusted based on actual experience.

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 Newsela’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 "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.

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.
