Associate Product Marketing Manager

inquirED was founded by teachers to bring rigorous and joyful learning to every student. We’re a fast-growing start-up, serving more educators and students every day. Inkwell, our integrated ELA and social studies curriculum, brings two core subjects studies together into one coherent instructional experience that builds knowledge and literacy skills, saves time and resources, and supports meaningful learning for both students and teachers. Inquiry Journeys, our elementary social studies curriculum, is used in schools and districts across the country to help students develop deep social studies knowledge and the inquiry skills essential for a thriving democracy. Join our team of designers, advocates, guides, thought leaders, and makers to help us make an even greater impact. Together, we can shape the future of education. About the role inquirED was founded by educators, and we build curriculum for real classrooms. The best people to market it are people who already understand those classrooms and the educators and leaders who decide what gets used in them. Description As our Associate Product Marketing Manager, you'll bring that understanding to how we tell the story of our products, and we'll teach you the craft of product marketing as you go. Maybe you've taught, and you know the classroom from the inside. Maybe you're early in a sales or marketing career at an education company, and you already know how districts decide. Either way, you bring something we can't teach, and we'll help you build a marketing career on top of it. You’ll support go-to-market work across our portfolio, with a front-row seat to the launch of Inkwell, our new integrated K–2 ELA and social studies curriculum. This is a build-and-learn role on a small team. You'll do real, visible work from day one, learn directly from our Head of Marketing, and grow into broader ownership over time. Responsibilities Produce launch and sales enablement materials (one-pagers, slide decks, FAQs, email copy) from established messaging and clear direction. Support go-to-market execution for the Inkwell launch and across the portfolio: keep deliverables moving, track timelines, and handle the coordination that keeps launches on schedule. Talk to educators and district leaders. Run customer and win/loss interviews, gather customer stories, and synthesize what you hear so the team can act on it. Bring real-world understanding of educators and buyers into the room. Pressure-test our materials and messaging for whether they'd actually land with the people who use and choose curriculum. Maintain competitive intelligence by tracking what other curriculum companies are doing and keeping it organized and current for the team. Draft copy and messaging grounded in how educators and district leaders actually think, refined together with the team. Requirements One of the following: classroom teaching experience, or 1–3 years in a sales, marketing, customer success, or go-to-market role at an education, edtech, or curriculum company. A working understanding of the K–12 curriculum market: how districts evaluate, pilot, and adopt curriculum. Strong, clear writing. You can translate complex ideas for both educator and district-leader audiences. Organized, reliable, and coachable. You execute well, ask questions, and genuinely want to learn product marketing. Comfortable with ambiguity and variety on a small, collaborative team.
