CommonLit is a nonprofit edtech organization dedicated to closing the literacy opportunity gap, which disproportionately affects students living in poverty. To achieve this goal, CommonLit provides a highly effective, comprehensive reading program used by millions of teachers. We are a team of passionate professionals, many of whom are former teachers.
The Opportunity
CommonLit is looking for a Marketing Associate (Contractor) to support the creation of clean, on-brand materials across teams and manage our growing social media presence.

You don’t need to be a formally trained designer, but you do need to be sharp, detail-oriented, creative, confident working within a brand system, and excited about growing CommonLit’s online presence.
The time commitment required for this role is 10-15 hours per week and our target onboarding date is late June to early July.
