What if K-12 education were designed to help all students develop lives of meaning and purpose? Wayfinder was founded at the Stanford d.school to answer this question. Our goal is to double our impact each year for the coming years. Our vision is to become the preeminent SEL curriculum company in the world — leading the global movement of purpose, meaning, and belonging-based education worldwide.
You’ll be joining a team of incredibly motivated and dedicated staff members committed to living our organization's values. We work collaboratively across teams, and we feel and act like a purpose-driven organization. To the best of our abilities, each person’s role aligns with their own sense of purpose, which feeds into Wayfinder’s larger sense of purpose.

We value access, equity, diversity, and belonging, and these values are represented in our product, our team, and our school partners.
Product: We develop our learning tools using human-centered design principles. We work with grade-level experts to ensure our curriculum is developmentally appropriate and engaging at all levels. Every Wayfinder lesson is supported by relevant research, prototyped in classrooms, and vetted by teachers over rounds of feedback and iteration. We use Universal Design for Learning principles to give every student an equal opportunity to succeed.
Team: Our team is composed of people from all different backgrounds and walks of life. We intentionally recruit, hire, and work with people of diverse identities + experiences. We focus on belonging: being connected, accepted, and valued by the people around us.
School Partners: We intentionally target a wide array of educational partners, from traditional to non-traditional, that work with a range of students from different socioeconomic groups. We’ve taught our curriculum in high-need schools in the Bronx, independent schools in Silicon Valley, and after-school programs in San Antonio.
Wayfinder is looking for an education-focused Marketing Manager who specializes in PreK-12. This is a new position on the Marketing team, reporting to the Senior Director of Marketing. In this position, you’ll play an integral role in increasing market awareness, creating authentic content about our products + curriculum, and supercharging marketing efficacy throughout the Wayfinder customer journey.
Our ideal candidate is an education marketer, first and foremost: You know the PreK-12 space like the back of your hand and have previous experience in marketing roles. You’re an excellent communicator who knows how to get things done. You love a to-do list and don’t need someone to write the to-do list for you.
You’ll be responsible for developing and executing effective product and content marketing strategies tailored to the education sector. Leveraging HubSpot for campaign management and data-driven decision-making, you'll target both current and prospective school partners. Collaborating closely with cross-functional teams, you’ll create integrated marketing campaigns aimed at driving customer growth and loyalty.
This is the perfect role for someone passionate about PreK-12 education who is a meticulous marketer and project manager. We want your help to make a difference in the lives of as many students as possible. Watch this video to learn more about how you’ll help schools develop social-emotional and future-ready skills.
