GreatSchools is experiencing strong growth in various areas including
advertising support, product management and other site developments
and enhancements. This is an exciting opportunity for the right
candidate.

This position will report directly to the Director, Online Marketing.
The position will also work closely with the Campaign Manager and the
entire Sales team, as a key contributor in a very tight knit team. Sales-Marketing support was originally 50% of the Director, Online Marketing role. We are now going to have 100% of this new role focus on Sales Marketing and sales support.

We are constantly working with sales on new campaigns and RFP's as
they come in. This role will therefore be working primarily on
driving and closing new business. Once a deal closes and goes into
implementation, the role will be working closely with the development
and engineering teams. This is a great balance of pre- and post-sales
support.

The world of online advertising and media is a dynamic, fast-paced environment. Finding the right balance between the needs and demands of the Sales team, and doing what's right for the organization as a whole will be the greatest opportunity for this role.

We currently reach 1 in 3 households in America that have children that are of a Pre-K through 12 age. We plan on continuing this reach and growth, and ultimately want to stay with parents throughout the entire cycle of their children's education.

We have a combination model of funding from philanthropic organizations as well as advertising and sponsorship revenue.
