About ELV

Early Learning Ventures strengthens the childcare ecosystem through technology and shared-services solutions, helping providers spend less time on paperwork and more time with kids. We're expanding across 20+ states, and marketing is central to that growth.

Early Learning Ventures is transforming the childcare landscape through innovative technology and shared-services solutions that empower providers to spend less time on administrative tasks and more time delivering high-quality care and education to children. As our impact continues to grow across more than 20 states, marketing plays a critical role in expanding our reach, deepening engagement, and advancing our mission. This is an exciting opportunity to help elevate a purpose-driven organization that is shaping the future of early childhood education nationwide

About the Role

This newly created leadership role offers an exceptional opportunity for a high-performing marketing professional ready to take the next step in their career. Ideal for someone who has successfully led campaigns and strategic initiatives, this position provides the chance to own and shape the entire marketing function.

Reporting directly to the Executive Director, you will drive the organization's brand strategy, content, communications, and marketing campaigns while leading and mentoring a marketing team member. Rather than being one contributor on a large team, you will serve as the primary marketing leader—partnering closely with executive leadership to influence strategy, elevate visibility, and accelerate organizational growth.

As ELV continues to expand, this role offers significant autonomy, visibility, and a clear pathway for professional growth, allowing you to build both the marketing function and your leadership impact alongside the organization.

What You'll Do

• Develop and execute ELV's marketing and communications strategy with the Executive Director, aligned to national expansion goals and measurable KPIs
• Own brand positioning, messaging, and visual identity, establishing ELV as a thought leader in early childhood education technology
• Lead content across web, social, and email.
• Design and run campaigns supporting membership growth, state partnerships, and provider acquisition, with performance tracking
• Create pitch decks, impact reports, and proposal materials for high-priority partnership and state-contract opportunities
• Manage event marketing for conferences, webinars, and summits
• Manage and mentor one marketing team member
• Build media and partner relationships, and manage marketing operations, budget, vendors, and tools across internal teams

What You Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in marketing, Communications, Business, or a related field
• 4+ years of marketing and communications experience, including time owning campaigns or projects and ready to step into a lead role
• Hands-on experience building and running campaigns, ideally for technology-enabled, SaaS, or mission-driven organizations
• Working knowledge across brand, content, digital campaigns, and stakeholder communications
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including executive-level content
• Experience managing projects, vendors, or budgets across teams
• Familiarity with CRM, marketing automation, CMS, analytics, and design tools
• A growth mindset, you want ownership, feedback, and a path to advance

Preferred: nonprofit, early childhood education, edtech, or social impact background; B2B or public-sector partnership experience; and bilingual English/Spanish

Compensation

• Salary: $67,136–$75,000 annually

What ELV Offers

• Company-paid life, short-term, and long-term disability insurance
• 401(k) with company match
• Company-paid Employee Assistance Program
• Paid vacation, personal days, holidays, and sick days
