We're hiring a hands-on Growth Marketing Lead to create engaging social content and manage a small team of high school interns. You'll help more students discover Snowday by turning ideas into compelling posts, guiding interns from project brief to finished work, and using performance data to improve what we publish.

You'll work directly with the founders to set priorities and explore additional growth projects across influencer partnerships, search, and community outreach. Together, we'll agree on a focused, manageable set of priorities within your 20-hour week.

What You'll Own

• Intern leadership: Manage and mentor high school interns, serving as their main point of contact on Wednesdays. Set clear briefs, assign work, track progress, give constructive feedback, and hold the team accountable for quality and deadlines.
• Social and community content: Create and oversee content for Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn, X, Facebook, and relevant online communities. Own the publishing calendar and scheduling of social and promotional content.
• Paid campaigns: Plan, create, launch, and monitor ads and boosted posts across selected platforms; use performance data to improve creative, targeting, and spend.

• Familiarity with major social platforms, especially Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and LinkedIn, and a feel for content that connects with its audience.
• Curiosity about growth marketing, startups, education, and creator communities, with an interest in marketing, communications, business, media, entrepreneurship, or a related field.
