Everyday Speech is a leader in Social-Emotional Learning. Primarily a teaching solution for public schools, our Social Learning Platform (SLP) provides educators with curriculum materials for students of ALL ages across special education and general education classes. Our curriculums teach students the strategies and life skills they need to regulate their emotions, solve problems, cope with the stresses of modern life, and interact with the world around them. Our platform is used in 2,500 school districts in the US and has impacted millions of students around the world.Everyday Speech is right for you if:

You care about making a positive impact.

End each day knowing that your work had a direct impact on the well-being of hundreds of thousands of at-risk students across the world. Project success means more than just shipping features - it means improving the lives of students and educators.

You value being a part of a company that takes care of its team.

Not only do we have extremely happy team members, we also have incredible perks. Participate in our health/wellness and retirement benefit offerings, and between having every other Friday off (3-day weekends!) and our flexible PTO plan, that elusive work-life balance is an actual thing here.

You want to work for a true, remote-only company.

We’ve never had an office and never will. Our team is spread across 11 countries and 4 continents. We take remote work seriously and know how to support a distributed team. We give you the flexibility to work in a way that’s best for you, but still have high standards and accountability.

You want to join a startup that is growing rapidly *and* sustainably.

We have launched new products, maintained NPS scores of 70+, maintained eNPS (internal, employee score) of 90+, rapidly grown our team, and exponentially increased our user base, all over the last few years. Yet, as a fully bootstrapped company, our growth is organic and sustainable. Our focus is delivering value to students and educators, not paying back investors.

As a member of the Content Department, the Lead Content Creator will be responsible for leading effective project brainstorms, directing and managing team user research and proposing opportunities for content expansion.

The ideal candidate is someone that is values aligned:

Starts with empathy, knowing when to praise and when to challenge.
Ruthlessly prioritizes and says no to the “trivial many” in exchange for saying yes to the “vital few”.
Creates momentum, not letting the small stuff hold them back and learning through action.
Is fearlessly objective, constantly asking “Why?” and is not afraid to find answers, even if it means they were wrong.
Exercises agency, solving problems no one asked them to solve and speaking up when something isn’t working.

Your work will have a significant impact on the content educators and students experience within our platform.

In this role, you will:

Edit videos with live action and animation for clinical and marketing purposes in cross-functional teams
Create briefs and scripts for one off projects and pilot content in collaboration with clinicians, marketers and other content creators
Provide feedback on storyboards and other team projects
Lead user research to uncover new content opportunities the team can expand on, including interviewing and talking directly with our users
Develop materials for different teaching methods within the social emotional learning sphere
Assess market/competitors for new content development opportunities
Potentially perform on-site observations at US schools

What We’re Looking For:

In addition to values alignment…

Expertise in Adobe Suite video editing software (including Adobe After Effects and Adobe Premiere Pro)
Experience in character animation and motion graphics
Experience in live action video editing and audio editing (including sfx, background music and audio restoration)
Knowledge in storyboard creation
Knowledge in user research
Experience in content exploration
Experience in metrics and data driven decision making
Experience in leading complex projects successfully and working cross functionally
Experience in Agile work

In the short term (the first 3 months), you will:

Understand our users and product through conducting user research and platform exploration
Work with the Video Team on our monthly release sprints
Lead exploratory brainstorms to help uncover new content opportunities

In the Long term, you will:

Lead specific projects and initiatives, coordinating efforts and ensuring successful outcomes
Set broader performance goals and OKRs in collaboration with department leadership
Foster a collaborative and inclusive environment within the team, encouraging communication and content innovation
