Digital Learning Specialist

Padlet is building software for a good education. A good education is one that inspires curiosity, creativity, and community. Our software enables that through visual content creation and collaboration in millions of classrooms worldwide.

We can all agree that Christianity is a great product. It's 2000 years old and brings spiritual fulfillment to over 2 billion people worldwide. But it wasn't Jesus who took Christianity to the masses. It took someone like St Paul to make it a thing. His thirteen letters (tailored, by the way, to each recipient) were instrumental in forming the Christian identity and early Christian communities.

Moral of this (slightly irreverent) story? Marketing is important, no matter how good a product is. People don't just see a product and magically know how to use it to make their life better. Someone needs to teach them.

We are looking for an exceptional Digital Learning Specialist to spread the gospel of Padlet to our education users. This is an in-person role in San Francisco.
