Ello Marketing Associate manages creative contractor pipelines and supports marketing operations for Ello, an AI reading and math teacher for kids. Coordinates content production and contributes to marketing strategy execution.
Responsibilities
We're hiring our first Marketing Associate: a bold, creative, outside-the-box thinker who's sharpened their instincts at consumer brands people love to talk about. You know what makes a hook land, a stunt spread and a comment section light up, and you're excited to bring that energy somewhere new.
Ello is an AI reading and math teacher for kids, and we believe learning deserves marketing that's as fun as it is meaningful. We want our work to be funny, surprising and genuinely shareable while earning trust with families and empowering the parent. You'll help us make that happen.
You'll be the connective tissue across our organic and paid creative pipelines and Ello's day-to-day point of contact for our roster of creators (UGC, organic and paid), keeping the production line moving: sourcing, briefing, script approvals, scheduling and follow-through. Beyond creator ops, you'll plug in wherever the team needs you as we scale toward launch: pulling reporting, uploading content, setting up ad campaigns, supporting events, and making sensible day-to-day calls so senior folks aren't drowning in coordination work.
This is an entry-level seat with an unusual amount of surface area. The right person is hungry, organized enough to own the coordination work, and creative enough to be more than an executor. You'll partner closely with our Creative Strategy Lead (Sanna Nour), Growth Marketing Lead (Cole Nielsen), and the broader marketing team.
We're looking for someone who is immediately available for a full-time, 6-month contract and can work in-person in our SF office in the Mission 3 days/week.
Creator pipeline coordination and content ideation (core, ~65%)
Own day-to-day management of our creative contractor pipelines for organic and paid: sourcing creators, pitching them on Ello, negotiating rates within set budgets, and onboarding them to our process.
Be the primary point of contact for creators: brief them, review and confirm scripts against our guidelines, route feedback from internal stakeholders, and keep production timelines on track.
Maintain a clean, up-to-date roster of active creators, scripts in flight and content delivered, so the team always knows what's shipping when.
Generate organic content ideas grounded in our brand direction and what's resonating culturally. Bring fresh concepts weekly.
Pitch and help bring to life marketing stunts and IRL moments, from scrappy street activations to bigger cultural plays, that give us something worth posting about.
Spot trends, sounds and formats early, and move fast to get Ello in on them in a way that feels native, not forced.
Qualification
A mischievous streakA creator portfolio of your ownFamiliarity with NotionWe Look for Candidates Who
Preferred
Experience at a consumer brand with a distinct voice (DTC, food and bev, beauty, apps, entertainment). You know how a brand earns attention in a feed, not just how it describes itself.
A mischievous streak. You're not afraid of well-done clickbait, and you know the difference between a bold idea that earns a parent's trust and a cheap one that spends it.
Hands-on experience running creator or UGC pipelines at an agency, brand, or as a contractor.
Experience writing short-form copy or scripts. You can draft a hook, caption or brief without much hand-holding.
A creator portfolio of your own, even a small one, that shows you understand the platform from the inside.
Experience planning or executing guerrilla marketing, pop-ups or stunts, especially ones that went viral or earned press.
Familiarity with Notion, Slack, and Figma, or you're a quick study.
