Founding Marketing Lead

Outsmart is a mission-driven, early-stage startup reimagining higher education for the age of AI by creating an entirely new collegiate experience that expands access and opportunity. Backed by $38M from top venture firms including Khosla Ventures, Forerunner, DST Global Partners, and Lightspeed, the company is led by former Duolingo executives and a founding team that also includes Emmy Award winners. With a strong culture centered around high-impact, detail-oriented team members, Outsmart is already seeing significant traction, generating 1–5 million weekly organic views on social media.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Your biggest job is simple: help us find repeatable ways to grow Outsmart. You’ll look across channels, identify opportunities, form hypotheses, and test them quickly and scrappily. That will include owning PR and finding ways to earn free and scalable attention, developing and running creator strategies, building our YouTube presence, and whatever else you discover.

• We don’t expect you to be an expert in every marketing discipline. We do expect you to be curious enough to figure things out, resourceful enough to start without a playbook, and hands-on enough to execute.
