Role Description

We're looking for a detail-obsessed, fast-moving conference operator to own our presence at 10+ EdTech events per year. Your core mission: get educators into our world — through activations, programming, and experiences that drive awareness, first-time adoption, and word-of-mouth. This is a 6-month contract role with the potential to convert to full-time based on performance and team fit. You'll report to the Educator Engagement Lead and work closely with teams across marketing, product, and customer success.

What You'll Own

  • Conference planning & logistics:
    • Manage end-to-end conference operations across an annual calendar of 10+ events (ISTE, SXSWedu, ASU+GSV, FETC, NCEA, CUE, and others).
    • Own booth logistics, shipping, vendor coordination, swag procurement, and staffing.
    • Track sponsorship deliverables and deadlines.
  • Educator activation & experience design:
    • Design booth experiences, lounge programming, and session formats that pull educators in and leave a strong impression.
    • Build run-of-show docs and session schedules.
    • Coordinate award programs and recognition moments that build goodwill and brand affinity with the educator community.
  • New user & educator outreach:
    • Drive first-time educator sign-ups and trial activations through on-site demos, hands-on experiences, and clear onboarding pathways.
    • Partner with marketing on pre-event outreach and post-event nurture to convert conference contacts into active users.
  • Lead capture & follow-through:
    • Own badge scan setup, contact deduplication, and CRM upload.
    • Build structured post-event reports tracking reach, engagement quality, and new user metrics.
    • Route contacts to the right follow-up sequences based on educator type and interest level.
  • Project tracking & budget management:
    • Maintain conference timelines in Asana or equivalent.
    • Track budgets against actuals and reconcile expenses.
    • Evaluate new event opportunities based on audience fit and potential for educator reach — not just attendance numbers.

Qualifications

  • 3–5 years in EdTech, K-12, or educator-facing marketing, community, or engagement roles
  • Experience owning conference or event operations end-to-end
  • Track record of driving user growth or educator adoption — not just attendance
  • Strong project management skills; comfort with Asana or similar
  • Excellent written communication for both internal updates and educator-facing copy
  • Comfortable working remotely and managing autonomously across time zones
  • Willingness to travel 20–30% of the year for on-site events

Requirements

  • Familiarity with the major EdTech conference calendar (ISTE, SXSWedu, ASU+GSV, etc.)
  • Experience designing onboarding flows or educator activation programs
  • Background in email marketing or lifecycle nurture (Iterable, HubSpot, or similar)
  • Exposure to lead capture tools and post-event deduplication workflows
  • Experience managing swag vendors and branded merchandise production
  • Familiarity with free-tier or freemium educator product models

Benefits

  • Hourly Rate of $43–$50
