Benefits
Working at OnYourMark
Be a founding member on a national team that is dedicated to building OnYourMark in service of our tutors and young readers across the country! We embrace the following values in all we do:
Children First—Our work is rooted in what is best for students at all times. We embrace the science of reading while ensuring student learning and social emotional needs are elevated in all moments.
Bold Innovation—We think and work BIG and refuse to be limited by what’s been done in the past as we set course for the future
High Quality Service—We cut through the noise to focus on great experiences for all our people (students, tutors, candidates and school partners all included!) We do this through a balance between support and accountability so all can thrive.
Inclusive—We center diversity, equity, and inclusion of experience, thought, and action in all areas of our work. We actively seek out perspectives that are different from our own, lean into discomfort, and examine how our biases impact ourselves and others.
Empowerment—We bring out the best of what is already inside of others. Our students become readers, our tutors become stronger teachers, our staff become door openers, and our organization is continuously improving.
All OnYourMark teammates are fully remote and enjoy the flexibilities that come with that. We work hard and thrive in a supportive environment that is really “All In” as required in a startup while centering each teammate as a whole person with real life needs and responsibilities (like picking kids up from school, going to the doctor, working out etc.) beyond our professional commitments.
One of our key mantras is “find a need and fill the need.” In practice this means often stepping outside the lanes of our job descriptions to lend a hand to whatever task is most pressing across the organization, from helping to interview tutor candidates, to getting students set up with the technology needed to be able to connect for sessions. There really is no job too big or too small for any teammate.
Problem-solvers and self-starters thrive at OnYourMark. There are natural ebbs and flows to the work that often mean long hours at the start of sessions and then role specific flexibilities that center around a more traditional work week. We also work across the country so early mornings or later evenings are possible depending on a teammate’s timezone and where the schools we serve are located.
Our work is fully virtual. Offices are based out of a home office, anywhere in the U.S. Some travel (<25%) may be required. OnYourMark offers a competitive benefits package.
Expected compensation at or around $170,000 – 200,000 annually, commensurate with experience.
