The Knowledge Society (TKS) is a global human accelerator focused on developing young people (ages 13-18) to impact billions. In TKS, students learn about solving problems using emerging technologies, develop foundational mindsets, and build real-world skills, while being part of a global community of like-minded people.
Our vision is to help create the next generation of unicorn people - people who impact billions. In 2020, TKS was recognized by The World Economic Forum as a "School of the Future" and was also featured in Forbes, BBC, Fast Company etc..
We currently have 2,500+ students and alumni from over 200 cities globally. Our alumni have started venture-backed companies, performed cutting-edge research, presented at the world's largest conferences, and are creating solutions to tackle important problems like maternal mortality, disease, and energy.
You’re not marketing the next fad, eCommerce solution, or marketplace app - you'll be helping future leaders access world-class coaching and mentoring, impacting the course of young people's lives, and making positive change.
With your help, we will be able to change the education industry for the better by creating global awareness about TKS' mission, vision, and program delivery model — helping us communicate our 'school of the future' model to new global audiences and convert prospects into students. Ultimately the goal here is to popularize that new Education models exists and work.
You’ll be getting in on the ground-level. With big expansion plans for 2024 and beyond, we're gaining momentum. Despite our huge impact to-date, we're still a lean team - join us as we begin to scale on our journey to become the leader in education. Your role will grow as TKS expands.
You'll partner with our Head of Growth, Elisha Kramer, our Digital Marketing Manager, Megan Martin, and our Growth Specialist, Katrina Ali, on our growth strategy for 2024 and beyond.

Have a background in a marketing related field. Experience with performance marketing and/or growth marketing preferred. ROAS and CAC are part of your regular vocabulary — better yet, your performance has been evaluated on these KPIs in past roles.
You follow marketing trends and regularly get jazzed about new ideas and techniques. You regularly conduct small experiments to validate ideas, you see this as one of your favourite parts of the job.
You have a deep passion for changing the education system: You have your own reasons for creating this change, and the ambition to want to scale it.

You seek approval or prefer consensus over healthy friction
