About The Position

Leading Educators' impact reaches far beyond the work we do in classrooms—it depends on our ability to tell compelling stories, build visibility, and connect with the right audiences at the right time. As the Associate Director of Marketing Operations, you'll be the driving force behind multi-channel campaigns, events, and earned media efforts that raise awareness of LE's services and impact in support of organizational growth goals.

You'll lead event production and promotion, manage media relations efforts, develop campaign strategy across email and digital channels, and serve as a steward of the Leading Educators brand—ensuring messaging and visual identity remain consistent and compelling across all touchpoints.
You'll work cross-functionally with Program, Innovation, Partnerships, and Development teams, moving opportunities from idea to measurable outcome with strong judgment, creativity, and collaborative spirit. You'll manage multiple initiatives concurrently, thrive in a fast-paced environment, and demonstrate exceptional storytelling acumen—both written and visual—that influences stakeholders and advances LE's reputation as a trusted partner in education systems change.
