About The Position

We're looking for a strategic, creative builder who can establish Cambly's voice in organic channels from the ground up—someone who sees the white space and knows how to own it. If you thrive on 0-to-1 challenges, love the intersection of content and growth, and want your work to directly impact millions of learners worldwide, this role is for you. You'll own our SEO/AEO strategy and community presence, establishing sustainable channels that reduce our reliance on paid advertising while building trust and authority with professional English learners in Japan, Korea, and globally. This is a high-impact role where you'll create new programs, coordinate cross-functional teams, and directly influence Cambly's long-term growth trajectory.
