Ello is a AI-powered reading and math app. Built for ages 4–9, and shaped entirely around your child. Backed by Y Combinator.
About the role
This is a role for someone who wants to build things and put them out in the world, not just execute someone else’s plan. You’ll originate ideas, shape the strongest ones into something real, and see them through to a live test with customers. Few early-stage marketing roles offer this much ownership across the full arc.
What they're looking for
- 4–7 years of full-time experience across a marketing, creative, agency, or founder/operator background — or a non-marketing path with clear evidence of trajectory
- Evidence you've taken something from idea to shipped reality - ideally something you started yourself and drove to a real outcome, not just contributed to
- Real, demonstrable taste for short-form social: you can point to a specific hook, ad, or piece of content and explain why it works (or doesn't)
- Structured communicator: ask “how would you approach X” and you give a clear, honest framework, including what you'd want to know before deciding
- Comfortable sourcing, briefing, and managing external contractors, freelancers, or agencies
- Actively use AI tools in your own creative or research workflow today - not occasionally - and can point to something specific it's changed about how you work
More about this role
Our mission at Ello is simple and urgent: maximize the potential of every child, everywhere.
The best human educators listen, adapt, and inspire. Most kids never get one. We're building the world's first AI teacher to close that gap.
Our first product, Read with Ello, is already helping tens of thousands of kids each week learn to read. It listens as they read aloud, offers support when they stumble, and generates magical, personalized stories. It works, and kids love it.
Now, we're scaling that success into something even bigger: a complete AI teacher that can help children learn far beyond reading. Our new app combines language, speech, and memory to deliver interactive learning for kids worldwide; check it out here . We're moving fast: we ship weekly, test directly with kids, and push the boundaries of what's possible with AI in education.
With the resources of the world's top investors and the heart of a public benefit corporation, we're here to revolutionize how children learn globally. Featured on TIME's Best Inventions and Fortune's Change the World, Ello is a small, mission-driven team taking on one of the most important challenges of our time: to democratize...
