The American Montessori Society is seeking a Marketing Coordinator with a passion for AMS’s mission to improve global education. Please note that a cover letter is required, and applications without a cover letter will not be considered.

The Marketing Coordinator will support the mission of AMS by assisting with the planning and executing of targeted marketing communications to current and prospective AMS members via all strategically relevant channels: email, social media, web, direct mail, and others. The Marketing Coordinator will directly support the needs of the Marketing department through copywriting, email marketing, project management, creation and scheduling of social media posts, image editing and routine graphic design, and the formatting and creation of web pages.

The ideal candidate will demonstrate strong writing and communication skills, tech savviness and a flair for learning new technologies quickly, top-notch decision making and independent thinking, and, most of all, a passion for improving education.

Responsibilities: 

• Work closely with the marketing team to coordinate, deploy, and track email and social media marketing, ensuring timely execution of campaigns.

• Editing and writing of content for AMS web pages, email marketing, and social media.

• Creation and editing of web pages using a content management system. (Training will be provided, but working knowledge of a content management system such as WordPress is helpful.)

• Assist in the ongoing, sitewide web content review and updates to maintain a timely and relevant website.

• Support marketing campaign execution for AMS’s annual conference, The Montessori Event, as well as additional online and in-person events.

• Develop and implement written and visual content for social media aligned with the organization’s goals and mission.

• Report generation through digital marketing tools such as Meta Business Suite, Hubspot, and Google Analytics.

• 2+ years of work experience or relevant internships.
• Demonstrably exemplary writing and editing skills. The buck stops with you when clicking “schedule post”, so the text must be perfect.
• Comfortable with social, email, and web marketing tools, such as Meta Business Suite, Hubspot, and Wordpress, and willing to learn new tools.
• A strong eye for visual design and basic design and image editing skills (e.g., Adobe InDesign or Canva).
• Ability to track and interpret marketing metrics to improve performance.
• Excellent organizational skills; ability to manage multiple projects.
• Ability to work effectively both independently and as a member of a team, and comfortable communicating via Teams/Zoom.
• An interest in or general knowledge of Montessori is a plus.
