Growth Lead – NYC
Don't want to work for a company that just makes rich people richer? Care about mental health? You're not alone. We're mission driven because we don't really see how you couldn't be by this point.
You
For the first time since our founding we're expanding Coursicle beyond course registration. With the addition of tasks, calendar, and new features you'll help us promote, we're hoping students will begin to rely on Coursicle every day of the semester.
The main goal of this role is simple: bring in as many new users to Coursicle as possible. Since our growth to this point has largely been from word of mouth, active marketing is unexplored territory for us. This means you'll be responsible for generating user acquisition ideas, testing them, and determining which ones are the most effective.
While the core of this role is user growth, we expect its responsibilities to grow as we do. In the future you may be asked to help with anything from establishing business partnerships to conducting user interviews to inform product direction.

Missions:
- Mental health: we've seen first-hand the stigma that's held toward mental illness (read our CEO's essay about his struggle with anxiety and depression). It's all too common to feel isolated and overwhelmed in college. Coursicle began as a way to reduce the anxiety of course registration and we're continuing that effort by helping students feel more in control of their academic lives.
- Wealth disparity: we don't want to make the rich richer, so we don't take investment and we don't optimize for profit. We want to show the world that money can't continue to be the end goal anymore and you can be successful without trying to squeeze every cent out of people.
Footnotes:
- Every employee at Coursicle makes the same base salary of $60,000 and company profits are split equally as bonuses. In the past two years, these bonuses have been $20,000.
