Working at OnYourMark

Join a national team that is dedicated to building OnYourMark in service of our tutors and young readers across the country!

All OnYourMark teammates are fully remote and enjoy the flexibilities that come with that. We work hard and thrive in a supportive environment that is really “All In” as required in a startup while centering each teammate as a whole person with real life needs and responsibilities (like picking kids up from school, going to the doctor, working out etc.) beyond our professional commitments. 

One of our key mantras is “find a need and fill the need.” In practice this means often stepping outside the lanes of our job descriptions to lend a hand to whatever task is most pressing across the organization, from helping to interview tutor candidates, to getting students set up with the technology needed to be able to connect for sessions. There really is no job too big or too small for any teammate. 

Problem-solvers and self-starters thrive at OnYourMark. There are natural ebbs and flows to the work that often mean long hours at the start of sessions and then role specific flexibilities that center around a more traditional work week. We also work across the country so early mornings or later evenings are possible depending on a teammate’s timezone and where the schools we serve are located. 

Expected compensation $55,000-$65,000k, commensurate with experience.
