BACKGROUND ON EARLYBIRD EDUCATION

EarlyBird Education provides a direct-to-consumer end-to-end reading solution for young children struggling with early reading, including children with dyslexia. The EarlyBird dyslexia and reading screener, used in schools across 25 states, identifies whether a child is at risk for dyslexia and other reading difficulties — even before they formally learn to read — and in the window when intervention is most effective. And EarlyBird’s game-based skill-building intervention program teaches the critical pre-reading skills essential for learning to read. EarlyBird offers families the benefits of a comprehensive tutoring program, in a convenient, engaging tablet-based game for children. Our near term goals are to ensure families can find, understand, and adopt our products with ease.

POSITION SUMMARY

The EarlyBird Families Team is looking for an experienced content creator and video storyteller to help us create cornerstone, evergreen content on topics that answer our potential customers’ most critical questions. Ultimately, this will help us grow our organic search presence and provide immediate value for our customers.

The role is remote, with flexible hours, for a contract worker, and will amount to ~ 10 hours per week. Compensation will be market rate ($30-$40/hour, experience dependent).

WHO YOU ARE

• Storyteller: You have the ability to take complex topics and make them clear and enticing for the average reader, while finding the angle of the story that captivates. 
• SEO-experienced: Equally as important is a deep understanding of search engine optimization and building a domain authority through video. You know how to build video content in ways that benefit search algorithms so that families and parents can find EarlyBird when they need us.
• Video content creator: You know how to produce long form and short form videos with content that hits home with a mom audience and sparks action. You know how to get the raw video footage you need and make it digestible for a variety of platforms. You probably even produce content yourself. This content is used on landing pages, social media posts, and other places 
• Direct to consumer experience: You know how to win over a consumer audience, (parents and caregivers in our case).
• Flexible: You are used to working with startups and new concepts and ideas, where there is no trodden path.
• Lived Experience: bonus points if you are a parent or caregiver who knows what it is like to care deeply for the well being of a child and to navigate complex pathways to get what they need.
• Organized: You will need to manage the brainstorming, creation, and revision process of each content piece to ensure subject matter expert (SME) approval, message alignment, and any fact checking required.
