About us
Achievable is a small venture-backed education technology startup. Our mission is to help our customers unlock opportunities in their lives by preparing them for the high-stakes exams that stand between them and their dream college, graduate program, career, or certification.
- We are laid back and easy going, but work hard. We're a small team of five with tons to do and big improvements to be made. This role will require 40 hours a week of dedicated work.
- We believe that done is better than perfect. As a startup, speed is our primary advantage over entrenched incumbents. That said, it’s important to maintain a high level of professionalism in all of our work, especially customer-facing materials. Striking this balance is key to success in this role, and we will teach you how to do that.
- We respect everyone’s opinion regardless of seniority or background - the only goal is to come away with the best possible ideas that will make the business successful.
- We are respectful of everyone else’s time in the organization. Before asking others for help with something minor, we use Google to try to figure it out.
- We are and will always be a fully remote company. Outside of making key meetings, which are almost always in US timezones, we do not care when you work as long as you complete your commitments on time and do so in a high-quality, professional way.
- No work is sacred or too good to change. If you see something and want to improve it, we encourage you to do so.
- We respect commitments and communicate proactively if problems arise or deadlines will slip. If we are overloaded or fall behind, we speak up proactively and with as much notice as possible.
- We primarily use email or Slack, as communication with those platforms is asynchronous and fast. That said, we’re happy to hop on voice chat or video chat / screen share if the project or conversation requires it.
- We believe transparency leads to the best outcomes, so we share all relevant information with all parties. To this end, we use online tools with shared access whenever possible, such as Google Docs.
- We offer substantial paid time off and respect commitments outside of work. We want our employees to live fulfilling lives and respect work-life balance. We do not expect you to be responsive outside of work hours unless it is for a special project or deadline, which is rare.
Benefits Package
- A competitive salary with room to grow:
- Range: $50,000 - $60,000
- For US employees: Comprehensive healthcare reimbursement, inclusive of spouse/family plans.
- QSEHRA reimbursement up to $529.16 (individual) or $1,066.66 (family) per month
- Considerable paid time off coupled with recognized company holidays:
- About six weeks (28 days) of paid time off per year
- The liberty to work fully remotely forever, with flexible hours so long as you can make key meetings and collaborate effectively.
- Opportunities for professional growth, including a $1,000/year educational allowance.
Achievable invites you to bring your unique expertise to our team. If the Marketing Coordinator role is a good fit, we look forward to hearing from you.
