About the job

What is 01Founders?

01Founders is a new type of software engineering school, training students from zero digital skills to high-end full stack engineers in two years, through an innovative, peer-to-peer education model.

The model is free for students, teacher-less, gamified and project-based, based on the established pedagogy of 01Edu (the team behind Ecole42 and numerous successful coding schools worldwide), and supported by the brand and ecosystem of Founders Forum, Europe’s premier entrepreneur community and a family of businesses that exist to support entrepreneurs at every stage of their journey.

At 01Founders, we have an opportunity to remove financial barriers to high-quality digital education, looking to enable people all over the UK, from all walks of life, to learn how to code.

The school is entirely free for students and every student is guaranteed a job through a corporate partnership model. We will target segments of the population who wouldn’t ordinarily consider software engineering as a viable career path - given the high barriers to entry of traditional tertiary education.

Having secured Seed funding and initial corporate partners, we are currently building a team to launch the London school in Autumn 2021, with plans to expand nationwide shortly afterwards.

We are looking for an entrepreneurial and collaborative Student Engagement Associate to join the founding team of this business, find and support a community of learners, and help us upend the current software engineering education space.

• Be our website guardian - informing and optimising our website copy, launching new pages, with a keen eye for detail.
• Handle inbound enquiries from prospective candidates, maintaining an up to date candidate CRM database.
• Manage the school’s official updates, partner and candidate communications.

Requirements

• You are a self-starter who can learn quickly and master new skills
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills with a love of grammar
• Strong entrepreneurial spirit with an appetite for work - we are a small team so we’re looking for enthusiasm and a can-do attitude

• Knowledge of social media and analytics software (e.g. Hootsuite and Google Analytics)

- Creating and managing social media accounts across a few strategic channels

- Creating short form and long form content

- Engaging with the target audience on channels which is mostly investors (institutional - that means VC funds and retail (peeps like you and us), startup enthusiasts and technologists (mostly developers and researchers)

- Attending events (once it's safe to do so in London and if elsewhere, we would cover the cost of any transport or stay involved)

- Participating in strategy sessions and campaign planning

- Running marketing campaigns and managing leads and data (we will teach you how to run campaigns on social media platforms, use CRM systems and the latest in marketing stacks and 3rd party technology)

To smash this role you should:

- Be self motivated and keen on marketing, content and social media

- Love the world of startups and scaleups as well as technology

- Be a great writer (don’t worry we won’t hold using Grammarly to improve it even further against you. We all do the same! Why miss a comma if you don’t need to?)

- Be a bit of a social media maven; while we don’t expect you to be an influencer by the time you are done with this role you most likely will be a bit of a nano-influencer in the space

- Be organised and detail oriented

- Be an excellent written and verbal communicator (one that ideally does not use cat filters during zoom calls, animated backgrounds however are all the rage on zoom)

- Be a quick study on new platforms (appreciate Clubhouse and emerging social media as an influence on marketing)

- Be able to work with third parties (e.g. PR agencies); all this requires is a steady head on your shoulders, learning how to understand what is best for our business and our clients and how to give them some focus in more mainstream media (think about a journalist covering a story about something you are involved with)

- Be able to work with a broader distributed team across the world ranging from Artists in Manilla to game designers and builders in Chicago, UI/UX peeps in Karachi and Delhi and Animators in Budapest (we were not kidding when we said we were global!)
