Job Description

About the Role

At Ello, our mission is simple and urgent: to maximize the potential of every child, everywhere. We're building the world's first AI teacher to close that gap: one that listens, speaks, adapts, and inspires, just like the best human educators. Our first product, Read with Ello, is already helping tens of thousands of kids each week learn to read. It listens as they read aloud, offers support when they stumble, and generates magical, personalized stories using generative AI. We are scaling this success into a complete AI teacher for all children, creating a real-time learning platform that combines language, speech, and memory to power personalized, interactive education for kids worldwide. We move fast, ship weekly, test directly with kids and families, and push the boundaries of AI in education. With support from top investors and as a public benefit corporation, we aim to revolutionize global education and democratize learning.

Key Responsibilities

Experiment across platforms (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, X, LinkedIn) to identify where high-impact narratives can be delivered.
Partner with growth, design, and product teams to translate Ello's mission and breakthroughs into compelling, highly shareable content.
Lead end-to-end content production including concepting, scripting, shooting, editing, publishing, and measuring performance.
Create original content and transform raw assets from partnerships and other parts of the business into powerful posts.
Build a deep understanding of our community—parents, kids, and educators—and create authentic content that connects with them.
Analyze performance metrics to optimize content, focusing on depth and value over vanity metrics.
Capitalize on upcoming partnerships with celebrities and pro athletes to deliver engaging content.
Optionally get involved in other high-impact areas such as lifecycle marketing, email campaigns, landing pages, onboarding flows, and user experiments based on interests and strengths.

Requirements

2-5+ years of experience creating high-impact social content, ideally for a consumer brand, publisher, or creator.
A portfolio demonstrating exceptional taste, creativity, and originality.
Experience with short-form video, visual storytelling, and multi-platform strategies.
Proven ability to take a story from idea through script, shoot, edit, and publish end-to-end.
Strong copywriting skills with a natural feel for tone and voice.
Familiarity with performance metrics, with a focus on quality over quantity.
Creative storyteller with a sharp editorial sense and ability to turn complex ideas into emotional narratives.
Strategic and original thinker who creates unique cultural moments rather than just chasing trends.
Hands-on maker comfortable with filming, editing, and producing content.
Data-informed but instinct-driven, with a scrappy, experimental approach.
Passionate about learning, education, reading, and helping kids thrive.

Nice to Have

Experience working with consumer brands, publishers, or creators.
Ability to create engaging content for multiple platforms and formats.
Strong visual storytelling skills.
