- This role offers the right candidate the chance to expand our Product Marketing function and make a significant impact on the strategic direction of a growing, mission-driven company
- Safeguarding is everyone’s business at MyTutor – we are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and adults, and we expect all directors, staff and tutors to share this commitment. This post is subject to a basic DBS check as this role will have access to children’s data

- Serve as a connector among Product, Marketing and Sales to ensure each team is engaged and ready to translate product vision into commercial reality
- Distil product feedback and requests from commercial teams for product teams to inform their work
- Create external communications to schools, families and learners regarding new products and features. Translate product benefits into exciting updates for platform users
- Perfect pitch decks for Sales to use with schools and Marketing to use with channel partners
- Understand the unique pain points of school leaders and adjust core messaging to address their concerns
- Partner with Copywriting and Campaign Marketing to feed messaging framework language into online properties and offline materials
- Own customer-facing collateral, such as product newsletters and demo videos, that demonstrates our products’ innovation and ease of use
- Own competitive intelligence research to inform pricing and product roadmaps
- Leverage research from Product and Customer Experience Teams to ensure that messaging about our products resonates with our customers
Application process

- 1st Interview Stage: A competency & skills based interview with the Hiring Managers
- 2nd Interview: Case Study/Task Presentation with our Chief Revenue Officer and two members of the hiring team
- Final Interview: ‘Culture & Values Add: A discussion with a MyTutor employee outside of the hiring team where they will ask you a series of questions based on our Behaviours & Values.
- During this round, we’re not looking for a ‘culture fit’ but focused on where you can add to our existing values and what your own values might add to the culture and work of the team
Salary benchmarks
Our take
Private tutoring is a huge market traditionally dominated by expensive agencies (who charge extortionate hourly rates and take a big cut from the tutors that work for them by acting as the middleman).
The average starting price for tutoring can hit £50 an hour in London, MyTutor’s prices start from a much more affordable £18 an hour (the company can charge this low by cutting out the middle man).
MyTutor has built technologies to make online tutoring sessions smooth (e.g. it built an online whiteboard and makes it easy to share documents and upload past papers). All sessions are recorded so you can also play them back when they've finished. Along with academic support, the company prides itself in building confidence and providing mentorship.
The online EdTech industry has really blown up over the past few years and it highlighted the need for an online service that helps fill the gaps in today’s education system by delivering personalised support tailored to the individual. As MyTutor is conducted purely online, it can now really focus on providing quality education to a much wider audience.
