You’ll work closely with internal teams and external partners from top tech companies to drive strategic collaborations, strengthen brand presence, and craft scalable engagement models - both online and offline.
This role blends creativity with analytical thinking - ideal for someone who enjoys building growth systems, not just managing activities.

- Partnerships & Collaborations: Identify, pitch, and manage collaborations with universities, tech organizations, and industry partners that accelerate brand growth.
- Growth Strategies: Design and run marketing funnels that convert community engagement into measurable leads and sales outcomes.
- Data & Insights: Use engagement data to inform strategy, improve conversion rates, and identify new growth opportunities.
What We’re Looking For

- 1+ years of experience in sales, program, or marketing functions.
- Exceptional written and verbal communication skills in English.
- Self-driven with strong ownership, curiosity, and learning agility.
Preferred Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in Marketing, Business, or related fields (MBA from a top-tier institute is a plus).
- Experience in community-led growth, user acquisition, or partnerships in an edtech or startup environment.
- Huge plus if you’ve previously built or scaled a tech or student community.
Why Join Us 📈
You’ll be joining as the third member of the Growth Team, with high ownership and creative freedom to shape how we grow AlgoUniversity’s community of 500,000+ engineers.
If you’ve ever wanted to build a scalable, impact-driven growth engine from scratch - this is it.
