Job description
At Skillshare, teachers are the heart of our platform. As our Community & Creator Acquisition Manager, you’ll be responsible for growing, activating, and supporting the global network of creators who teach on Skillshare. You’ll ensure teachers are set up for long-term success from first application through ongoing community engagement and program participation.
This role sits at the intersection of operations, creator acquisition, and community building. You’ll manage day to day execution of our teacher programs, drive outreach and communications for off-platform teacher recruitment initiatives, and build meaningful connections with creators on the platform. You’ll also partner closely with internal teams across content, marketing, and partnerships to surface standout teachers and amplify their impact. This role is ideal for someone who strives for operational excellence while also balancing nuanced creator support and is excited about the future of both the creator economy in general and what that looks like on Skillshare.
What you’ll do
Teacher Programs & Community Engagement:
Operate and evolve teacher programs, including running publishing challenges, webinars, and program perks.
Manage program communications (Slack, newsletters, email) and ensure consistent, high-quality engagement.
Provide scalable coaching resources (guides, group sessions, webinars) to help teachers succeed.
Build and maintain 1:1 relationships with teachers across programs.
Teacher Acquisition & Onboarding:
Manage the end-to-end teacher application pipeline: review applications, maintain criteria, and refine workflows.
Identify and flag standout creators for internal teams (e.g., partnerships, content).
Lead off-platform teacher recruitment efforts, including outreach campaigns and targeted communications. Ensure a smooth onboarding and off-boarding experience for all new teachers.
Manage and support the growth of our teacher community. This includes things like:
Cross-Functional Collaboration:
Work closely with the Creator & Community Lead to execute strategy and share insights.
Partner with marketing and content teams to coordinate teacher-facing campaigns and spotlight creators.
Track and report on acquisition, program participation, and community health metrics.
Why We’re Excited About You
- You have 2-4 years experience working with creators who are monetizing their content;
- You’re familiar with different creator platforms and different ways creators are navigating their businesses across the creator economy;
- You can jump flexibly into a wide range of tasks with ease, confidence and proactivity;
- You have excellent communication and operational skills. You’re able to own day-to-day program operations and streamline processes with acute attention to detail, while keeping an eye on the bigger picture;
- You’ve got a fail fast attitude and have no problem trying something and iterating as you go;
- You’re keen to work with a small team of deeply passionate people!
