Are you passionate about travel and shaping global perspectives through education? Join GEEO and play a pivotal role in empowering educators to expand their cultural consciousness through international travel experiences.
Founded in 2007, GEEO is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that sends teachers abroad on adventurous travel programs. GEEO then helps these teachers share their experiences with their students. GEEO’s programs are designed and discounted to be interesting and affordable for teachers. The trips are open to pre-K-12 and university educators, administrators, retired educators, as well as educators’ guests.
In this fully remote role position as the Marketing Manager, you will lead all aspects of GEEO’s marketing, public relations, and outreach efforts. This role requires creativity, strategic thinking, and a strong work ethic. You will exercise autonomy and discretion and will be entrusted as a self-starter to leverage your skill set to enhance GEEO’s impact and outreach. You will report directly to the Executive Director and be expected to take an annual international trip.
At GEEO, serving teachers is at the core of our work. Customer service is the foundation. Our small team (four employees) shares the traveler support workload while carrying out primary job functions. This structure provides each employee with variety in their day-to-day tasks and allows each of us to remain close to our participants and their perspectives. In the Marketing Manager role, a successful candidate should expect to spend roughly 15% of their time over the course of a calendar year in direct traveler support efforts.
This is a fully remote, full-time, exempt (salaried) position with a semi-flexible schedule. The standard work hours are Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time, but occasional adjustments may be needed to accommodate business needs.
GEEO has operated on a fully remote basis since its inception in 2007, long before the pandemic-induced surge in remote work. We maintain high standards for our remote work while also valuing the flexibility and freedom that comes with working from home. As our team grows, we intend to continue building a respectful, fun, and stimulating work environment. International travel experiences shape our team dynamic, and we require that all staff have experience traveling and/or living abroad. A common bond within our company culture is that we have all experienced the challenges and joys of traveling internationally. These experiences help us empathize with our teachers/clients and better understand their needs in the travel-planning process.
Our team consists of four full-time staff members, our Board of Directors, and our partner tour operator associates. Learn more about the GEEO team here. GEEO is an equal opportunity employer and we celebrate diversity and are committed to an inclusive work environment.
