Who We Are

OnYourMark Education is a high dosage virtual tutoring service providing individualized early literacy virtual foundational skills instruction to elementary students grounded in the science of reading. We partner with schools as a supplement to the literacy instruction already in place to ensure students get the foundational reading skills they need to excel!

Why We Exist

OnYourMark exists to ensure that the students we serve have a strong foundation to become thriving readers. We also believe that spreading an understanding of the science of how children learn to read can be transformative for tutors, teachers, children, and families. Getting foundational literacy skills right early will support children to read on grade level and diminish the need for schools to remediate at their current levels.

Joining the OnYourMark team is right for you if you are invested in having an impact on the lives of young people, are committed to learning, and are inspired to be a part of eradicating educational inequities. Being a part of a founding team requires thriving in ambiguity and fully embracing OnYourMark’s start‑up mantra, “find a need and fill the need.”

Evolving Responsibilities

As Senior Manager of Operations & Finance at OnYourMark, your responsibilities will evolve over time as we continue to grow as an organization. To start, you can expect approximately 50-70% of this role to be finance work and the remainder to be other projects and general operational tasks. Some potential areas of focus include :

Working at OnYourMark

Join a national team that is dedicated to building OnYourMark in service of our tutors and young readers across the country!

All OnYourMark teammates are fully remote and enjoy the flexibilities that come with that. We work hard and thrive in a supportive environment that is really “All In” as required in a startup while centering each teammate as a whole person with real life needs and responsibilities (like picking kids up from school, going to the doctor, working out etc.) beyond our professional commitments.

One of our key mantras is “find a need and fill the need.” In practice this means often stepping outside the lanes of our job descriptions to lend a hand to whatever task is most pressing across the organization, from helping to interview tutor candidates, to getting students set up with the technology needed to be able to connect for sessions. There really is no job too big or too small for any teammate.

Problem‑solvers and self‑starters thrive at OnYourMark. There are natural ebbs and flows to the work that often mean long hours at the start of sessions and then role‑specific flexibilities that center around a more traditional work week. We also work across the country so early mornings or later evenings are possible depending on a teammate’s timezone and where the schools we serve are located.

Expected compensation $70,000-85,000k, commensurate with experience.
