Our Story

Íæż½ã½ã's founders had a simple idea: to create a better alternative to impersonal learning centers.

With that goal in mind, co-founders Richard Enos and Greg Zumas began Íæż½ã½ã (StudySmart, Inc.) in Boston in the late 1990's. They focused on the needs of families who wanted a higher level of customer service and convenience, and on students who would benefit from individualized, one-to-one instruction.

Early on, the company invested heavily in curriculum development and training standards, so that its tutors could deliver consistent and reliable academic and test prep results to families. As the company grew, it added additional services and programs, ranging from individualized needs assessments to innovative online homework tools.

After establishing a strong base in Boston, the founders repeated their model for success in Washington DC, New York, Chicago, and Philadelphia. Continued positive feedback and results led to continued expansion across the US.  Today Íæż½ã½ã offers one-to-one, private in-home tutoring in 23 metropolitan areas across the country and has established itself as a national leader in its field.

Based on its success with face-to-face tutoring, in late 2011 the company developed an innovative model for delivering one-to-one online tutoring. After years of exploration and thinking, the company launched a pilot to study the efficacy of its programs when delivered online. The pilot entailed giving away almost $250,000 worth of free tutoring to study student outcomes from online tutoring, and at its conclusion the founders were thrilled to find that the online students earned nearly identical score improvements to their face-to-face counterparts. As a result of this successful pilot, the company launched online tutoring to students across the country in 2012, and today serves thousands of students nationally and internationally via its online tutoring programs.

Throughout the years, Íæż½ã½ã has earned numerous awards for its exceptional growth (Inc 500/5000 nine times, BBJ Pacesetters three times) and its progressive work-environment (50 Most Engaged Workplaces two times). We're a values-driven workplace that delivers exceptional educational programs to our students, and in our almost 20-years of operations we've helped over 50,000 students find confidence and success on the path to college.

Why This Role is a Game-Changer

This is not your average marketing role — it’s a career-defining opportunity.

You'll own and optimize the single most important marketing channel at Íæż½ã½ã — direct mail — driving a $1MM+ budget to maximize impact and ROI. Direct mail is the lifeblood of our marketing efforts, and we need someone who can take it to the next level.

At the same time, you’ll work alongside some of the best marketing minds in the industry, gaining exposure to email, digital, and content marketing. This role is a launchpad for growth — previous team members have gone on to lead the entire marketing function at Íæż½ã½ã.

If you're a smart, data-driven marketer looking to own high-impact projects, collaborate with top talent, and fast-track your marketing career by growing your skill set and acumen, this is the place to do it.

This is a remote position, with a preference for candidates in the Eastern time zone (especially MA-based applicants).

What You’ll Do
  • Own & optimize our direct mail campaigns — managing a $1MM+ budget to drive measurable ROI.
  • Analyze campaign performance to refine segmentation, targeting, and messaging.
  • Collaborate with senior leadership to develop high-level marketing strategies.
  • Manage vendor relationships to ensure seamless execution.
  • Work alongside top industry talent across email, digital, and content marketing, gaining exposure to multiple channels.
  • Develop new marketing skills and expand your expertise over time.
What We’re Looking For
  • A smart, motivated professional with 2-5 years of marketing experience.
  • A data-driven thinker who thrives on A/B testing and optimization.
  • Someone with strong project management skills and a sharp attention to detail.
  • Experience with Excel and an eagerness to master new tools.
  • A team player who thrives in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.
  • A passion for education and helping students succeed.
What You’ll Gain
  • A fast-track marketing career with exposure to multiple channels.
  • Hands-on ownership of a high-impact marketing channel.
  • Mentorship from senior leadership and collaboration with top marketing professionals.
  • A competitive salary, starting range from $55K - $75K depending on experience and location.
  • Comprehensive Benefits package, including:
    • 3 weeks paid time off + 9 holidays (& your birthday off!)
    • Health, vision, and dental coverage options
    • Annual paid volunteer day to give back
    • Significant tutoring discounts for family members
    • Fully remote role with a collaborative, supportive team
    • Access to our Employee Engagement & Rewards Platform, offering:
      • Gift cards to top retailers
      • Charitable donation opportunities
      • Extra vacation days
      • Personalized gifts
 Ready to take ownership of a mission-critical marketing channel and accelerate your career? and be part of a team that’s shaping the future of education!
