ABOUT BEZOS ACADEMY

Our mission is to nurture the potential in every child to become a creative leader, original thinker, and lifelong learner by inventing the solutions needed to scale early childhood education. We are a unique organization that realizes our mission in two distinct ways. First, we operate a multi-state network of schools in under-resourced communities, offering quality Montessori preschools at no cost to families. Second, we invest in creating tools, products, technology, and other solutions designed to reach children well beyond the walls of our schools. We aspire to have a profound, large-scale impact on children ages zero to five.DESCRIPTION

This role supports the launch and growth of a new, mission-driven product focused on families with young children. You’ll contribute to building the brand from the ground up by designing digital and physical touchpoints that create a clear, consistent, and emotionally resonant story as the product comes to life.
