ApplyBoard simplifies the study abroad search, application, and acceptance process by connecting international students, recruitment partners, and educational institutions on one intuitive and personalized platform. ApplyBoard is a mission-driven, hyper-growth organization. It has been attracting dedicated individuals for more than eight years who are inspired every day to break down barriers to international education and take their careers to new heights at a company that will invest in their career growth. Our six core values are our compass in our mission to Educate the World and the foundation of our unique company culture. As an organization built on a foundation of diversity, it’s important that our team members are representative of the students from more than 150 countries that we support.

The opportunity:

We’re looking for a highly versatile, hands-on marketer who thrives at the intersection of strategy and execution. This is a true individual contributor role for someone who can own top- and middle-of-funnel performance end-to-end: planning, building, launching, testing, and optimizing.

You’re scrappy, nimble, and comfortable wearing multiple hats. You know how to translate business goals into experiments, campaigns, and systems that actually move numbers. This role goes well beyond “traditional marketing”: you’ll develop a deep understanding of our brand, solutions, customers, and markets, then use that insight to design, execute, and refine growth initiatives across channels. You’ll test quickly, learn constantly, and iterate relentlessly.

This is a fast-paced, results-oriented role for someone who enjoys variety and accountability. One week you may be scaling SEO through high-intent content and AEO/GEO experimentation; the next you’re building and optimizing global landing pages, fine-tuning email deliverability and CTR, or running SEM and social tests to improve funnel efficiency. Success in this role comes from curiosity, adaptability, and an obsession with continuous improvement, not from staying in a single lane.

You’ll join a strong, collaborative marketing team at a mission-driven company focused on unlocking the potential of every aspiring mind. Expect to use both creativity and rigor every day, and to see your work directly shape growth, learning, and impact.

What you’ll do every day:

• Drive acquisition and growth: Develop and execute strategies to acquire and engage customers.

• Launch campaigns and experiments: Design and run go-to-market initiatives, experiments, and campaigns that test, learn, and scale what works.

• Enable adoption and onboarding: Build scalable onboarding frameworks and playbooks to activate and retain both customers.

• Cross-functional collaboration: Partner with sales, product, and marketing to align growth strategies with company goals.

• Optimize with data: Track and analyze key metrics (CAC, activation, retention, LTV, funnel performance), adjusting strategies to maximize ROI.

• Market intelligence: Stay on top of industry trends, competitive activity, and regulatory changes to identify and capitalize on growth opportunities.

• Champion the brand: Ensure all campaigns and communications reflect ApplyBoard’s value and resonate with diverse global audiences.

What you bring to the table:

• 5+ years of experience in growth, acquisition, or marketing roles (B2B SaaS, marketplaces, or ed-tech experience preferred).

• Proven ability to move seamlessly from strategy to execution.

• Strong analytical skills with experience in funnels, A/B testing, and performance dashboards.

• Excellent communication and storytelling skills across multiple channels.

• Experience with marketing and automation tools (e.g., HubSpot, Canva, analytics platforms).

• A scrappy, problem-solving mindset, comfortable wearing many hats and iterating quickly.

• Curiosity, energy, and the ability to thrive in a startup or growth-stage environment.

The starting salary range for this role begins at 66,744.00 - 80,958.00 CAD. The compensation offered to the successful candidate will be determined through a wide variety of factors including but not limited to their relevant skills, knowledge, experience, education, and internal equity. More information about our total rewards package will be available during the hiring process.
