  • Community & Events Manager

    Primer 4.6company rating

    Event manager job in Birmingham, AL

    Fixing our K-12 education system is a civilizationally-important problem. We believe that all of our problems - including the ones that dominate the headlines - are downstream of education. We have a simple thesis on how to solve it: empower 1,000's of educators to launch microschools in their communities. We believe the historical tradeoff between price (tuition) and quality is a false dichotomy. PrimerOS automates and eliminates much of the costs of traditional schools. Microschools have a structural advantage - asset-light real estate - which means much lower capex and opex. You put it together, and you get something that's never existed before: a world-class education that's accessible to normal American families and can rapidly scale. What You'll Do We're looking for an energetic, relationship-driven professional to grow enrollment for Primer's Alabama campuses. You'll be the face of Primer in the community, responsible for building strong local networks, executing on-the-ground marketing initiatives, and presenting Primer's vision directly to families. This is not a desk job. You'll spend much of your time out in the field - meeting partners, speaking with parents, hosting open houses, and connecting with community leaders. If you love building new relationships, thrive in fast-moving environments, and know how to inspire families through compelling storytelling, you'll thrive here. What we're trying to do is extremely hard - there's a reason it hasn't been done before. There's a good chance this role will be the hardest work of your life. If you find that slightly-daunting-but-exciting, this might be the role for you. Responsibilities Develop and own local channels that generate new family leads, including sponsorships, partnerships, and community engagement Build relationships with local leaders, organizations, and influencers who can help grow Primer's reach and reputation Plan and execute campus open houses, family info sessions, and tours that convert interest into enrollment Serve as a trusted, knowledgeable voice when presenting Primer's model to prospective families Collaborate with central marketing and admissions to align local efforts with broader campaigns Experiment with new grassroots growth strategies; document and scale the ones that work Manage ongoing relationships with enrolled families to strengthen community and referrals Travel frequently (20-40%) across campuses within the state Preferred Qualifications Strong track record in partnerships, admissions, marketing, or community outreach - ideally in K-12 education or fast-growth startups Exceptional communicator who can connect with diverse audiences, from families to community leaders Confident public speaker and presenter, comfortable leading events and representing Primer externally Self-starter who thrives with autonomy and knows how to build systems out of ambiguity Results-driven, with past accountability for growth, enrollment, or revenue targets Highly organized and able to manage multiple relationships and events at once Generalist mindset - willing to roll up your sleeves to do both strategy and execution Must have a car and be available for regular travel across the state If this sounds like you, please apply!
