About the Role Location: Remote, United States Role Type: Full-Time Reporting to: Chief Product Officer Total Compensation: $180,000 - $230,000 Base salary: $135,000 - $175,000 Total compensation includes base salary plus a guaranteed monthly supplement CodePath is proving the model for economic mobility at scale, serving tens of thousands of students annually, primarily from underrepresented backgrounds. Despite strong outcomes and year-over-year growth, we still have a significant opportunity to expand our reach and serve a much larger portion of the Computer Science student body, who increasingly need our programs to compete in an AI-native workforce. The Director of Growth will lead CodePath from 40,000 students served to 100,000 annual enrollments. CodePath's platform, curriculum, and alumni network are under-leveraged growth assets. This role exists to turn them into a compounding enrollment engine: designing the in-product experiences that drive re-enrollment and referral, activating alumni and student word-of-mouth at scale, and layering on paid and outreach channels where they accelerate what's already working organically. On the product side, this role partners with Product to design platform experiences that drive re-enrollment, reduce attrition, and build the in-product mechanics that turn students into advocates. On the marketing side, this role sets the channel strategy, manages the paid media budget, and makes data-driven decisions about where to invest and what to cut. On the outreach side, it means overseeing a centralized, digital-first system that reaches faculty, advisors, and academic champions at scale through HubSpot automation and AI-assisted personalization. This is a strategic player-coach role reporting to the Chief Product Officer, with direct leadership visibility and real autonomy. You will manage a Senior Manager of Growth Marketing & Outreach and work closely with Product, Curriculum, and University Partnerships, building a lean team as the function grows. The right candidate is an analytically rigorous, AI-native growth leader, someone who designs systems, runs structured experiments, and sees expanding economic opportunity for underrepresented students in tech as a meaningful differentiator.
