Paid Search (Digital) Marketing Course Instructor

Climb Hire’s mission is to create economic opportunity and mobility. We train and prepare diverse and determined working adults earning below the livable wage for entry-level jobs in corporate America through our learning tracks. Most Climbers are between the ages of 22 and 40, and the majority do not hold four-year degrees. We’re not just a class; we’re a community. 

Relationship-building is at the core of our model since we know that 9 out of 10 job seekers land roles through warm connections versus applying cold. Our community is built on “paying it forward”: we forge a network of peers and alumni who empower each other in every way through job referrals and emotional and intellectual support. 80% of our first and second cohorts secured jobs that increased their income 2-3x. 

This is a remote role. Climb Hire is a national, fully distributed organization.
