Marketing/Sales Assistant

Readeezy, a digital library for struggling teen and older readers, is seeking motivated, creative and detail-oriented Volunteer Marketing/Sales Assistants for our growing team. In this role, you will support our sales and outreach efforts by initiating and nurturing relationships with school districts, literacy organizations, libraries, and other educational institutions to promote our award-winning digital library for struggling and disabled readers.

As a frontline communicator, you’ll be instrumental in identifying potential partners, reaching out via email and phone, scheduling meetings for our senior sales team, and maintaining accurate records in our CRM system. Your work will directly contribute to expanding access to high-quality, inclusive reading materials for delayed and disabled readers in middle and high school.

This is a career-building opportunity for someone who is passionate about education, literacy, and equity, and who is eager to grow within a mission-driven organization.

About our Readers

Readeezy’s target audience consists of struggling, disabled older readers; therefore, we focus on publishing high-interest, low-reading-level stories that have illustrations on every page. These types of stories are engaging for their age group and can be easily read and understood by them. Unfortunately, a lot of books that are accessible to struggling readers are tailored towards elementary students. Older students are not interested in the juvenile content of these books, which leads to them refusing to read, which leads to them continuing to struggle. Our vision is to create a digital library that will help them enjoy the activity of reading again.

Readeezy stories are 3,500-4,000 word stories written at a 3rd or 4th grade level with 5-6 chapters.
