This is a high-impact leadership role for someone who thinks beyond content production and sees education as a strategic lever for customer activation, adoption, and long-term retention.


You will report to the Vice President, Brand & Product Marketing and lead a team of content specialists.
You will be responsible for both the strategy and the execution - setting the vision for how Calendly educates its customers across the full lifecycle, and building the systems, content, and team capabilities to deliver it at scale.

  • Partner closely with Product Marketing to ensure education content is embedded in every product launch - developing Help Center articles, demo videos, feature walkthroughs, and in-product guidance that help customers understand and adopt new capabilities quickly.

  • Raise the bar on multimedia content quality across the education function, partnering with your multimedia producer and the broader creative team to develop demo videos, feature tutorials, and educational experiences that are compelling, on-brand, and built for how customers actually learn.
  • Establish KPIs and a reporting cadence to measure the impact of education content - tracking metrics like feature activation rates, Help Center deflection, Learning Hub engagement, and time-to-value for new users.
    Use data and insights to continuously improve strategy and communicate program effectiveness to senior leadership.
  • Build the operational systems and workflows that allow your team to produce high-quality content at the speed of Calendly's product cadence, including processes for content planning, review, localization, and maintenance.
