Who We Are

Summer’s mission is to help the 45 million Americans burdened by student debt save time and money through smart, algorithm-based recommendations. Summer combines policy expertise and innovative technology to serve student loan borrowers across the country. Our founding team draws on years of experience in public policy, law, consumer finance, and engineering to tackle one of the greatest challenges of our generation.

We're also backed by a team of world-class investors, including General Catalyst, NextView, Greycroft, Foundation Capital and Story Ventures, and our university partners include Yale and Tufts.

Recommended Experience

As Director of Marketing, you will lead our efforts to build a trusted user brand and pursue new growth opportunities. We are seeking a teammate with 7+ years of relevant marketing experience within consumer-facing tech organizations. We will be evaluating your track record of building and scaling marketing efforts as well as your experience managing high-performing teams. A quantitative approach to understanding and measuring marketing initiatives will also enable success in this role. If you're process-oriented and excited to take ownership of our marketing efforts to build a brand that's breaking down barriers to higher education, you'll be a great fit.
