Our Team

Summer’s vision is to help the 44 million Americans burdened by student debt save time and money through customized 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’ve registered as a public benefit corporation (PBC) as part of our commitment to helping all borrowers improve their financial health through smart repayment strategies. We're backed by a team of world-class investors, including General Catalyst, NextView, Greycroft, Foundation Capital and Story Ventures—and our first partner is Yale University.

Your Role

We’re looking for a marketing director to join our team as we engage student loan borrowers and industry players in advancing conversations about student debt. You will develop our content marketing strategy to leverage our position as a thought leader in the personal finance and student debt space. The goals are to increase brand awareness, share useful information, and push the envelope on important economic topics.

As a founding member of our marketing and communications team, you will oversee our marketing strategy and spearhead creative campaigns as Summer continues to grow.

Recommended Experience

Sound interesting? To be successful in this role, you should have a marketing or communications background with experience managing marketing efforts in an entrepreneurial setting. If you’re data-driven and excited to take ownership while collaborating to build a brand that’s breaking down barriers to higher education, you’ll be a great fit.

Our Values

Our greatest asset is the set of values our team strives to embody every day in our office (located next to Grand Central): empathy, diversity, growth, determination, humility, and fun. Read more about what these mean to us at https://www.meetsummer.org/careers.
