​

How Will I Make An Impact?

​​

You’ll join a team with a genuine interest in creating a world served by exceptional professionals. You’ll market new products that help improve how higher education admissions processes select for people skills, and how these skills are evaluated and taught within the programs themselves. This is a team tackling tough problems - like  how to evaluate empathy in someone who wants to train to become a doctor!

 

Reporting to the Director of Product Marketing, you’ll work with the growth team to explore new and existing products in new markets. You’ll work with a Solution Marketing Manager to understand a new market, and how your product can solve a need in that market. From there, you’ll build and own the marketing playbook, including buyer personas, messaging, pricing and packaging, internal and external communication, competitive landscape, and sales enablement development. You’ll manage the engagement and conversions throughout the lifecycle with new products. You’ll lead advisory panels and interview market partners in the journey of defining new products that solve important problems. Your experience owning the growth strategy of existing products into new markets and running beta plans of new products will help you thrive in this role!

What’s the Process?

 

Altus Assessments is hyper-focused on delivering a positive candidate experience. The general hiring process looks like the following:

 

Introductory phone screen: Chandra (Altus’s Recruitment Specialist) will review your profile and, if selected, schedule a phone call to get to know you better and tell you more about the role and company.

 

If you pass the phone screen, you’ll have a video chat with their Director of Product Marketing, Rebecca, to discuss your experiences in more depth.

 

Once passed, you’ll have a remote team interview where you’ll virtually meet with 4-6 members of the Altus team to assess your technical skills, values fit, and cultural add. You may be asked to complete a short task that closely mirrors some aspects of the role. 

After references checks, it’ll be over to the hiring manager to make a decision, with the potential for a quick additional call. 

 

Offer! If you’re a great match for Altus, and they’re a great fit for you, an official offer will be made!
