About Robolink

Robolink is one of Inc 5000’s fastest-growing private companies for 2025 with products trusted in 7,000+ US schools. Our flagship product, CoDrone EDU, is a career-launching, classroom-ready drone that students in grades 5 and up can program with Blockly and Python. We have a tight-knit team, we’re profitable, and we’re committed to growing and learning every day. If you’re excited about joining a fast-growing startup and working toward a mission you can be proud of, then Robolink is a good fit for you.

We work out of headquarters in San Diego and with team members around the world, and we're passionate about building a company as diverse as our community of teachers and students.

The Role

The Growth Marketing Contractor will audit, advise on, and optimize Robolink’s organic and paid B2B marketing initiatives. During a 6-month period, you’ll:

• Audit Robolink’s current demand gen and growth marketing channels, then
• Establish a new strategy, channel mix, and reporting for all things acquisition related.

You’ll also get a desk-friendly drone to play with and program!

Together with our Marketing Director, you will focus on experimentation in 2026 with a goal to find the channels and content that perform best for Robolink. When it comes to reporting to leadership, we’ll all recognize that the “big misses” are just as valuable as the “big wins” for helping us learn, grow, and build the biggest drone brand in EdTech.
