Lessonbee Inc. is building a future where young people learn to manage and nurture all dimensions of well-being in grades K-12.

We’re a small team doing big things in edtech with backers including Google, Spring Mountain Capital, Draper Richards Kaplan Foundation, Connecticut Innovations, Ruthless for Good, and Portfolia. Our values are authenticity, bravery, creativity, diversity, and clarity. Since 2018 our innovative health education startup has been featured in TechCrunch, Forbes, and Fast Company, and our CEO was named one of the 100 most influential African Americans of 2020 by The Root.
Lessonbee is a crosswalk of health education and social emotional learning that drives measurable gains in student self-efficacy and well-being. Informed by cognitive science and neuroscience research, our interactive content uses a diverse cast of fictional characters to teach a skills-based health and SEL curriculum through realistic scenarios and stories. We're looking for a video editor to support a number of initiatives at Lessonbee, ranging from editing testimonial videos to creating original animated and live-actions videos. Qualified candidates will be experienced in Adobe Premiere. Exposure to Vyond and other Adobe CC apps is helpful. Applicants with social media experience, especially TikTok, and organic SEO knowledge are strongly preferred. Must be willing to work 3 days a week from our Stamford office.
This role is funded by the CT Next Talent Bridge program, which supports groundbreaking companies with the programs, partners and ecosystems they need to thrive. As per the objectives of the program, this role has the potential conversion to full time after 6 months based on performance.
At Lessonbee, we know that healthy students behave better and perform better academically, and when students see themselves reflected in their lessons their outcomes improve. We actively seek applicants from culturally and linguistically diverse communities to join our team. We believe in the power of digital learning and the agency of young people, and we’re building technology to support youth in creating a healthier future for everyone. If this resonates with you and you possess the mindset and skill set to support our ambitious vision, we encourage you to apply for the opportunity to positively impact the lives of millions of young people.
