We are looking for a performance-driven media buyer to help scale Gather ’Round Homeschool and our Online Academy. This role is focused on testing, optimizing, and scaling paid traffic with a strong emphasis on results. The media buyer will report to our Marketing Manager and work closely with our internal content team to ensure that what we are creating aligns with what is converting.
This is not a passive ads role. We need someone who can move quickly, analyze performance daily, and contribute to the overall growth strategy. You will not be responsible for creating content from scratch, but you will be expected to guide what content is produced based on performance data and testing.
The core responsibilities include:
-
- Managing and scaling paid ads, primarily on Meta and Google Ads, with potential expansion into YouTube
- Launching and testing a high volume of creatives on a weekly basis
- Identifying winning messaging, hooks, and audiences and scaling them effectively
- Monitoring performance daily and making timely optimizations
- Reporting clearly on what is working, what is not, and what should be tested next
- Collaborating with the content team to improve creative direction and messaging
- Optimizing campaigns for conversions, not just traffic
The ideal candidate has proven experience managing and scaling Meta ad accounts with meaningful monthly spend and has worked with digital products, courses, subscriptions, or education-based brands. They should have a strong understanding of direct response marketing, creative testing, and customer behavior, and be comfortable working in a fast-paced environment with frequent iteration.
This role is expected to be approximately 20–30 hours per week to start, with the potential to grow as the account scales.
Gather ’Round Homeschool is a growing Christian homeschool publication company seeking a Graphic Designer to help create engaging, high-quality print and digital resources for families and educators.
This role is ideal for a creative, detail-oriented designer who enjoys collaboration and bringing written content to life through thoughtful layout and design. You will work closely with writers, editors, and the creative team to produce curriculum, devotionals, and family resources.
Design experience is required for this role, and candidates should already be comfortable utilizing the Adobe Creative Suite, specifically InDesign.
This is a remote position with flexible hours. The hourly rate is $25-30, depending on experience and skill.
We are seeking illustrators who specialize in digital watercolor and line art using Procreate. The ideal candidate possesses a strong artistic eye, excellent creative skills, and a deep understanding of digital techniques that mimic traditional watercolor methods, such as layering, blending, washes, and texture creation. Illustrators should be comfortable switching between clean line art and expressive watercolor illustrations, depending on the needs of each project.
This role involves creating vibrant, engaging, and expressive illustrations for a variety of projects, including educational materials, branding, social media content, and promotional pieces. Subjects may include everyday objects, wildlife, trees and flora, scenes, portraits, animals, maps, and more. Each illustrator brings their own unique strengths and preferences, and we enjoy collaborating to align projects with individual niches whenever possible.
We highly value teamwork and thoughtful feedback. Although our team works remotely, we collaborate closely and intentionally to bring meaningful creative projects to life.
At this time, we are not actively hiring. However, we welcome you to submit your resume and portfolio for future consideration, and we would be happy to keep your information on file as opportunities arise.
Our illustration roles are contractor based and illustrators are paid per accepted illustration with a tiered payment model.
If you have a passion for digital watercolor illustration, enjoy collaborative work, and love contributing to meaningful, educational projects, we would be delighted to review your work and connect with you when the timing is right.

We are currently looking for a number of online teachers. This can be remote or in-person, but does require some good natural lighting, a good camera, good audio equipment, fiber-optic high-speed internet, and a decent backdrop that isn't too distracting. Experience with Gather 'Round materials (specifically the product lines listed below) is a huge benefit.
Teaching degree not required.
Position #1: We are looking for an online teacher for our Ready to Read program, teaching 4-6 year olds how to read through our curriculum. This is live teaching and will require some lesson prep, someone who is engaging and fun, etc. The live class will be at 1pm EST each day and run for about 30 minutes. The right applicant will need to be available for live teaching Monday-Thursday and commit to the full year from 12:30-1:30pm EST daily as well as about an hour of lesson prep daily.
Position #2: We are looking for an online teacher who is comfortable making content engaging for all ages (K-12) to teach full and mini units for our Online Academy this year. It requires finding fun resources, videos, and pictures to go along with lessons, someone who is comfortable with tech and hosting on Vimeo, someone who can prepare the lesson in point-form base, cover all of it, but not read it all verbatim. Someone who is comfortable going off script and can engage a diverse range of students (up to 600 viewers at one time—turning comments on and off, etc.) This class goes live at 10am EST daily from Monday-Thursday and requires someone to commit for the year from 9:30-11:30am daily as well as about 2 more hours with lesson prep each day for a total of 4 hours a day. This position will run all summer long with summer school classes and potentially start this spring with some of our classes now.
We MAY also look for people to mark work and put together report cards. This could either be something that goes along with the position above or a separate position.
Positions #3-9: This position may be unrealistic of me to find this year and I am prepared to wait another year to give us some time . . . but I figured I would throw it out there regardless. I would need 7 (seven) teachers who are available from 1pm-1:30pm EST daily Monday-Thursday each week to teach a level of math live. It would include some teaching, examples and going through the practice page together. In a perfect world, teachers would also grade students work and put together report cards. Together with lesson prep, fun videos, examples, and interacting with students, it would be a 3-5 hour a day commitment for each person. Individuals would need to have the same background, good natural lighting, sound and visual equipment and great fiber high-speed internet requirements of the other online positions. It would begin in early August and be a full year commitment.
For ALL teaching positions, applicants will be required to submit a teaching sample video, showcasing their style, background/lighting/sound, and editing. For Ready to Read, please use the sample materials for this unit here. For Position 2, use the sample materials for this unit here. And for positions 3-9, please teach one module from the sample here. Please choose the level you feel you would want to teach. Foundations is about Kindergarten level and Step 6 is grade 8-ish level.
It may help to see an example lesson here to see how our Academy currently operates. We are looking for someone who is making eye contact with the camera even while following notes (sometimes you will be reading but going off-script and expounding enough that it doesn't feel dry or "rote"), engaging, well-spoken, and well-prepared. Please submit a sample with your application for consideration.
While we are not currently hiring writers, we are always accepting applications for future consideration. We have a team of writers that are generally divided into three distinct areas. If you would like to apply, please fill out the application and send us a sample of your writing that would demonstrate your abilities in one of the following categories:
-
Modular Math: This applicant should have either a mathematics background or a passion for math to help us develop our Modular Math series. Duties may include writing the teaching portion for new concepts and/or the practice and review questions for students ranging from a Kindergarten to a 9th grade level.
-
Teacher's Guides: We look for qualified writers who can research information and present it in a clear and conversational way, appealing to listeners of all ages—Pre-school all the way to High School.
-
Student Notebooks: Our Student Notebook writers need a good understanding of the various ages and needs as well as our unique approach—where less is more and we try to get out of the traditional box of "read and write".
These are all part-time positions that require anywhere from 4-6 hours a day (could occasionally be longer), and we do often require Saturday work. Applicants must have the time and dedication to commit to meeting deadlines and working under pressure. They also must have strong writing mechanics and grammar skills, presenting information with good flow and organization.
Please note: the writing submitted will not be used by us in any way and is purely for a sample. You are free to use these same samples yourself for any other use and you own the copyright—translating no rights to us unless we negotiate that during the hiring process.
You can submit your application for any of the above positions using the 'apply now' button at the top. If we are actively hiring, there will be a red star next to that position. If a position is not currently open, you may not hear back from us right away. We do keep all applications on file and will be in touch if a position opens up.
Thanks for taking the time to prayerfully consider serving with us. We can't wait to see how God grows our team here at Gather 'Round!
