[CLOSED] We’re hiring in Charlotte, NC! was originally published in SkillPop on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.

WHO WE ARE

SkillPop is a community-led education company. We launched in 2015 with an in-person model, hosting pop-up style classes throughout the Southeast on topics like photography, watercolors, business development and more.

Like many companies, the pandemic forced us to make a major pivot. We spun up a virtual model in less than three weeks, launching an online class product called SkillPop Anywhere. In our online model, we continued to deliver the class content we were known for in a live, virtual environment. Over the last two years, we’ve also built out a B2B arm where we provide teambuilding and development classes to corporations.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

Part-time Customer Experience Associate (Charlotte, NC) — Flexible Hours

ABOUT THE ROLE

In this role, you’ll support both our corporate & virtual classes by:

• Setting up, facilitating, and breaking down in-person classes — especially for our corporate clients. You’ll be the face of our brand and a liaison for both our teacher & corporate partner; professionalism is a must.
• Managing communication with students who attend our public classes via our support inbox & messaging platform.
• Assisting with supply organization and prep for our growing number of in-person classes.
• Hosting virtual classes as needed.

More than anything, we’re looking for the right person who’s excited about growth potential on a small team and has a “put me in, coach” attitude. Our goal is to provide top-notch customer experiences for every student, teacher, and client and you’ll be a big part of this.

This role has work-from-home flexibility but is based in Charlotte, as the majority of our in-person corporate clients are here. Exact hours are flexible but we’re anticipating a starting point of 10–15 hours/week and are looking for someone with availability during standard business hours.

REQUIREMENTS

• Based in Charlotte, NC
• Flexible schedule with daytime availability
• Comfortable moderating both virtual class sessions and in-person classes
• A reliable mode of transportation
• A personal computer & strong home internet connection
• A well-lit, quiet, aesthetically pleasing space to broadcast from

DESIRED TRAITS & QUALIFICATIONS

• Punctual and dependable
• Excellent written and verbal communication abilities with high attention to detail (including using correct grammar, spelling, and punctuation)
• Confident leading groups or speaking publicly. No big speeches here, but you do need to be comfortable giving a short welcome (<5 minutes) at the beginning of each class
• Tech-savvy — you’re comfortable with basic computer skills and can figure most things out
• Warm, hospitable, and professional; you’ll be the face of our brand whether you’re in a class or responding to emails

THIS MAY ESPECIALLY BE A FIT IF

• You’re a strong problem-solver
• You’re a life-long learner and love to try new things
• You naturally make people feel welcome and can bring warmth to customer communication and our classes

We can’t wait to hear from you!

We’re Hiring in Charlotte, NC! was originally published in SkillPop on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.

Almost exactly a year ago, my husband and I found out that we were expecting a baby. As we started sharing the happy news with family and friends over the next few months, the questions started rolling in:

When are you due?

Do you know if it’s a boy or girl? (we didn’t!)

And, “wait…how does maternity leave work for you?”

I’ve been an entrepreneur since 2015, running education startup SkillPop. In that time we scaled an in-person class model to six cities, launched a virtual platform, survived a pandemic and built a corporate learning arm. I’ve hired and managed over 80 employees and taken us through a 12-week startup accelerator in Austin, Texas.

None of these felt as daunting as planning my own maternity leave.

At companies I worked for previously, parental leave was a given. And as an employer at SkillPop, it’s something that we’ve navigated for previous team members. But as a CEO and entrepreneur, it felt like a huge challenge. How would I step away for 12 weeks without putting too much of a burden on my team? Would our business suffer if I wasn’t there to lead, especially if unexpected challenges came up? And the question I got most often — would it be possible for me to truly disconnect?

Luckily, I have both an incredible team at work and at home and had 9 months to prepare. My son was born on July 14th and I was able to take a full twelve weeks off; here’s how we made it happen.

PLANNING AHEAD

As I thought about what I wanted for this season, my goal was simple: I wanted to take a full 12-week leave. Since my son was due on July 1st (I joked that he was business-minded — coming at the start of a new quarter!), my team and I had the first half of the year to prepare and used three main strategies:

1. Frontload
2. Delegate
3. Eliminate

I knew that I wouldn’t enjoy maternity leave if I felt like the business was suffering from being down a person, so the first thing we did was frontload as much as possible. SkillPop does both public, virtual classes and corporate teambuilding events. Corporate events make a huge impact on our bottom line and provide monthly stability, so our focus in the first half of the year was to book classes in advance that could be executed while I was out. We started pitching larger companies, booking recurring events (like monthly or quarterly classes for teams) and filling our pipeline early. Come July, we had a strong lineup of events that my team could run without me.

As a side note, this turned out to be a win-win — many of our clients loved getting their teambuilding and training events on the calendar early. 😉

We used the strategy of frontloading in other ways, too; I worked with a copywriter to batch-write the copy for all 35 marketing emails that would need to be sent so that no one would have to worry about that internally. We also had been wanting to try in-person public classes again for a while, so we ran a huge in-person series (with the kickoff when I was 36 weeks pregnant!) before I signed off for the summer.

Next, I focused on delegating. Everyone at a startup wears a few different hats; mine lately have been marketing, HR, and sales. I knew that my team couldn’t realistically divide up everything that falls in my bucket, so we took a few of the bigger things (social media management & email marketing copy) and contracted out additional help.

Finally, I took an honest look at my week-to-week responsibilities and did some eliminating. If it wasn’t a critical task (like sending marketing emails) and wasn’t easy for someone else to absorb (like tracking an extra metric or two throughout the week), we put it on pause for the summer.

DEFINING COMMUNICATION

A common question I got leading up to my leave was how “offline” I planned to be. SkillPop turned 7 while I was out; after being in business for that long, I knew it would be impossible to completely disconnect. I also wanted to make sure that if anyone on my team needed me, they had a channel for reaching out.

We decided on one weekly email. Every Friday, one of the women on my team sent me a quick report with high-level items like:

• Metrics: sales revenue, classes booked, etc.
• Team/staffing updates
• Notable challenges
• 911 (i.e., questions they needed help or input with)

Sending this email just took 15 minutes, helped us feel connected throughout the summer and gave me the perfect amount of information I needed to know how things were going.

TRANSITIONING BACK

As I start back up at work this week, I’m incredibly proud of everything my team accomplished while I was out — this wouldn’t have been possible without them. They maintained a busy schedule of public classes, ran over twenty corporate events, closed out our inaugural Summer Series and launched new partnerships.

And, I’m grateful for the last twelve weeks. A friend told me that the early newborn days were “exhausting, but pure magic” — and they were right. Being able to soak in these early days of parenthood has been critical to our health as a family, but it’s also been sweet. I know I’ve stored up lots of good memories of getting to know our baby boy.

As I head back into work at SkillPop, I’m more ready than ever to keep making magic happen here, too. 🎉

✨ Happy Holidays from all of us at SkillPop! ✨

2021 Holiday Gift Guide was originally published in SkillPop on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.

Seventeen months ago, we launched our online platform SkillPop Anywhere in response to COVID-19. To be honest, we had no idea how it would go. We started with early-adopter pricing of $20; even though it was a risk for our small business (at nearly 40% lower than our in-person ticket price!), we kept that price point for as long as possible while we worked to build a better online learning platform.

A year later, we’re thrilled to say that SkillPop Anywhere has found its home as a permanent part of our business model. It’s allowed us to connect with so many of you from all over the country, and we’ve heard time and time again that you want this to continue. And in order to do so, we’re looking ahead towards creating a sustainable business.

This week, we’re announcing the end of our early-adopter pricing with a small increase to $24 per class. And, we’re asking you to keep showing up. We’ve had incredible highs and lows in the last year, but we haven’t let go of our dream to make learning easier and more accessible than ever — and with every class, you join us for the journey.

Thanks for being part of our community of learners — we can’t wait to see you in class.
