Skills
- 5+ years of experience in growth, brand, content, product marketing, or a related function at a high-growth technology company
- You've built growth from zero before. Whether you were the first marketing hire or joined shortly after, you've created systems, content, campaigns, and distribution from a blank slate rather than inheriting an established function
- You're energized by ambiguity and building from first principles. You'd rather create the playbook than inherit one
- Exceptional storytelling skills with a strong understanding of how to simplify complex ideas into compelling content
- Deep understanding of modern content distribution, internet culture, and social platforms
- Proven experience launching campaigns or products that generated meaningful organic reach and customer engagement
- Strong product intuition with an understanding of how product, storytelling, and distribution work together
- Experience using AI to create, automate, and scale content and marketing workflows
- Strong analytical mindset with experience measuring experiments and making data-informed decisions
- Comfortable working directly with founders and executives in a fast-moving environment
- Entrepreneurial, highly curious, and willing to own whatever it takes to drive growth
- Experience in fintech is preferred, but we're equally excited about candidates from AI, developer tools, consumer technology, SaaS, marketplaces, or other fast-growing startups known for innovative marketing and product storytelling
