Job Summary

- Flexible Commitment: Can do short-term long-term or intermittent.
Why so flexible Were a FUNDED startup racing to launch end of Q3 2026. That gives us just 3 months to stack features while raising additional working capital. Feel free to jump in help us ship then bounce >> or stick around. A successful launch translates into lots of permanent jobs for those that want them. Were also interested in long-term side gig relationships if thats what youre intoin our experience a few expert hours often beat full-time learning-curve hours.
Were a credible funded remote-first startup backed by a growing team. Were pre-launch and moving fast.
This is the next step up from a creator seat: instead of making all the content you own the system what we post who posts about us and whether any of it is working.
Two motions one seat. Social: channel mix calendar community brand voice. Influencer / creator marketing: find the people whose audience we want brief them ship the collaboration and track whether it moved anything. UGC nano/micro creators affiliates and bigger names are all in play we care about reach we can actually use not vanity follows.
This is ideal for someone with 35 years in social influencer creator partnerships or brand content who has already graduated from I post well to I can run a brands social and a creator program and wants startup ownership without waiting for a bigger-company title.
Youll answer: Which platforms deserve our time Which creators are worth the relationship Whats converting vs. just getting likes Whos posting what this week us or them
Up to $100000 max total annual compensation in Tier 1 cities; cash and equity components to be negotiated. Given the flexible commitment model comp will be structured accordingly fractional or hourly arrangements welcome.
