Job Summary

Own the founder-brand and full growth engine from scratch, shaping voice, content, and events to drive demand and mindshare.

  • Ghost-write for the CEO and run the B2B content engine
  • Own PR, brand, and customer marketing to accelerate growth

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Build founder-brand for our CEO and CTO from a cold start. LinkedIn, X, podcasts, op-eds, conference stages.
  • Run the B2B content engine. Weekly cadence. Blog, social, video, weaponised content (data benchmarks, comparison cheat sheets, visual reports) that spreads inside the industry.
  • Ghost-write for our CEO.
  • Own PR. Build relationships with journalists and analysts who cover property, prop-tech, and AI.
  • Run customer marketing. Case studies, testimonials, reference programs, customer advisory boards.
  • Own the brand. Voice, positioning, narrative, visual identity (in partnership with the Founding Designer, and fractional CMO).
  • Own the website end-to-end. Homepage, product pages, careers, blog.
  • Run launches end-to-end. Product launches, big customer wins, fundraise announcements.
  • Plan and run events. Industry conferences, our own dinners, founder roundtables.
  • Measure what matters. Demos booked from inbound, mind-share signals, B2C user growth, viral coefficient.

Requirements

  • Strong writer. You write like a human, not a marketing deck. You can ghost-write for a founder without making them sound like everyone else on LinkedIn.
  • Strong taste. You can spot AI slop in three lines. You can spot a weak headline in three seconds.
  • Built a brand or audience from cold. Not "managed" one that already existed. You wrote the post that took off, recorded the video, made the thing that spread.
  • You switch registers. Writing for a 55-year-old branch manager on LinkedIn one hour, a 24-year-old renter on TikTok the next.
  • Hands-on across the whole stack. Website, content, social, email, video editing, PR, events.
  • Commercially literate. You can measure what works and you do.
  • You're genuinely customer and product obsessed. You care whether branch staff actually use cinnamon every day. Customer pain isn't just something to manage, it's something to understand deeply.
  • AI-native. Cursor, Claude, Lovable, v0, every AI writing and editing tool that ships. You orchestrate, you don't draft from scratch.
  • You move fast. First experiment shipped in week one, not week six.

Preferred

  • Founding or early marketing hire at a fast-moving B2B SaaS, AI, or fintech startup
  • Consumer marketplace or B2C growth background
  • You've grown a personal audience past 10,000 (Substack, LinkedIn, X, TikTok, podcast)
  • You've ghost-written for a founder before
  • You speak to GenZ as a native and have shipped content before

Benefits

  • £40K-£60K base depending on experience
  • Meaningful founding equity
  • Private health insurance
  • Wellhub Gym/Wellness plan
  • Dinners in the office
  • Brand new MacBook
