Job Description

Company Description Unvault is building the first financial platform dedicated to personal gold and jewelry, a $1 trillion asset class that is largely untapped. Using AI-powered evaluations and live market data, Unvault instantly values gold jewelry and turns it into a liquid, investable, and trackable asset class - one people can value, manage, and act on with confidence. Snap a photo, get an instant AI-powered valuation, add it to your portfolio, track it in real time, and sell directly to us at a transparent, fair price.

The company is redefining the role of gold in modern finance by transforming forgotten jewelry into a new form of accessible wealth. The traditional gold and jewelry industry runs on predatory margins. Dealers and pawn shops profit by keeping people in the dark about what their gold is actually worth. Unvault flips that model — we show you the real number first. No haggling, no gut-feel offers, no information asymmetry. We're a small, high-conviction team in the Bay Area at the beginning of something big. Everyone here owns a meaningful piece of the mission.

Role Description The Marketing Associate is a full-time, on-site role based in the SF Bay Area. This role is responsible for supporting day-to-day marketing activities including the below:

  • Own end-to-end execution of marketing campaigns — from ideation through copy, creative, scheduling, and performance reporting.
  • Tell the Unvault story in a way that shifts how people think about the gold they already own — making the $1T asset class narrative land for a mainstream audience.
  • Build and grow our presence across social, email, SEO, and community channels; find where our audience is and show up with the right message.
  • Create content that builds trust and drives action — customer stories, gold market education, product launches, valuation insights, and brand storytelling.
  • Run scrappy acquisition experiments across paid, organic, and referral; kill what doesn't work and scale what does.
  • Manage lifecycle email to move people from first valuation to active portfolio to eventual sale — a multi-touch, trust-heavy journey.
  • Track performance metrics and translate data into clear learnings and prioritized next steps.
  • Use AI tools to move faster — content production, audience research, creative iteration, workflow automation.

Qualifications

  • 0–2 years in marketing, content, growth, or communications — internships and side projects count.
  • Strong writer with a clear, trustworthy voice; you know how to educate and build confidence in a skeptical audience.
  • Bias toward action — ship, learn, improve; you don't wait for perfect.
  • Comfortable operating in ambiguity; you can set your own direction and make real progress without hand-holding.
  • Data-oriented — you check whether what you're doing is actually working and adjust accordingly.
  • Fluent with or actively building proficiency in AI tools to work faster without cutting corners on quality.
  • Genuinely excited by the problem — democratizing fair value in an industry that has historically been opaque and predatory.

Nice to Have

  • Experience at an early-stage startup or consumer brand.
  • Familiarity with Klaviyo, Webflow, Notion, or Canva.
  • A portfolio or examples of content you've created — campaigns, social, newsletters, anything showing your voice.
  • Interest in personal finance, commodities, or the resale and recommerce space.
