  • You have strong creative judgment and can move quickly without losing the details
  • You’re curious about performance data and willing to change your approach based on what you learn
  • You’re comfortable working closely with founders in an early-stage environment
  • 2–4 years of relevant experience across social media, content creation, community, or brand marketing. That experience might come from a consumer brand, startup, agency, publication, creator role, or your own channels
