Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Growth & Community: Lead membership growth via partnerships, referrals, events, content, and programs.
  • P&L & People: Manage P&L and line-manage Liv and Abbie, ensuring lean execution and direct when changes are needed; report to Lottie.

Requirements

  • A real track record in brand marketing and community, ideally across both, with experience leading a team.
  • You need to be comfortable with systems, taking creative brand thinking and making it operational for a lean team.
  • Commercial fluency. You can read a P&L, have a view on pricing, and connect day-to-day work to revenue.
  • The hustle to make things happen. You pick up the phone, go to the event, host a fireside chat with no prep, rewrite the page yourself if it isn't good enough.
  • Bold strategic instincts and the confidence to back them. If you think we're wrong about something, you'll say it fast and loudly.
  • A genuine curiosity about AI and automation, specifically how to run community operations faster and smarter with a small team.
  • Energy for the Up World world. You're excited about ambitious marketers, start-ups, and the craft of building brands with scrappy teams.
  • A deep fascination with start up marketing and a point of view on what makes it good. Ideally you’d have a network of start up marketers already and if not, you’ve got to be buzzed about making one.
  • Hybrid work arrangement and location details from the org text may apply.

  • 25 days holiday plus bank holidays, your birthday off, and a bonus day at Christmas.
