As our first marketing hire, you’ll own the end-to-end strategy while rolling up your sleeves to drive growth across demand generation, content, partnerships, influencer marketing, and digital campaigns. Over time, you’ll grow and lead a high-performing marketing team while managing external agencies and contractors.
