## About the role

We're hiring our first Marketing Associate: a bold, creative, outside-the-box thinker who's sharpened their instincts at consumer brands people love to talk about. You know what makes a hook land, a stunt spread and a comment section light up, and you're excited to bring that energy somewhere new. We're looking for someone who is immediately available for a full-time, 6-month contract and can work in-person in our SF office in the Mission 3 days/week. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- 2–4 years of relevant marketing experience: internships, contractor work, agency time, or running social for a brand (or yourself, if it's strong)
- Demonstrated taste for organic social. You live on TikTok and Instagram, can explain why a hook works, and your reference points come from consumer culture, not our category. You can spot a trend early and act on it fast, before the moment passes
- Strong people skills and follow-through. You can hold a creator's hand through a brief, chase down a missing deliverable without being annoying, and make people want to work with you
- Resourceful and scrappy. You'd rather figure it out and move than wait for instructions
- Already using AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, etc.) daily for research, briefs, copy drafts, summarizing comments, whatever speeds you up. You treat AI as a force multiplier, not a novelty
- Comfortable being in our SF office 3 days a week and working alongside a small, fast-moving team. Energy and hustle matter here
