About the Role
We’re looking for a design-led, full-time marketing operator to own the creative execution and day-to-day growth channels of our brand. This role sits at the intersection of design, lifecycle marketing, and community-driven growth, and is critical to how we scale efficiently and consistently across markets.
This is not a narrow design role — and it’s not a junior social media role. You’ll lead our design execution, manage our email and CRM programs, and help drive organic growth through ambassadors, influencers, and partnerships.
If you’re someone who thinks visually first, cares deeply about brand consistency, and also understands how creative assets actually perform in market — this role is for you.

3. Content Systems & Organic Execution
Bring structure and consistency to our content ecosystem.

Design and schedule organic social content
-
Maintain visual and tonal consistency across platforms
-
Repurpose content efficiently across channels

Execute content aligned to campaigns, city launches, and seasonal moments
-
Collaborate with the CMO on campaign storytelling and messaging direction
Note: Strategic content planning is shared with the CMO; this role focuses on execution, systems, and creative direction.

Support and scale community-driven growth initiatives.

Support influencer and UGC campaign execution

What Success Looks Like (6–12 Months)

Our brand looks consistent, polished, and scalable across every channel

Creative assets ship quickly and perform better over time

Email and CRM become a reliable growth lever, not an afterthought

Social and ambassador content feels cohesive and intentional

The marketing team spends less time “fixing” assets and more time scaling
