Remote (Ukraine and Europe) | Full-time | Advanced English | Overlap with US time (EST) required (at least 4-5h per day)

We’re looking for a Marketing & Growth Associate who operates with very high standards, moves fast, and thinks clearly. This is not a pure execution-type role. It’s for someone who wants real ownership, sharp thinking, and close exposure to how founders actually build companies.

You’ll work closely with our leadership team and support go-to-market, positioning, and founder-facing communications across A-Players and selected portfolio companies.

---

What You’ll Do

• Own marketing and communication initiatives end to end. From raw input to final delivery.

• Turn complex ideas, notes, or numbers into clear, founder-ready messages (LinkedIn, emails, decks, landing pages, internal docs).

• Write and edit content on behalf of founders, preserving tone, intent, and brevity.

• Support positioning, go-to-market initiatives, and curated events (e.g. founder dinners, partner or investor events).

• Research startups, markets, events, or ecosystems and synthesize insights into actionable angles.

• Manage timelines, follow-ups, and execution details without being chased.

• Proactively spot gaps, risks, or misalignment and suggest concrete next steps.

• Raise the bar continuously. If something feels mediocre, you’ll fix it.

This is not a social media or content-calendar role. It sits at the intersection of marketing, sales, and client relations.

Mandatory Hard Skills / Experience

• You're comfortable learning new tools quickly and navigating different systems. Specific tools matter less than your ability to figure things out fast.

• Marketing systems understanding: understands what CRM, funnels, attribution, and conversion mean.

• Business prioritization: able to triage multiple requests and make trade-offs based on business impact.

• Research & synthesis: quickly turns raw information into clear insights and actionable next steps.

• Founder-level writing: concise, high-judgment communication; able to write on behalf of founders (LinkedIn comments, DMs, emails).

• Analytics literacy: able to read and interpret basic metrics (traffic, conversions, engagement, funnel stages) and use data to support decisions, not just report it.

• Actively uses AI in daily workflows (research, synthesis, structuring), but does not outsource judgment, positioning, or creative thinking to AI.

Nice to Have

• Previous experience in marketing roles is a strong plus.

• Experience with productivity, research, CRM, and analytics tools (e.g. Notion/Docs, HubSpot, GA4, Crunchbase, LinkedIn) is an advantage

• Experience in startups, consulting, ops, or founder-support roles.

• Exposure to events, partnerships, or go-to-market initiatives (event platforms (Luma/Eventbrite)

• Strong attention to detail and follow-through.

---

What Success Looks Like

• Founders rely on you to turn vague inputs into sharp outputs.

• Communication becomes clearer and more consistent.

• Key initiatives (marketing, partnerships) move forward without reminders.

• Risks are flagged early, with proposed solutions.

• Your work supports growth, partnerships, and revenue-generating efforts.

---

What This Role Actually Is

You will split your focus between:

• Business Associate (BA) initiatives – founder-facing positioning, communications, partnerships, curated events

• Recruitment go-to-market support – messaging, role positioning, candidate-facing content, founder communication

This is a dynamic, high-context environment. We expect comfort with ambiguity and fast-moving priorities.
