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 Specialist 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.

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

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.

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.
