Who You Are

You're hungry - for growth, for impact, for raising the bar. You thrive in a fast-moving environment where the job description is a starting point.

We're building this marketing function from scratch, and we'd love someone who finds that exciting, not intimidating. That means close collaboration, wearing multiple hats, and creating processes where there aren't any yet.

You take ownership seriously - focused on results, not optics. You respect your own time and everyone else's. You don't need to be managed, you take initiative and communicate proactively.

We're a tight, driven team. We offer flexibility, we work hybrid, and the autonomy to actually build and grow.
