Job description

We’re building the future of retail with a cutting-edge on-demand marketplace app that connects retailers with local customers in real time. Our platform enables users to shop from nearby retailers and receive items at their doorstep instantly.

We’re looking for a founding team member to lead growth and acquisition across both sides of our marketplace—bringing on new users and recruiting top local retailers. If you’re highly connected in retail, obsessed with growth, and motivated by meaningful equity ownership, this is your opportunity to build from the ground up.

You will be at the intersection of marketing, user growth, and business development. Your job is to grow our user base and retail network through smart marketing strategies, data-driven acquisition campaigns, and persuasive B2B outreach. This is a high-impact role with direct influence on the company’s traction and revenue.

Tasks

User Growth & Marketing

• Launch performance marketing campaigns across paid channels, SEO, influencers, referral programs, etc.
• Build user retention through lifecycle marketing, loyalty, and engagement strategies.
• Optimize acquisition funnels with a data-driven mindset (CAC, LTV, ROAS).
• Shape our go-to-market approach alongside product and design.

Retailer Acquisition & Partnerships

• Leverage your existing retail network to bring top local partners onto the platform.
• Build and manage a pipeline of retail partners across grocery, fashion, electronics, and more.
• Own retailer onboarding, engagement, and co-marketing initiatives.
• Develop scalable B2B acquisition strategies to grow our supply side.

Growth Strategy

• Track KPIs and iterate quickly to optimize growth efforts.
• Experiment across verticals, locations, and messaging to find traction.
• Provide constant feedback to product and ops to improve value prop and partner experience.

Requirements

• 3+ years of experience in growth, marketing, partnerships, or business development.
• You have existing, active contacts in the retail sector—especially with SMBs, franchises, or chains—and can leverage these to accelerate retailer onboarding.
• Background in marketplaces or e-commerce.
• Hands-on with performance marketing, analytics tools, and CRM systems.
• A natural hustler who thrives in ambiguity and moves fast with limited resources.
• You’re looking to build, not just work—you want real equity and real ownership.

Benefits

• Be a founding team member with direct impact on the company’s success.
• Receive meaningful equity in a high-potential venture.
• Help shape a platform that empowers local businesses and changes how people shop.
• Work with a lean, ambitious team and build something from zero.
