Community activation, ambassador or referral programs
Content creation and campaign building
Partnerships, student operations, or campus-led engagement

If you read this and feel energised, rather than overwhelmed - you’re likely a great fit.

Consider this our wish-list. We know there will be great candidates that don't meet every one of these criteria—if you're passionate about the role and have early-stage startup experience, we'd still love to hear from you.
