Role: Founding Growth & Marketing Lead – Counselio

Location: Remote (US preferred)

Commitment: Flexible Hours

About Counselio:

Counselio is building the first AI-powered copilot for college admissions counselors — helping them streamline strategy, unify student narratives, and give data-backed advice with confidence. We’re at the earliest stage, but with a huge vision: transforming how admissions guidance is delivered.

Why this role matters:

You’ll be the growth engine at the ground floor. From shaping our go-to-market strategy to closing early partnerships with independent counselors, you’ll play a direct role in defining our customer base and revenue model.

What you’ll do

Lead cold outreach campaigns to admissions counselors, school networks, and education orgs
Build scalable marketing funnels (email, LinkedIn, partnerships)
Shape brand positioning & messaging with the founding team
Represent Counselio at relevant industry events & communities
Experiment, iterate, and find repeatable channels that bring in paying customers

What’s in it for you:

Equity: 5-10%, founding team level upside without the technical founder risk
Title: Founding Growth & Partnerships Lead
Ownership: This is not a “marketing manager” role — you’ll have autonomy to design and execute growth strategy from scratch
Future Compensation: Competitive salary post-funding

Who you are:

Ambitious undergraduate student
You thrive in zero-to-one environments and aren’t afraid to pick up the phone or DM strangers
You’ve run campaigns, closed deals, or grown a community from scratch
You love experimenting with scrappy, high-impact tactics
You’re excited by high risk, high reward opportunities
