As Ray's Founding Marketer, you'll build our growth engine from scratch.

- Develop Ray's core messaging, positioning, and value propositions that will serve as the foundation for all marketing efforts.

- Begin testing and validating our messaging on 1-2 core channels with scrappy, low-cost experiments.
- Own our content and social media presence, creating initial assets that speak directly to our ICP.
- Identify growth opportunities (onboarding, activation, retention) via user interviews and analytics.
✅ Skills Needed

- Exceptional communication and writing skills, with the ability to develop strong messaging that cuts through the noise.
- Proven ability to conduct qualitative customer research (interviews, surveys) and translate those insights into actionable marketing strategies.
- Hands-on experience managing multiple marketing functions, including content, social media, email, and basic paid acquisition.
- A "doer" mentality with a portfolio of work (e.g., copy you've written, campaigns you've run, landing pages you've built).
- Big bonus points if you use Ray - we live our customer journey daily.

- 6-Months: Repeatable acquisition engines that 10× active users and set us up for Series-A-level scale.
