Marketing Lead

Marketing Lead: Accelerating the Future of Tech

Location: New York City (Non-Negotiable Onsite)

compensation: $180K - $240K

We are a leading accelerator for founders building the next generation of decentralized and disruptive technologies. Since 2020, we've supported 300+ startups that are now collectively valued in the billions. We are a small, high-impact team backed by S-tier investors and founders from some of the world's most successful tech companies.

We're looking for a Marketing Lead to become the sole owner of our brand and marketing strategy, reporting directly to a Co-founder/CPO. Your mission: ensure every ambitious founder knows we exist and applies to our program. This is a high-agency, high-reward role for an individual contributor ready to make a career-defining commitment.

As the Marketing Lead, you will be a hands-on Individual Contributor responsible for the entire marketing funnel, with a primary focus on driving founder applications.

• Own and execute a full-funnel marketing strategy, constantly optimizing for application volume and quality using data.
• Lead all content creation and distribution across key channels, including X (Twitter), LinkedIn, video production (podcast, clipping, short-form), blog posts, and community communications (DAO comms).
• Manage and execute live events central to our community, such as Demo Days and MVP Hackathons.
• Develop and shape the brand's voice to authentically resonate with both crypto-native and Gen Z founder audiences.
• Launch creative campaigns that firmly position the organization at the center of founder culture, both in NYC and globally.
• Manage external contractors (e.g., video editors, photographers) as needed for execution.

• Crypto-Native: Deep, proven understanding of the industry's culture, memes, market cycles, and key players.
• Proven Track Record: Significant marketing experience at a leading crypto protocol, fund, or a top-tier tech/VC firm. This is not an entry-level position.
• Exceptional Communicator: Able to speak authentically and compellingly to both technical founders and Gen Z audiences.
• Master of X (Twitter): Must demonstrate exceptional ability to grow and engage an audience on X, while also possessing a clear strategy for expanding beyond the immediate crypto ecosystem.
• High-Agency, Entrepreneurial, and Self-Driven: You are comfortable setting your own aggressive priorities and executing them without constant management.
• Hands-On IC Orientation: You will not be building or managing a team—you are the team. We are a small group of builders where everyone executes.
• Comfortable with AI Tools: Eager to leverage modern AI to accelerate workflows and drive efficiency.
• NYC Relocation: Non-negotiable requirement to be based in New York City to work alongside our founders and team.

Why NOT join us:

• If you are not willing to get your hands dirty and prioritize building over managing.
• If you prioritize a strict work/life balance; this role demands focus, hunger, and a career-defining level of commitment.
• If you need others to set your priorities or keep you on track.

• Career Accelerator: This role provides unparalleled experience and a network that sets you up for any high-impact path in crypto/AI—at startups, venture firms, or your own company.
• Impact and Ownership: Your work directly shapes how the next generation of ambitious founders discovers our organization. You will have direct ownership and high visibility within the organization.
• High-Performance Team: Join a small, high-trust team with outsized impact, composed of veterans from Meta, WhatsApp, Coinbase, and Y Combinator.
• Innovation & Network: Work daily with the most ambitious founders in crypto and AI, learning firsthand from hundreds of startups that are reinventing industries.
• Backing: We are backed by S-tier investors including Initialized Capital, Founders Fund, Multicoin, and Dragonfly, along with notable angel investors.
• Compensation & Package: Competitive Base Salary ($180K - $240K) + 0.1% - 0.4% Equity (Depending on Seniority).
