Senior Growth & Lifecycle Marketing Manager

About Sweatpals

At Sweatpals, our mission is to help people build real connection through movement - and empower the next generation of fitness entrepreneurs.

Backed by a16z Speedrun, Kevin Hart, and other world-class investors, we connect hundreds of thousands of “Pals,” hosts, and gyms through events, memberships, and social features.

We believe working out should be joyful, social, and inclusive - not just a solo grind. From run clubs and beach pilates to pickleball leagues and cold plunge socials, Sweatpals turns everyday workouts into meaningful social experiences.

Sweatpals also gives local leaders the tools to grow their fitness communities from side hustles to full-time, even million-dollar businesses. Hosts use our platform to run their business - from ticketing and memberships to marketing tools.

As we scale, growth and lifecycle marketing play a critical role in turning this mission into sustainable business impact. You’ll help build and optimize the systems that connect Pals to their next experience - and make Sweatpals a habit, not a one-time event.
