About the Role
We're an early-stage, AI-powered marketplace connecting Gen Z college students and young professionals with brand partners for paid work opportunities — from quick micro-tasks to longer-term gigs.

Partner with creative to develop ad assets, landing pages, and case studies.
Collaborate with product to improve conversion flows and identify built-in growth loops.
