TeamFlicks - Founding Community Manager / Growth Marketer (Remote)
TeamFlicks is Duolingo-meets-TeamSnap for youth sports: a mobile, video-first accountability layer that turns coach-assigned drills into measurable at-home training habits through streaks, social proof, and parent-friendly onboarding.
MissionOwn coach growth end-to-end: acquire coaches, activate teams fast, and build a repeatable community-led growth engine that increases weekly player practice submissions.
Coach acquisition across grassroots channels (coach communities, clubs, leagues, social, referrals, direct outreach).
Team activation from signup to first “successful week” (roster invited, players submitting videos, coaches engaging).
Community programming for coaches and parents (playbooks, office hours, onboarding cohorts, success stories).
Lifecycle campaigns (email/SMS/in-app messaging) to improve week-1 and week-4 retention.
Content loop: turn product use into growth assets (testimonials, mini case studies, short social content).
Voice-of-customer loop: collect objections/friction and translate into clear product and messaging priorities.
