manifest.market | Founders Associate (Growth & Distribution)

We're a VC-backed startup building the information layer for how consumers track and forecast the future. Integrating prediction markets alongside news, socials and other real-time sources. Small team, high ambition.

The Role:

First growth hire. This is a high-ownership, builder role for a high-agency generalist. You'll report directly to the founders and have full latitude to define how the work gets done.

As founders associate, your remit is whatever is highest-leverage for the company. Your first mandate: launch the distribution engine and funnel for our prediction market product, how people discover us, why they sign up, and what brings them back. You'll set the zero-to-one strategy and personally execute the highest-leverage work across performance marketing, lifecycle, social, community, creator partnerships, and brand; building the playbook as you go. Your first 6 months: you'll build an engaged audience, stand up a consistent content and sales pipeline, and convert that attention into signups. From there, the role grows with the company.

What You'll Own

- Own go-to-market strategy and execution end to end, spanning positioning, content, community, growth, and launch communications

- Develop and articulate company and product narrative across a range of audiences, including users, partners, and press

- Build and manage content across written, visual, and video formats

- Establish and grow an early community of engaged users

- Design and run early-stage growth experiments across paid, organic, and partnership channels

- Lead marketing efforts around key public moments, including fundraising announcements and product launches

- Prioritise independently across competing needs within a fast-moving, resource-constrained environment

What We're Looking For

- Demonstrated high agency and ownership, with a track record of driving initiatives independently rather than executing within a defined structure (show us something you built)

- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate complex or technical subject matter into clear, compelling narrative

- Comfortable operating with minimal process, direct access to founders, and shifting priorities

- Strong independent judgment and the ability to manage one's own workload with limited oversight

- Prior industry-specific experience is not required; we place greater weight on capability, speed, and initiative than on years of experience

Nice to Have

- Familiarity with financial products, fintech, prediction markets, forecasting platforms

- Experience in media or content-driven businesses

- Experience marketing to both B2C and B2B

The Details

- Fully remote, with approximately two hours of overlap with UK working hours required, between 12:00pm and 5:30pm UK time (New York, Amsterdam, Paris, Berlin and other)

- Open to permanent employment or contractor arrangements

- Compensation structure, including equity, is flexible and open to discussion
