Brand & Marketing Lead

Job Overview

We are looking for a Brand and Marketing Lead to own how Terra Firma shows up in the world.

• Must be willing to work on site in Austin, TX
• Comfortable operating in a fast paced, scrappy startup environment
• Willing to work irregular hours around launches, announcements, and critical moments
