🌎 Work from anywhere and take ownership from day one.

We are a mentorship marketplace connecting consumer brand founders with 500+ top operators, founders, and executives in DTC and retail. Our mentors have built some of the fastest‑growing brands in the industry, and our mentees are building the next wave.

Over the past five years, we’ve grown to millions in revenue purely through organic word‑of‑mouth and community — no paid marketing, no dedicated growth team.

1. You will own the full customer lifecycle — from signup to repeat purchase and advocacy.

2. You’ll also act as the connective tissue of our community, helping mentors and mentees stay engaged while surfacing and amplifying their stories.

3. This is a hands‑on, execution‑heavy role
:

• No team management
• No delegating strategy
• You are building, testing, and shipping

• Own the full journey: signup → first session → repeat customer
• Build, test, and optimize email sequences across the funnel
• Run weekly A/B tests
• Identify drop‑off points and fix them
• Drive improvements in:
• Activation rate
• Time‑to‑value
• Retention
• LTV

• Engage mentors and mentees to surface high‑value stories
• Curate and write the weekly newsletter
• Keep the community active and connected across channels
