Growth & Marketing Specialist | A-Players

Remote (Ukraine and Europe) | Full-time | Advanced English | Overlap with US time (EST) required (at least 4-5h per day) We’re looking for a Marketing & Growth Specialistwho operates with very high standards, moves fast, and thinks clearly. This is not a pure execution-type role. It’s for someone who wants real ownership, sharp thinking, and close exposure to how founders actually build companies. You’ll work closely with our leadership team and support go-to-market, positioning, and founder-facing communications across A-Players and selected portfolio companies. What You’ll Do - Own marketing and communication initiatives end to end. From raw input to final delivery. - Turn complex ideas, notes, or numbers into clear, founder-ready messages (LinkedIn, emails, decks, landing pages, internal docs). - Write and edit content on behalf of founders, preserving tone, intent, and brevity. - Support positioning, go-to-market initiatives, and curated events (e.g. founder dinners, partner or investor events). - Research startups, markets, events, or ecosystems and synthesize insights into actionable angles. - Manage timelines, follow-ups, and execution details without being chased. - Proactively spot gaps, risks, or misalignment and suggest concrete next steps. - Raise the bar continuously. If something feels mediocre, you’ll fix it. This is not a social media or content-calendar role. It sits at the intersection of marketing, sales, and client relations. Mandatory Hard Skills / Experience - You're comfortable learning new tools quickly and navigating different systems. Specific tools matter less than your ability to figure things out fast. - Marketing systems understanding: understands what CRM, funnels, attribution, and conversion mean. - Business prioritization: able to triage multiple requests and make trade-offs based on business impact. - Research & synthesis: quickly turns raw information into clear insights and actionable next steps. - Founder-level writing: concise, high-judgment communication; able to write on behalf of founders (LinkedIn comments, DMs, emails). - Analytics literacy: able to read and interpret basic metrics (traffic, conversions, engagement, funnel stages) and use data to support decisions, not just report it. - Actively uses AI in daily workflows (research, synthesis, structuring), but does not outsource judgment, positioning, or creative thinking to AI. Nice to Have - Previous experience in marketing roles is a strong plus. - Experience with productivity, research, CRM, and analytics tools (e.g. Notion/Docs, HubSpot, GA4, Crunchbase, LinkedIn) is an advantage - Experience in startups, consulting, ops, or founder-support roles. - Exposure to events, partnerships, or go-to-market initiatives (event platforms (Luma/Eventbrite) - Strong attention to detail and follow-through. What Success Looks Like - Founders rely on you to turn vague inputs into sharp outputs. - Communication becomes clearer and more consistent. - Key initiatives (marketing, partnerships) move forward without reminders. - Risks are flagged early, with proposed solutions. - Your work supports growth, partnerships, and revenue-generating efforts. What This Role Actually Is You will split your focus between: - Business Associate (BA) initiatives – founder-facing positioning, communications, partnerships, curated events - Recruitment go-to-market support – messaging, role positioning, candidate-facing content, founder communication This is a dynamic, high-context environment. We expect comfort with ambiguity and fast-moving priorities. Hiring Process - Work Samples - Initial screening interview with recruiter - Test task - Deep-dive interview with leadership - Final culture conversation (short conversations with leadership team members) We maintain a high bar and optimize for long-term fit over speed. We prioritize personality, judgment, and ownership. Why A-Players - We’re a profitable, growing company with $1M+ ARR. - We work only with impact-driven tech startups and VCs. - Our core values are Empathy and Excellence.

If you’re looking for narrow tasks or heavy hand-holding — this is not the right role. Originally posted on Himalayas
