About The Position

Checkmate is a multichannel offers network loved by 100M shoppers and hundreds of leading brands. mate. is your AI growth teammate, the eCommerce data network that agentically turns customer intelligence into revenue. mate finds it, Checkmate goes and gets it. Checkmate is the distribution network, with 100M+ shoppers and 12B+ live intent signals. mate is the AI layer built on top of it: it resolves anonymous visitors, spots the revenue a brand is missing, and builds and executes the campaigns to capture it. The combination is rare: a consumer product shoppers love and an AI growth engine brands depend on. We work with leading brands like Everlane, Brooklinen, and Malbon, and we're backed by Google Ventures, Mantis VS, Fuel Capital, and others. We're a remote-first team with hubs in LA and NYC, and a preference for hiring in or near major cities. This role is responsible for owning how Checkmate and mate show up in the world, encompassing consumer social, community, creators, events, and written content. The individual will be responsible for shooting, editing, writing, posting, and attending events. This is a builder role, not a briefing role. Checkmate is the consumer side and distribution network with over 100M shoppers and 12B+ live shopping intent signals, reaching consumers through its app, email, SMS, and push notifications. mate is the B2B side, an AI growth teammate for eCommerce brands, identifying and reaching shoppers, and building/running conversion campaigns for over 600 brands. This role spans both brands, managing Checkmate's consumer-facing social media with 1.5M followers and developing mate's B2B voice and marketing presence.
