About The Position

This is a hands-on marketing generalist role at a small, founder-led consumer brand based in Austin, Texas, selling tobacco-free nicotine pouches direct-to-consumer in the UK. Since major advertising platforms prohibit nicotine advertising, the role focuses on building and connecting organic, owned, retention, referral, retail, partnership, and field-marketing channels without paid social or paid search. The position combines practical marketing execution with using AI tools and automation to connect systems, clean lists, and reduce repetitive manual work. The Marketing Coordinator works directly with the two founders and collaborates with sales, field, and partnerships teams, with substantial ownership and visibility. Marketing must comply with category restrictions: no health, quit-smoking, or performance claims; marketing must be limited to adults aged 18 and older and to the UK. Success includes establishing a largely self-running retail and partner outreach process, equipping the field team and improving its results, building steady growth through search, email, retention, and referral programs, and producing reliable metrics from company data. The role is based in Austin, Texas, or remote with 9–5 Central Time overlap. Compensation depends on experience and location. The interview process includes an application note about a Claude Code build, a 30-minute screening call, a paid exercise of about three hours, and a working session with a founder.
