The position is based in the US, reports to the Head of Marketing, and works closely day to day with Jeremy and Gabriel in a small, fast-moving, early-stage company.

• Humble, team-oriented attitude, with a bias toward action and willingness to do what is necessary to help the broader team succeed.
