The role - Founding GTM Lead, Creator Marketplace
Creators are our customers. You'll own our creator marketplace end to end: getting creators onboarded, actively earning, and retained. It's a founding-team-level seat reporting directly to the Founder/CEO, and you'll build the motion from the ground up.
What you'll own
- Creator activation - the share of onboarded creators who actively earn
- Creator earnings - real, recurring income per active creator
- Retention - creators still earning at 3 and 6 months
What we're looking for
- Proven supply-side growth on a two-sided marketplace (creators, sellers, hosts or partners) - you've taken a supply base from onboarded → actively earning → retained, with the numbers to show it
- A monetisation builder - you've designed how supply earns (services, storefronts, revenue share, commerce), not just managed relationships or brokered brand deals
- Fluent in cohort economics - activation, earnings per head, retention, CAC
- Cold-start experience - you've bootstrapped marketplace liquidity from near-zero, not only scaled an established base
- A 0→1 operator who wants deep ownership and equity upside over a big team
- Bonus (valued, not required): travel and/or creator-economy background and network
Location & reporting
Remote within India, with occasional travel. Reports directly to the Founder/CEO.
Compensation & perks
- Cash: Competitive for an early-stage startup
- Meaningful founding-level equity - this is a founding-team seat and is weighted accordingly
- Remote-first flexibility and direct, daily work with the founders
- High autonomy over a core company bet, with a fast path to building and leading a team

1. Apply with proof, not a CV (see below)
2. Intro conversation with the founder

5. Offer
How to apply
Skip the generic CV.
Send
1. One supply cohort you took from onboarded → earning → retained - the real numbers and the 2–3 levers you pulled; and
2. One thing you tried that didn't work and what you learned.
