We're hiring a Marketing Strategy Associate to work directly with the founder on research, go-to-market planning and marketing content for TheMindRise.ai and its flagship product, Dhiti.ai.

The roleYou will be the founder's right hand on marketing: researching what works, turning findings into rollout plans, and producing the content that carries those plans to market.
