About NuMarket

Food & drink businesses make our lives and communities vibrant, strong and sustainable. Everyone has a restaurant, café, snack brand or wine shop they can’t live without. NuMarket is a unique crowdfunding model that helps those businesses raise funds from their community of believers in exchange for credits that are delivered in installments to funders. We are focused on financial inclusion and building a model of mutual value for our customers.

Our small team is remote-first and driven by the purpose of our work and each other. Our workplace is flexible, collaborative, and self-starting. We believe everyone should have the opportunity to do meaningful work alongside a thriving personal life. We want to build a team that allows you to grow your craft, be creative, and build thoughtfully.

The role

We’re looking for a growth leader to help NuMarket launch more campaigns for more food & drink entrepreneurs. We need someone with a 0-1 mentality to help us take our first year’s efforts to a new level.

You will:

Design and execute experiments to drive NuMarket’s growth
Direct our brand’s voice and positioning
Iterate on our existing playbook for platform growth and campaign success
Find opportunities where we don’t currently see them

You’ll achieve the following results in the first 6 months:

Supply growth: you’ll find and launch 20+ great businesses
Demand growth: you’ll add at least 3K new funders to the platform
New markets: help us launch in NYC, LA, and at least one other major city
Growth funnel: add 100+ growth ambassadors

We’re a small, independent, close-knit team with each person owning multiple “lanes” within the business. As our first growth hire, you’ll be a leader and a voice for what business development looks like at NuMarket.

About you

At your core, you enjoy solving interesting problems and doing worthwhile work. You love the best food spots and are drawn to independent brands and people who make our lives more vibrant. You equally enjoy working on strategic & creative problems and have a focus on customer needs, and you have experience leading teams and growing brands.

You identify with the following:

Hyper creative
Self-starting: you have experience working & communicating asynchronously
Thrive with autonomy, comfortable with ambiguity
Enjoy looking at “the way things are done” and finding better ways
Seek leadership opportunities
Enjoy taking ideas from 0 to 1, or from no roadmap to success
Ruthlessly empathetic

You can be based anywhere and in any timezone, but should expect to have significant face time with customers online and in-person.

Our approach to growth

We’re growing NuMarket non-traditionally. We don’t use paid media channels or paid advertising. We believe in the strength of our model, product, and community, allowing us to focus on intrinsic motivators and sustainable growth.

With no outside investors, we are extremely independent and driven by impact and revenue growth. We’re focused on serving each other and the communities we engage with every day. We see opportunity everywhere and value thoughtful experimentation, regardless of outcomes.
