Founding Growth & Marketing Partner

Company Description

MANNA – Recipes & Cooking is building a new home for food, recipes, and culinary creators.

The platform helps people turn food inspiration from Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and the web into recipes they can save, organize, and actually cook. Users can build personal recipe collections, discover new ideas, create menus, and use AI-powered tools designed around cooking and recipes.

MANNA is already live. Our longer-term vision is to build a social platform centered around food — connecting people, recipes, and culinary creators through what people actually want to cook, discover, and share.

We are now building the founding team that will help take the existing product into its next stage.

Role Description

We are looking for a Founding Growth & Marketing Partner to take ownership of how MANNA reaches users, creators, and new audiences.

The role combines growth thinking with hands-on execution. The goal is not simply to run marketing campaigns, but to help build repeatable growth channels around a consumer product and eventually a food-focused social platform.

The exact scope and level of involvement can evolve based on the right person and mutual fit.

Key areas of responsibility may include:

• Developing and testing user acquisition strategies
• Building and managing paid and organic growth channels
• Developing creator acquisition and engagement initiatives
• Building social media and community growth strategies
• Testing messaging, positioning, and creative concepts
• Measuring acquisition, retention, and engagement
• Identifying growth opportunities across the product and user journey
• Working closely with the founder on go-to-market strategy
• Helping develop scalable growth processes as the company expands
  

Qualifications

We are looking for someone with:

• Hands-on experience in growth, digital marketing, consumer marketing, social media, or user acquisition
• Strong understanding of consumer behavior and digital channels
• Ability to design, launch, measure, and improve growth experiments
• Comfort working with analytics and performance metrics
• Strong creative and communication skills
• Ability to operate independently and move quickly from idea to execution
• Comfort working in an early-stage startup environment
• Interest in food, creators, social platforms, consumer apps, or communities
• A high level of ownership and interest in building a company, not only managing campaigns

Experience with paid acquisition, creator marketing, social growth, community building, consumer apps, or international growth is an advantage, but not required.

Stage & Compensation

This is an early-stage founding-team opportunity.

There is currently no salary attached to the role. The position is equity-based, with meaningful equity and vesting structured according to the level of responsibility, commitment, and long-term involvement.
