Marketing Co Founder (equity based)

Company Description Arclent is building the trust infrastructure the creator economy was never given. We're a two-sided hiring platform connecting creator-economy talent (editors, thumbnail designers, ghostwriters, and more) with recruiters, individual creators and companies hiring for content roles.

Our core differentiator: a peer-confirmed verification system that turns unverifiable I edited for this channel claims into trusted, confirmed credentials. No resume theater. No unverifiable portfolios. Work claims get confirmed by the people who were actually there.

We're live, bootstrapped, and running concierge-style recruiter acquisition in a focused niche (small-to-mid YouTube creators) before we scale wider.

Role Description A co-founder to own marketing and growth — someone who can build and run Arclent's public presence, not just advise on it.

This is a founder role, not a marketing-hire-with-equity role. You'll have real ownership over how Arclent is perceived, how talent and recruiters discover us, and how we tell our story publicly.

What You'd Own

• Arclent's presence across X, Instagram, LinkedIn, and wherever else the creator economy actually lives
• Content strategy that speaks to both sides of the marketplace — talent looking for verified opportunities, and recruiters looking for vetted people
• Organic growth loops: the kind of build-in-public, community-driven traction that doesn't depend on ad spend
• Positioning and narrative — translating what Arclent actually does (and what makes the verification mechanic different) into copy and content that lands, without overclaiming what the product does
• Owning the GTM conversation alongside the founder, particularly around closing the recruiter-side demand gap

What we need from you A genuine, demonstrated social media presence, not just marketing skills in the abstract, but an existing audience or a track record of building one from nothing

Comfort operating in the creator economy space itself, you understand what resonates with creators and the people who work for them, because you're plugged into that world

Willingness to build in public: this is how Arclent has grown talent supply so far, and it's core to how we'll keep growing

Founder-level commitment, this isn't a contract gig. You're in it for the build, not a single campaign

What this isn't

• Not a role where you run someone else's campaign brief, you're setting the strategy
• Not paid work at this stage, this is an equity-based co-founder position, vesting over time
• Not a growth hacker role focused purely on paid acquisition, Arclent's growth to date has been organic and community-led, and that's the muscle we need more of

The Deal

Equity-based, subject to a standard vesting schedule (typically 4 years with a 1-year cliff). Exact percentage is a conversation based on what you bring existing audience size and engagement, scope of ownership, and time commitment all factor in.
