Founding Growth Lead

Remote, anywhere in the world · 15 to 20 hours a week to start · Reports to the founders

We’re looking for the person who takes Nysa from two founders building in a room to an app real people use. This is a founding hire: you’ll define the growth function, not step into one that already exists.

Apply for this role

What you’d own

  • Building and running Nysa's launch and early acquisition strategy from scratch
  • Turning early user feedback into a repeatable, honest growth loop, not a vanity-metric one
  • Positioning and messaging across the app store, our waitlist, and early community channels
  • Defining the metrics that tell us whether people are finding real value in Nysa, not just downloading it

What we’re looking for

  • You've taken an early-stage consumer product from zero to real usage before
  • You're comfortable being the only growth person in the building, with no team to hand things off to yet
  • You write sharply and honestly. How we talk about self-understanding matters as much as how fast we grow
  • You're genuinely curious about the problem: helping people see themselves clearly, not just moving a funnel

The honest version of our stage

Nysa is pre-launch. The core product is in active build and we haven’t opened to users yet. Two founders are building full-time; you’d be the third person in the building, and the first one not writing code or designing the product.

This is early. If you need an established team and a settled process, it’s fair to wait for a later stage. If you’d rather help build that process from nothing, this is that role.

FAQ

Is this genuinely unpaid?

Yes, for now, and we'd rather you read that here than discover it on a call. There's no salary until we're funded or hit an agreed revenue milestone, and that trigger goes into the signed agreement before you start. What there is instead: founding equity of up to 5%, vesting over four years with a one-year cliff, and a capped share of net revenue from your first day.

Why ask for 15 to 20 hours a week instead of full time?

Because asking someone to give up a year of income on our conviction isn't a reasonable thing to ask, and the people who would say yes to it are usually not the people we want. Keep your job. Do this alongside it. It converts to full time with a salary when the money is there.

What happens if you never raise?

Then the revenue share is what you got, the equity converts to a stake in a small company that pays for itself or to nothing at all, and you keep everything you made. We'd tell you it wasn't working long before you worked it out yourself. That's the actual downside, and we're not going to describe it more gently than that.

Do I need to believe in astrology?

No, and a skeptic is arguably better at this. Nysa's positioning has to survive someone who does not buy any of it, which means the copy has to earn belief rather than assume it. Someone who needed convincing writes better for people who need convincing.

Where can I be based?

Anywhere in the world. We hire from any country and there is no timezone rule. What we do need is a few overlap hours a week with the founder, agreed with you rather than imposed on you; everything else here runs async and written. Tell us your timezone in your email and we will work out the window together.
