About Unfound
Unfound is an independent online marketplace built to help emerging brands, artists, designers, and creators showcase and sell their original work.

Position Overview
Unfound is looking for a hands-on Founding Growth & Creator Community Manager to help grow our community of sellers and customers.

The ideal candidate is creative, organized, comfortable working independently, and genuinely interested in independent brands and artwork.

- Feature seller stories, products, artwork, and behind-the-scenes content
- Write seller outreach emails, promotional copy, and social media captions
- Develop campaigns that attract both creators and shoppers
- Assist with small events, partnerships, pop-ups, or creator collaborations
- Track seller signups, first-product uploads, engagement, traffic, and sales
- Test new growth ideas and report what is producing measurable results
- Work directly with the founder to shape Unfound’s early marketing strategy
Qualifications
- Experience in marketing, community building, social media, creator partnerships, e-commerce, or a related field
- Strong written and verbal communication skills
- Comfortable reaching out to people and building new relationships
- Ability to create engaging social media and email content

- Able to manage projects independently in an early-stage environment
- Familiarity with Instagram, TikTok, Canva, email marketing, and basic analytics
- Genuine interest in independent brands, art, fashion, design, or handmade products
- Comfortable experimenting, learning quickly, and taking ownership of results
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience working with a marketplace, startup, small business, or creative community
- Existing connections with artists, designers, brands, or local creative organizations
- Basic photography, short-form video, or content-editing skills
- Experience with seller onboarding or customer success
- Familiarity with paid social advertising
- Experience organizing events, pop-ups, or creator partnerships
