Marketing Lead
The Opportunity
A parent drops their child off at university and drives home with one question looping in their
mind: Is she safe?
Today, no single app answers that completely. One shows location. Another tracks flights. A
third sends campus alerts. None of them talk to each other. None of them have an AI that
understands the family.
Life360 built a massive business solving one piece of that — family location. Google Travel has
hundreds of millions of users and has never touched family safety. The market between them is
worth over $20 billion, and no one owns it.
Tripzi is building the platform that will.
Real-time family location, live flight monitoring, AI-powered campus safety alerts, proactive AI
family briefings, and full trip planning — one app, one experience, one AI assistant that
understands your whole family.
The product is live and in production. Real families are using it today. This is the first marketing
hire. You will work directly with the founder to define how the world discovers Tripzi.

Who We're Looking For
You don’t need a decade of experience — you need to have built real things and grown real
audiences.
Core Requirements
· 1–3 years in marketing, growth, or content for a consumer product (app, brand, or platform)
· Experience running or contributing to a community that actually grew (Reddit, TikTok,
Discord, Facebook Groups)
· Strong writing ability across different audiences — a worried parent reads differently than a
frequent traveler· Fluent with AI tools for content, creative, and research
· Data-driven instincts — you set targets, track honestly, and adjust quickly
· Hunger to own decisions, not just execute tasks
Bonus Experience
· Grew a TikTok or Instagram account in parenting, family, or travel
· Experience with App Store Optimization
· Ran any kind of product or app launch (even a side project)
· Relationships with micro-influencers (10K–200K followers) in parenting or travel
What This Is Not
· A role where you wait for a creative brief
· A role where someone else sets the strategy
· A role that requires a team before you can start
What You Get
· 1.5–2.5% equity (4-year vesting, 1-year cliff), granted before funding closes
· Deferred cash compensation until funding or revenue launch
· Direct daily collaboration with the founder
· A true founding team position — not employee #12
· Ownership of the story families will hear firstHow to Apply
