About OneText: Shop by Text

Sitting at the intersection of payments, AI, and marketing, OneText makes shopping as effortless as paying with your hotel room number. Shoppers literally reply and buy with one text. Fast-growing ecommerce brands use our text to buy payments and sales concierge to drive up to 30% more revenue. We replace conventional SMS marketing with two-way conversations that delight shoppers and inspire them to buy more.

We’re backed by rockstars including Y Combinator, Coatue, Citi Ventures, Khosla Ventures, the founders of Warby Parker, Allbirds and Harry’s and Matt Bellamy, the lead singer of Muse.

We're building a world-class team and we’re looking for part 🪄magician, part 📣 cheerleader, part 🏴‍☠️ pirate, part 🚀 astronaut to join as our founding growth marketer. If that’s you, reach out!

The Role:

As OneText’s founding Growth Marketer you’ll help OneText scale from hundreds of customers to thousands.

You Should Know:

This is the scariest role we’ll ever hire.

We’re proud to have scaled to millions in revenue and built relationships with top ecommerce brands like Caden Lane, Raycon, Create and Firebelly Tea.

We’ve been praised on Twitter by Native founder Moiz Ali, been featured in articles and one book, turned skeptics into advocates, and triggered the panic of competitors an order of magnitude larger than us who rightfully view us an existential threat.

And we’ve done it all without ANY marketing.

It’s time to change that.

But there’s a problem. For every other role at OneText, from engineering to shopper customer support, my cofounder (Daniel) or I (Jonathan) did the job first. We hacked out the basics and handed something to the first hire when it got too big for us to keep doing. But marketing isn’t like that. You will truly be the first person at OneText to lead marketing, demand generation and brand awareness. This is probably the only role we’ll ever hire without some kind of playbook. As a result, you need to be great, self-directed, prepared to present and defend your own strategies, and ruthless about marketing efficiency.

Key Responsibilities

• 📈 Marketing strategy to scale OneText from several hundred to tens of thousands of brands
• 💰 Hold a marketing budget and an aggressive goal and stay accountable to it

• 💼 Agencies / Consultants: Help us hire the best specialists to execute fast and on budget
