Founder Brand & Growth Associate

Most marketing roles feel like execution.

This isn’t one of them.

At Acquire, you’ll work directly with the Founder to help build a modern, founder-led recruitment brand operating at the intersection of content, growth, media, community and commercial strategy.

You’ll help shape how ambitious consumer and DTC brands see us in the market — and play a genuine role in growing the business.

If you’re someone who:
lives on LinkedIn, podcasts, YouTube or modern creator-led media,
experiments with AI tools for fun,
has strong taste in content and branding,
and wants to build something meaningful rather than sit inside a corporate marketing team…
…this role is probably for you.

About Acquire
Acquire is a modern talent partner for scaling DTC and consumer brands.

We started with a strong focus on Growth & Marketing — helping brands hire exceptional talent across Performance Marketing, CRM, Ecommerce and Digital Growth.

As our partners scale, we increasingly support wider commercial and operational hiring across:
Brand & Creative
Product & CX
Data & Analytics
Tech & Engineering
Operations, Supply Chain & People

Our ambition is to become the go-to talent partner for high-growth consumer brands as they scale from growth-stage challengers into category leaders.

We’re building a modern recruitment business with a strong founder brand, high-quality content, deep market expertise and a long-term ambition to become one of the leading talent partners in the consumer brand ecosystem.

We’re now looking for someone ambitious, creative and commercially curious to help build that next stage.

What You’ll Actually Be Doing
This is a highly hands-on role where no two weeks look the same.

You’ll sit at the centre of Acquire’s content, audience growth and brand activity — helping turn ideas, conversations and market insight into engaging content and commercial growth initiatives.

You’ll work directly with the Founder across:
LinkedIn content
newsletters
podcasts & short-form video
market reports
outbound campaigns
events
founder marketing
client brand initiatives
AI-powered content workflows

One day you might be turning a founder conversation into a high-performing LinkedIn post.

The next, you could be building an AI-assisted content system, editing podcast clips, helping launch a market report or researching trends across the DTC ecosystem.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys moving quickly, trying ideas and building in public.

What You’ll Get
Direct Access & Mentorship
You’ll work directly with the Founder from day one — learning how a modern, founder-led business is built across brand, sales, marketing and growth.

Real Ownership
You won’t be “supporting the marketing team.”
You’ll have genuine input into content, brand positioning, growth ideas and business-building initiatives.

Build a Personal Skill Stack Fast
You’ll gain hands-on experience across:
content creation
audience growth
AI workflows
branding
founder marketing
B2B growth
media
recruitment
commercial strategy

Creative Freedom
We care about output and ideas — not corporate process.
If you have strong instincts and good ideas, you’ll be encouraged to test them.

Opportunity to Grow With the Business
As Acquire scales, there will be significant opportunity for progression, increased responsibility and role evolution.

We Think You’ll Be A Great Fit If…
You’re proactive, ambitious and naturally curious.

You probably consume a lot of modern business, creator or startup content already — and understand what good content feels like.

You might come from:
content marketing
creator/media
social content
startup marketing
freelance creative work
growth marketing
a founder-led business
or something completely unconventional.
We care far more about mindset, creativity and commercial instinct than a perfect CV.

You Should Ideally:
Be highly proactive and self-starting
Have strong written communication skills
Understand social media and modern B2B content
Have a strong eye for branding, storytelling and content quality
Be excited by AI tools and modern workflows
Enjoy moving quickly and experimenting with ideas
Be commercially curious and interested in business growth

Bonus Points If You:
Use tools like Canva, CapCut, Riverside or Adobe Express
Have experience creating LinkedIn content
Can edit short-form video
Use tools like ChatGPT or Claude regularly
Have an interest in ecommerce, DTC or consumer brands
Follow founders, operators or creator-led businesses online

Compensation
£30,000–£35,000 depending on experience
Performance bonus linked to company growth
Hybrid working
Long-term progression opportunity

Why This Role Is Different
Most early-career marketing roles give you narrow responsibilities and limited exposure.

This role gives you a front-row seat to building a modern business and founder brand from the inside.

If you’re ambitious, creative and excited by the future of content, AI and founder-led growth — we’d love to hear from you.
