Founding Growth

‍In a nutshell: Full-time remote US role. We're building our growth team on the East Coast but will consider exceptional EU candidates.
‍

🍿 We are Popcorn

• Global connectivity with no roaming fees. We’re rebuilding telco from the ground up with a single global phone plan that just works.
• AI at the core. Imagine a telco where AI screens calls, takes notes, or books restaurants for you. It’s what we’re building.
• Momentum speaks volumes. Thousands of customers already rely on Popcorn, and we’re seeing extraordinary traction and growth.
• Raised millions in funding. Supported by investors behind leading consumer and AI companies such as Lovable, Superpower, Bland and Revolut.
• Experienced team with bold ambitions. We’ve previously built consumer products used by 100,000+ people. We’re just getting started here.

🦜 The Role

We're looking for a Founding Growth hire to architect how Popcorn scales. Not someone who's memorised startup playbooks. Someone who can think on their feet, experiment fast, and iterate quickly.
‍

You'll work directly with Neel (Founder/CEO) and have a front-row seat to building a category defining consumer AI-native company from the earliest stages. You'll wear many hats. And that's the point.
‍

🎪 Your mission

• Own Popcorn's growth strategy end-to-end from acquisition, activation, retention
• Build and execute our content and social presence across Instagram, Reddit, X, YouTube, TikTok and LinkedIn
• Use AI tools aggressively in your own workflow from ad creative, copy iteration, audience research, analytics
• Source, manage, and scale creator and influencer partnerships by finding people who actually live the expat/nomad/frequent traveler life and can speak to it authentically
• Own our organic discoverability across AI-powered search so Popcorn shows up wherever people are asking for recommendations
• Create content yourself when as needed, you're not above shooting a video or writing a tweet
• Build referral, community and affiliate programs that turn users into evangelists
• Study the data obsessively (CAC, LTV, cohort retention, channel attribution) and let it drive decisions
• Work closely with Product and Engineering to close the loop between growth insights and product improvements
  ‍

🔍 What we’re looking for

• 2–5+ years in growth or marketing at a product-led company
• You've scaled something be it an audience, a channel or a user base, and can point to the numbers
• Strong content instincts. You know what makes a hook land, why some posts travel and others don't, and you can write copy that sounds human
• Comfortable running paid campaigns or collaborating with a paid specialist
• Builder mentality who would rather ship something imperfect today than plan something perfect next quarter
• Experience at an early-stage or fast-growing startup where you had to figure it out, not just execute a playbook
• Bonus: you've lived abroad, you've dealt with roaming hell or you just instinctively get why this product matters
  ‍

⭐ The perks

• As an early employee, you'll have real autonomy and ownership over one of Popcorn's most important functions
• Fully flexible remote setup, you can work from anywhere or our NYC office
• Regular team meetups, hackathons and offsites to stay connected
• Your choice of laptop, tools, and desk setup
• And of course, a virtually endless supply of popcorn!
