Found, don't follow
We are looking for an exceptional individual based in the US or the UK to become an important part of our small, yet audacious Marketing team based across EF’s sites.
The Marketing team at EF exists to demonstrate that, for the world’s most exceptional and ambitious young technologists;
- Founding is an impactful and important career path
- EF is the best place in the world to start your founding journey
The team strives to build a brand which is magnetic to, and trusted by, the world’s most exceptional and ambitious young technologists. They do this through centrally driven channels (i.e. our website and social media) and campaigns, and by empowering team members across all functions and sites to leverage and build the brand attractively and effectively in their everyday work.
Key Responsibilities
- Collaborate with the Talent Investors in EF’s sites (Bangalore, London, Paris & the US) to create marketing plans for key moments in the EF calendar such as Demo Day. Create, curate and deliver global brand campaigns, for example, our headline campaigns in H1 2024 are focused on How to be a Founder, the book co-authored by EF’s co-founders and the launch of our SF hub. It’s important that you’re able to collaborate effectively with the local sites to build the strategy as we believe that local insights should play a key role in driving global strategy. We know that our teams on the ground – our Talent Investors – have deep knowledge of our customers – what drives them, what they’re listening to, reading and thinking about – and it’s crucial these insights are baked into our global strategy.
- Set and execute a global social content strategy which will challenge exceptional young technologists to think beyond the status quo, make the first steps of the founder career path legible, while simultaneously positioning EF as the best place in the world to start the founding journey. Partner with local Talent Investors to develop insights into our audience at different stages of their careers, and craft differentiated narratives for the launch of new products and events. You’ll own the execution of this strategy across EF’s social media channels (Twitter/X, Instagram & LinkedIn).
- Work alongside our Marketing team to ensure that Talent Investors in every EF site are equipped to be effective field marketers of EF, empowering them to effectively leverage and build the EF brand in every customer interaction. You will become one of our biggest brand advocates, and will work closely with all team members to enable them to be effective brand ambassadors.
- Work alongside the Product team to craft a differentiated and distinct narrative for the full customer journey through our programs worldwide, using EF’s brand and tone of voice to effectively position and define EF’s products and propositions. You will own the customer-facing communication and customer experience with local teams, understanding and mapping the landscape of competitive offerings and communications to bake these learnings into our narrative and propositions.

Your experience:
- 3-5 years marketing experience across content strategy, copywriting and social media strategy in a relevant/adjacent organization to EF (e.g. Series A-D startup and/or an organization with a similar target customer).
- Demonstrated experience working across geographies and cultures, effectively managing global messages with local nuance and targeting.
- Exceptional writing and editing skills, demonstrated by a portfolio across long and short-form content.
- Demonstrated end-to-end execution capabilities; you are able to take ideas from inception to results, navigating blockers and managing stakeholders effectively to deliver ambitious results at speed.

About Entrepreneur First
At Entrepreneur First, we believe that a small number of exceptional people will have an extraordinary impact by creating the technology companies which shape the future in ways we cannot yet imagine. We also believe that for many of these individuals, entrepreneurship is not an obvious or entirely legible career path.
We exist to identify, and amplify the impact of, these individuals. We do this via our unique approach to company creation, which sees us identify and work with outliers before they even know they’re outliers, right through to the day they prove it. We call this Talent Investing.
The startups cofounded on our programs are now worth over $10B, and include Tractable, Magic Pony Technology, Cleo, La Vie, Aztec, Sonantic, and many more.
EF is funded and backed by some of the world’s best founders and investors, including Patrick and John Collison (Stripe), Reid Hoffman (LinkedIn), Tom Blomfield (GoCardless and Monzo) and Demis Hassabis (Google Deepmind). Having raised our Series C round of investment at the end of 2021, we are well-capitalised out to 2026 and have ambitious plans to further scale our impact over the coming years.
