You might be a creator, culture obsessive, fashion person, meme lord, strategist, art director, community builder, or someone who has been secretly running a brand's entire social presence from their Notes app. What you'd be doing Helping us build Made of Sugar's social presence from the ground up. Think: -Content ideas + concepts -TikTok / Reels / Instagram -Trend spotting -Community building -Internet culture -Founder-led content -Campaign ideas -Memes + cultural moments -Finding weird/fun ways to talk about cycling -Helping define what Made of Sugar sounds and feels like online We're currently raising, so we aren't in a position to offer the traditional salary just yet. Instead, we're looking for someone who wants to get in early and build with us. Compensation would be structured as deferred salary, to be paid once we close our raise. We're looking for someone who is excited about the opportunity and wants to grow with the brand, not someone looking for a temporary unpaid internship. This is a chance to get in very early and have a real hand in shaping how the brand shows up online. Amsterdam-based is a huge plus, but we're open to the right person wherever they are. If this sounds like you, DM me with your portfolio/socials and a little bit about yourself. Don't send me a corporate cover letter. I want to see what you think is cool.
