Director Of Marketing

Haste is a new kind of dating app that focuses on results rather than wasting time. Our mission is clear - make matches meeting in person the norm, not the exception. This is a role that offers a large amount of equity in exchange for your time. With thousands of early users and launches on both app stores, we’re growing fast and ready to invest in our brand and user acquisition.

We’re looking for a strategic, creative, and gritty Marketing Lead to join our founding team. You’ll own the growth engine: building our brand, launching viral campaigns, managing influencer relationships, and scaling our user base. This is a role for a doer, someone who thrives in chaos, moves fast, and wants to build a household name.

Why Join Us:

• Founding equity in a fast-scaling startup
• A real chance to build a consumer brand from the ground up
• Flexibility, autonomy, and direct access to the product and founding team
• A product that already has traction, but hasn’t yet hit its marketing stride

What You’ll Do:

• Own Growth: Design and execute scrappy, high-impact user acquisition strategies across digital, social media, campus/community marketing, and more
• Build the Brand: Develop a bold, authentic voice and identity that sets Haste apart in the dating space
• Lead Campaigns: Run marketing experiments across social, paid, content, partnerships, and events, whatever works
• Create Content: Work with creators or produce social-first content that makes people stop scrolling
• Manage Retention: Work with product and data to improve onboarding, engagement, and viral loops
• Drive Press & Influencer Buzz: Get people talking, in media, on campus, and across TikTok
• Measure What Matters: Track growth KPIs and optimize relentlessly based on data and feedback

You Might Be a Fit If You:

• Have 3–6 years of marketing experience, ideally in a startup or social app environment
• Have launched or grown a consumer brand, app, or community
• Are a creative thinker with strong execution skills, you make things happen fast
• Understand the Toronto scene (events, creators, youth culture, etc.)
• Are comfortable wearing many hats and doing hands-on work
• Love marketing but are obsessed with results, not just vibes
• Are energized by the chaos and freedom of startup life

Bonus if you’ve worked in dating, social, Gen Z marketing, nightlife, or event-based growth.

What You’ll Get:

• A meaningful equity stake, we’re not offering token equity, this is a real founding team position
• Flexible schedule, hybrid work (Downtown Toronto preferred)
• A blank canvas to build something impactful
• A team that moves quickly and wants to win

Job Type: Part-time

Pay: From $1.00 per year

Application question(s):

• This is a founding equity role in a fast-growing app with thousands of early users. We’re not just looking for a marketer, we want a competitor, a builder, someone obsessed with winning. If you’ve got the vision, fire, and grit to help turn Haste into the next big thing in connecting people, tell us: Why are you the one?

Also include links to social media accounts you've grown, or links to your previous work. (if you use chat GPT to generate your answer, you're automatically disqualified)
