Tellwise is for individuals and freelancers with variable income, the people overdraft fees hit hardest. Our best users found us the week after a fee they did not see coming.

You would be the first growth hire and you would define the motion, working directly with the CEO.

What you would own

  • Own acquisition end to end, from the first experiment to a channel that repeats.
  • Work with the founders on positioning, packaging and which audience to reach next.
  • Bring the objections back. What people say when they do not convert is the roadmap.
  • Build the playbook the next hires will use.

What we are looking for

  • Three or more years in consumer or prosumer growth, with results you can point to.
  • You are comfortable being the only growth person in the building.
  • You can explain a forecast to a freelancer without condescending.
  • You want equity to matter more than base.

How hiring runs

A thirty-minute call with a founder, then a paid work session on a real problem from our backlog (three to four hours), then two conversations with people you would work alongside. Four steps, usually inside two weeks. We tell you where you stand at every one, and we reply either way.
