Zozy · Part-time, ~10 hrs/week · $18-22/hr · Remote / US-only - Start ASAP

Why this role exists

This is an awesome opportunity to join as the FIRST marketing hire, at Zozy, an iOS app that tells shoppers whether something is a good deal before they buy it.

Your role will be mission critical, as the founder and founding engineer realize they aren’t the strongest when it comes to marketing and sales—they prefer to design a beautiful product, write code, and interact with our customers (we call them our Shoppers).

You’d be the "founding" marketing person, and if (and when) Zozy grows into a household brand, you can point to the pivotal impact you had at the ground-zero stage.

Wait, what is Zozy?

Snap a pic, know if it's a good deal.

Zozy is a shopping scanner for new and used items. Snap a pic of almost anything for sale and Zozy identifies it, estimates what it's worth, and gives you a clear verdict on the asking price.

Shoppers use it to do three things:

• Discover deals. Find items priced below what they're worth. Especially useful at thrift stores, estate sales, flea markets, antique stores, and resale shops.

• Avoid overpaying. Know whether the asking price is fair before you buy.

• See if they can get it for less. Compare live listings for exact or similar items elsewhere.

Over time, it also tracks what you buy, saves what you want, and helps you buy smarter through Inventory, Wishlist, and History.

No ads. No affiliate links. No commissions on anything you buy.

We make money through a paid annual subscription, which means we have no reason to ever tell you to buy something you shouldn't.

The team is two people. You’d be the third.

What you'll actually do

• Go shopping, on the clock, and film it. Thrift stores, estate sales, flea markets, resale shops, discount retailers. Scan items with Zozy, react to the verdict, make it worth watching.

• Ship 5 TikToks a week. Filmed in batches, edited on your phone. Roughly one store trip and a few editing sessions a week.

• Be the voice. On camera, or on mic, or both. This is a channel built around a real person: you.

• Own the calendar. Which stores, which items, which hooks, what's posting Tuesday.

• Answer comments and DMs daily.

• Remix to Instagram once TikTok is running steady. This is a nice-to-have after we've nailed the first channel.

• Bring back what you hear. Comments and DMs are the best product feedback we have.

What you own

• Your number is monthly TikTok views. That's the metric you control and the one that actually brings people to the app.

• Cadence: 5 posts a week. Views are what matters. Month one has no view target at all. We'll set one together after 30 days, once we can see what's working.

You'll be great at this if

• You already make short-form video and you're good at it

• You like talking to strangers and you don't embarrass easily

• You're organized enough to run a weekly batch and a calendar with nobody checking on you

• You raise your hand fast when something is unclear, and you'll push back on us when you disagree

• You can show your work and explain why you made a call

• You care about how things look. You'll have opinions about ours, and we want to hear them

• You use AI to move faster (captions, rough cuts, hook variants), but the ideas are yours. AI for efficiency, never for creativity.

• You thrift, you flip, you resell, or you have a secondhand side hustle

What’s in it for you

• Pay: $18-22/hr based on experience, ~10 hours a week, with room to expand as we see traction

• Where: remote, and you must be based in the United States. Austin or Tampa / St. Pete is a plus for in-person overlap with the founders, not a requirement

• Hours: yours to set. One weekly sync on Central time, everything else async. We care about outcomes, not optics

• Growth opportunity: there is a real path to full-time, and an equity conversation with it, once we've proven Shoppers will pay and the business is profitable

• You keep your work: you're welcome to cross-post anything you make for us to your own account
