Ponder is a next-generation journaling and mindfulness app built for people going through real-life transitions, not just a blank page, but smart guidance, emotional insight, and daily reflection. After launching our 2.0 redesign and seeing strong traction, we’re ready to grow, and we’re looking for someone to own that growth.

We’re seeking a Head of Marketing to take charge of everything from paid ads to organic content, local events to influencer collaborations. If you’ve ever wanted to build the entire marketing engine from scratch, this is for you.

What you’ll own:

• Managing and optimizing paid ad campaigns (Meta, Google, TikTok, etc.)
• Creating or managing creation of content for ads and social (UGC, short-form, testimonials, etc.)
• Planning and scheduling IRL events and activations (wellness spaces, partnerships, co-hosted workshops)
  • Remote would coordinate events and make sure the necessary people are there to run and document the event
• Running our social channels (Instagram, TikTok, Threads) and engaging directly with our audience
• Building relationships with micro-influencers, creators, and press
• Driving collaborations with aligned brands and communities

What we’re offering:

• Equity-only for 3–6 months, until we complete our fundraising round
• Potential for a small monthly stipend during that period
• A budget to run and test marketing efforts (ads, content creation, etc.)
• Upon fundraising: full-time salary or ongoing contract

What This Is Not

• This is not a mentored role — we need someone who can run the entire marketing program themselves w/o a manager above them.
