Founding Marketer

http : / / ritually.life /

The Opportunity

Most spiritual apps are either too religious, too "woo-woo" (crystals and toxic positivity), or just glorified sleep aids.

We are building Ritually : "A Personalized Spirituality Operating System" for the modern, skeptical, and burned-out generation. We are unbundling faith into micro-rituals (60-120 seconds) for grounding, clarity, and purpose.

You will be partnering directly with a technical founder (IIT Delhi, Ex-Goldman, 2x Exits) who is fully funding the runway. You own the story; I build the product.

The Role

We don't need a "Social Media Manager." We need a Growth Engine . You will solve the "Cold Start Problem" for a consumer app in a crowded market. You are the bridge between a $2.16 Billion market opportunity and a product designed to solve the "loneliness epidemic".

What you will actually do :

Own the "Vibe" : Define the brand voice. It shouldn't sound like a "guru" or a "medical clinic." It needs to sound like a wise friend.

The "Trojan Horse" Strategy : Launch and market our "Ritual Generator" web tool to capture our first 10,000 emails before the app even launches.

Short-Form Domination : Own the content strategy for Reels / TikTok. Not "ads," but viral micro-rituals that provide value in 15 seconds.

Community Architecture : Build the "Sacred Spaces" —a digital community for the "Spiritual But Not Religious" demographic who feel isolated.

Frugal User Acquisition : Experiment with ASO (App Store Optimization), influencer seeding, and micro-budget paid ads to find a CAC (Customer Acquisition Cost) that works.

This is zero-to-one growth , not brand management.

Who You Are

You are a Storyteller with a Spreadsheet : You can write a tear-jerking script for a Reel, but you also obsess over retention cohorts and conversion rates.

You "Get" the Space : You understand why Gen Z is abandoning religion but obsessing over "rituals". You know the difference between "Mindfulness" and "Spirituality."

You Hate "Toxic Positivity" : You understand that real growth involves shadow work, not just "good vibes only".

You are a Zero-to-One Builder : You have likely grown a community from 0 to 10k before, or you’ve been a key early hire at a D2C / App startup.

Why Join?

No VCs, No Noise : We are self-funded (bootstrapped) with a 2-year runway committed. We answer to users, not investors.

Product-Market Fit : You are selling into a massive "unmet need." 90% of meditation app users churn because the apps are too long. We are selling the solution : Micro-practices.

High Upside : This is a founding role with real equity. If we hit our goals, you win big.

“Headspace and Calm are saturated.

How would you market a 60-second ‘Micro-Ritual’ app to a stressed 25-year-old using only organic content?

Give me one specific content idea.”
