Rakou is building golf for the rest of your week.

We’re a golf lifestyle brand connecting the digital and IRL sides of the game. Our app turns golf practice into a game through missions, progress, rewards and competition, giving people a reason to stay connected to golf even when they’re not at the course.

Think new golf culture, with a game at the center of it.

We’re looking for someone to help figure out how Rakou grows from the beginning.

What you'd own

You’ll own our early growth across content, creators, community, partnerships and launches.

Find and work with golf creators
Create and test content across social
Build relationships with golf communities, ranges, clubs and brands
Come up with growth experiments and run them
Help turn early users into an active community
Work closely on activation and retention
Figure out what works and what we should double down on

There’s no existing marketing team or playbook. You’ll help build both.

You might be a good fit if

You've grown something before: an audience, community, account, app, brand or project
You understand creators and internet culture
You can make things yourself instead of waiting for a team or agency
You have strong creative taste
You like experimenting, moving quickly and figuring things out as you go
You're interested in some combination of golf, gaming, consumer apps, culture or creator businesses

You don’t need years of traditional marketing experience, and you don’t need to be a great golfer.

We care much more about what you’ve actually built, made or grown.

The role

2–10% equity depending on experience, commitment and fit
Equity only until we raise
Flexible commitment to start, with the goal of becoming full time
Fully remote, you can be based anywhere
A lot of ownership and freedom from day one

Rakou is a Delaware C-Corp and our primary market is the US. You can be based anywhere, but you should understand the audience we’re building for and be comfortable working across time zones when needed.

To apply

Send us:

One thing you've grown and what you did to grow it
One thing you'd change about how Rakou presents itself today
One thing you'd try to get more people using Rakou
The app is free, so try it first.

That will probably tell both of us whether this is your kind of thing.
