What does working at GAN look like?

Creating a culture of happy colleagues is part of GAN’s DNA. We want our team to love what they are doing while working at a place that is growing and moving quickly. Benefits at GAN are a reflection of what matters most: You. We hire based on values and entrepreneurial spirit. Because of this, we have a smart team who has fun, cares for one another, and gets a lot done. You will be joining a team of hard-working, happy, and humble people.

What is GAN?

GAN is a highly-curated community of independent accelerators, partners, and investors. We’re obsessed with helping startups all over the world succeed, which is why GAN’s mission is to give startups the power to create and grow their businesses, wherever they are. Our community has helped more than 10,600 companies receive over $5.3B USD in funding and create more than 26,700 jobs globally.

We got started in 2010 when Brad Feld and David Cohen—the two co-founders of Techstars—had the idea to connect the top mentorship-driven, seed-stage accelerators around the world. Alongside the White House’s Startup America Initiative, GAN was launched to align those accelerators and create a community and model for their success. Today, GAN is an independently-operated organization and we have more than 100 accelerators in our community, running programs in 120+ cities all over the world. GAN Ventures is our investment arm, making seed-stage investments in startups across the globe. We have built a parallel community of engaged corporate partners that are seeking to build meaningful relationships with GAN Startups everywhere. And most recently, we have started working with startup studios: the Global Startup Studio Network (GSSN) is a growing community of Startup Studios that spans four continents.

What are GAN’s Values?

• Humanity: Create environments where people are empowered to fulfill who they set out to be.
• Service: Exhibit a level of selflessness that makes people question our sainthood.
• Integrity: Deliver what we say we’ll deliver, and be honest early and often when we face challenges.
• Action: Get stuff done. Continually grow and evolve based on the needs of our community, and work to proactively know those needs.
• Celebration: Pop a cork when people reach greater heights. Getting stuff done doesn't mean you have to be boring.
• Drive: A deep determination to do whatever is appropriately necessary to support our clients, colleagues, and ourselves.

Overview of GAN’s Marketing Coordinator

The Marketing Coordinator will be part of a small-but-mighty team supporting our mission and value proposition to a diverse global audience.

Your responsibilities will be to organize, implement and manage engaging marketing campaigns on varied mediums, such as email, blog articles, and social media platforms. You’ll help our team publish white papers, industry articles, playbooks, and retros of events, webinars, and podcasts. You'll help cultivate a brand voice that aligns with each of our communities needs.

The Marketing Coordinator is humble enough to execute all the minor details needed to get things done and can step into content productions with intention and strategy.

In short, this role will primarily support our marketing team and play a secondary role supporting our CS team. The distinction here is important because we externalize communications to three distinct audiences and need someone who can easily move between messaging for each group.

This role will support the marketing effort at GAN to reach different communities and support them with the information they need.

Core Responsibilities

• Supporting the Growth Marketing Manager (his name is Marty)
• Produce event invites, newsletters, presentation content (decks), trend reports, tweets, and web copy
• You write clean, concise, well-polished copy
• Stay up-to-date with the latest industry trends and customer challenges
• Interact with subject matter experts, designers, and internal team members to create, review all content and ensure a consistent message
• Work in Hubspot to create a content calendar and release external communications

Qualifications

• A damn good proofreader and copyeditor
• Ability to hit deadlines and prioritize projects without a lot of supervision
• Confidence talking with partners and subject matter experts
• Contribute to content guidelines, develop content calendars, and evolve our voice and tone
• A desire to connect deeply with founders and the accelerators that support them across the globe to create materials that inspire, understand and celebrate entrepreneurs as they create businesses

Bonus Points

• High EQ and a sense of humor (we’re fun!)
• Some basic design chops and website management experience
• You have experience in the startup world and on cross-functional teams
• You have international experience and wouldn’t mind doing some travel, including overseas

To Apply

Please send your resume and LinkedIn profile to [email protected]. Instead of a traditional cover letter, we ask that you:

• First, find a typo on our website (we hid one and there are probably more) then send us a link to the page.
• Second, tell us about an experience with a startup or founder that mattered to you.
• Third, send us something recent from your portfolio of work.
• Fourth, what makes you unique in 150 characters or less?

Candidates with incomplete applications won’t be considered for this role.

GAN Benefits Overview

Great insurance: A top-tier insurance plan where the company pays for 100% of your health, vision and dental plan along with a Flexible Spending Account where you can set aside pre-tax money for out-of-pocket medical expenses.

Cell Phone, Parking, & Public Transportation Reimbursement: We’ll reimburse you for your cell phone, and any parking or public transportation-related costs (paying for an EcoPass).

Snacks: We’ll pay for coffee and snacks from any coffee shop while you are working.

Matching Donations: When you donate money to a qualified charity, GAN will make a matching gift to that charity on your behalf, up to $500.

Fitness Allowance: Use up to a $50 per month fitness allowance for your gym membership, yoga studio membership, or whatever activity you do to stay healthy.

We don’t want people working more than 40 hours a week in any sustained fashion. In a crisis or if we have a big project, we may require very short-term, extended hours, but otherwise, we strongly encourage working 40 hours a week and getting eight hours of sleep a night.

Your Compensation:

Total compensation for this role is between $55,000 and $75,000 based on experience and is made up of a base salary and bonus. We’ll discuss this more with you early on as we begin the interview process.
