MARCO

Growth Marketing Fellow

Part-time, paid | flexible hours | Independent contractor (1099) | First Coast, FL

Help Build What Local Looks Like Next

Marco is a fast-growing digital marketplace startup connecting local artists, small businesses, and neighbors across the First Coast.

We’re building our first team of Growth Marketing Fellows to help introduce Marco to more people, grow our community, and shape how the platform expands across Northeast Florida.

This is not a traditional campus ambassador role. You’ll work directly with Marco’s founder on real growth initiatives for a live startup. You’ll get to test ideas, build local partnerships, create campaigns, and see the measurable impact of your work.

You won’t just be promoting a company. You’ll be helping build one.

What You'll Work On

As a Growth Marketing Fellow, you’ll have ownership over projects across marketing, community growth, and business development. Depending on your strengths and interests, your work may include:

  • Creating branded Reels, newsletters, carousels, maker spotlights, and community campaigns
  • Testing new growth ideas and learning which strategies actually drive results 
  • Crafting communications that keep Marco’s local community informed and engaged
  • Developing creative ways to introduce Marco to students, shoppers, eventgoers, and local communities
  • Representing Marco at markets, community events, on campus, and around the First Coast
  • Building relationships with local artists, makers, and small businesses and inviting strong businesses to join the platform
  • Supporting event promotion and ticket sales through trackable campaigns
  • Bringing your own ideas to the table and having the opportunity to help put them into action

Compensation

Fellows receive base pay plus performance-based earnings for measurable contributions such as qualified shopper growth, vendor partnerships, approved content, and event ticket sales.

 

Most active Fellows are expected to earn approximately $500 per month for 5–8 hours of work per week, with opportunities to earn more through optional performance incentives and uncapped ticket commission.

 

Compensation is paid biweekly. This is a 1099 independent contractor role.

What We're Looking For

You may be a strong fit if you are:

  • Currently enrolled in college and at least 18 years old
  • Based on the First Coast or attending school in the Jacksonville, Jacksonville Beach, St. Augustine, or Fernandina Beach area
  • Interested in marketing, communications, entrepreneurship, startups, events, or business development
  • Comfortable in social settings and networking environments
  • Creative, resourceful, and willing to test new ideas
  • Self-motivated and able to take ownership of your work
  • Excited by the opportunity to support local businesses and help grow something from an early stage

You do not need extensive professional experience. We care more about initiative, follow-through, creativity, and your ability to connect with people.

What You'll Gain

  • Real startup experience: Work directly with a founder building and growing a company from the ground up
  • Flexibility, on your terms: Set your own schedule and work when it fits your classes, your commitments, and your life
  • Meaningful ownership: Take the lead on projects that directly influence Marco’s growth
  • Cross-functional exposure: Learn how marketing, partnerships, product, events, and operations work together
  • Direct mentorship: Receive hands-on guidance, feedback, and a professional reference from the founder
  • A stronger portfolio: Build real campaigns and document measurable results you helped create
  • A local network: Form relationships with makers, founders, event organizers, and community leaders across the First Coast
  • A standout career story: Leave with more than a job title. You’ll be able to explain what you built, tested, learned, and grew at a growing startup.

Interested in Joining the Founding Fellow Team?

  • Apply to tell us a little about yourself, what you’re interested in, and how you would help more people discover Marco.
  • Selected applicants will be invited to a short conversation with the founder.
