Co-Founder – Brand, Marketing & Social

SPOT | Dating, reimagined around real dates
UK | Flexible / Hybrid | Equity-based Co-Founder Role
Please note: this is an equity-only Co-Founder opportunity and is not a salaried or paid position at this stage.
SPOT is a new dating app built around one simple idea:
Stop texting. Start meeting.
We’re building a dating platform where the date is the product, helping people move away from endless messaging and actually meet in the real world.
We’re currently preparing for launch, already building a growing network of independent hospitality venues, and now we’re looking for a third Co-Founder to join the founding team and take ownership of brand, marketing, design and social growth.
The Role
This isn’t a traditional marketing position.
We’re looking for someone entrepreneurial, creative and hands-on who wants to help build a consumer brand from the ground up and genuinely shape how SPOT looks, sounds and grows.
You’ll work directly alongside the Founder/CEO and CTO, owning the creative and marketing side of the business.
This role is for someone who wants to build long-term value in the company in return for equity and genuine ownership, rather than join as a salaried employee.
What You’ll Own
• Brand strategy and creative direction
• Social media strategy across TikTok, Instagram and other key channels
• Content creation and campaign concepts
• Launch and pre-launch marketing
• Community building and user acquisition
• Influencer and creator strategy
• Organic growth and viral campaign ideas
• App and website creative direction
• UX/UI input from a brand and consumer perspective
• Photography, video and short-form content direction
• Venue-focused campaigns and activation ideas
• Building SPOT into a recognisable consumer brand
• Testing new ideas quickly and using data to understand what works
Who We’re Looking For
You might come from branding, social media, creative, consumer marketing, design or growth, or be someone who combines several of those skills.
More importantly, you’ll be someone who:
• Understands how to build attention around a consumer brand
• Has a strong eye for design and visual identity
• Understands TikTok, Instagram and modern social culture
• Can turn an idea into content rather than just write a marketing strategy
• Understands what makes people share, engage and talk about a brand
• Is comfortable working in an early-stage startup where things move quickly
• Can challenge ideas and bring your own
• Wants ownership rather than simply another job
• Is commercially minded as well as creative
Experience within dating, hospitality, lifestyle, events, nightlife or consumer apps would be particularly interesting, but it isn’t essential.
About SPOT
Most dating apps have become very good at helping people match.
We want to become very good at helping people actually date.
SPOT is being designed around real-world meetings, with users able to discover people, arrange dates quickly and choose places to meet through a growing network of venues.
We’re approaching the market differently from traditional dating platforms, with the venue ecosystem sitting alongside the user experience rather than being an afterthought.
What’s Already Happening
We’re not starting with just an idea.
The product is being developed, the founding team is in place, and we already have 150+ venues and growing, with our focus now expanding into London ahead of launch.
The foundations are there.
We now want somebody who can help turn SPOT into a brand people recognise, talk about and want to be part of.
Equity & Commitment
This is a genuine Co-Founder position with equity in SPOT.
It is not a paid, salaried or freelance role at this stage.
We’re looking for someone who believes in the opportunity, is willing to contribute their time and expertise alongside the existing founders, and wants to build meaningful ownership in the business as it grows.
You’ll be joining early enough to materially shape the product, brand, culture and future direction of SPOT.
