Escargot · New York City · Full-time · $150,000 - $250,000
We’re hiring a hands-on creative growth leader to invent and execute the things that make Escargot known — content, campaigns, stunts, creators, events, partnerships, street-level activations, and whatever else gets people talking and sending.
Escargot started with greeting cards, but cards are the wedge. We’re building a new kind of digital-to-physical social network: one that helps people keep track of the relationships that matter, act on meaningful moments, and turn those moments into physical objects, gifts, cards, memories, and keepsakes.
We believe people are craving more real, tangible, emotionally specific ways to connect. Social media became mostly performance and entertainment. Texting became the default for everything. Meanwhile, the things people actually save — cards, photos, notes, ticket stubs, fridge magnets, the weird little objects that prove a life happened — still carry disproportionate meaning.
That is the space we’re building in: the bridge between digital convenience and physical meaning. We’ve raised $3M, we’re a small team, and people are already framing Escargot cards on their walls. Now we need someone to help make Escargot feel much bigger in the world.
Escargot is hiring a Founding Head of Creative Growth to help make way more people know, see, talk about, and send Escargot.
This is not a traditional social media role. It is not a content calendar role. It is not a “make posts and hope something hits” role.
We’re looking for a hands-on creative operator who can figure out how Escargot grows top of funnel through whatever actually works: organic content, creator collaborations, stunts, events, social experiments, partnerships, community ideas, founder-led storytelling, street-level activations, weird internet formats, and campaigns people want to talk about.
Your job is to make Escargot culturally impossible to ignore — then turn that attention into real curiosity, traffic, sends, and momentum.
You’ll have a huge amount of creative freedom and autonomy. Probably more than you’ve had in any previous job. But autonomy here means ownership: you’ll be expected to figure things out, make things happen, and bring the level of creative ambition the business needs.
The opportunity is bigger than cards. The question is: how do we make thoughtfulness, memory, and showing up for your people feel alive, social, desirable, and worth talking about?
