Head of Marketing — Equity Only

ZOVU · Equity only · No base salary

We're looking for the person who will own ZOVU's marketing: the message, the campaigns and the day-to-day execution. You'll work directly with the founder, create the early work yourself, and decide where to focus our marketing effort within agreed priorities and budget.

About ZOVU

Restaurant teams often work across disconnected tools for orders, bookings, loyalty and staff planning. ZOVU is building one operating system that brings these workflows together.

Your job is to make that story clear to restaurant owners and operators, reach the right people and turn their interest into useful customer conversations.

What you'll own

• The message. Understand restaurant owners, sharpen our positioning with the founder and explain ZOVU in language they recognise.
• The content. Write website copy, create campaigns and produce materials that support customer conversations.
• Customer acquisition. Choose a focused set of channels, run experiments and learn which ones bring qualified enquiries.
• The marketing operation. Keep the calendar, tools and delivery organised. Coordinate specialist support where budget allows.
• The connection with sales. Agree what a good lead looks like and make sure enquiries reach the person responsible for follow-up.
• The numbers. Track spending, enquiries and conversions. Explain what worked, what didn't and what you would change next.

You're probably a fit if you

• Have built and executed marketing for an early-stage B2B or software business.
• Can write clear copy, launch campaigns and use the tools yourself.
• Can show work you personally delivered and explain the resources, results and lessons.
• Make good decisions with limited information and a limited budget.
• Take responsibility for delivery and communicate clearly about progress and blockers.
• Can sustain an agreed commitment under an equity-only arrangement.

Bonus points

• You've marketed restaurant technology, POS, payments or other hospitality products.
• You've worked in or with restaurants and understand how owners make buying decisions.
• You've coordinated designers, content creators or freelancers.

What we offer

• Responsibility for building ZOVU's marketing approach from the start.
• Direct work with the founder and influence over positioning and campaigns.
• Autonomy over daily execution within agreed priorities and budget.
• Equity compensation. There is no base salary; the allocation, vesting schedule, weekly commitment and other terms will be agreed in writing before work starts.

Where we are

The initial priorities are practical: understand our target customers, sharpen the message, establish the essential materials and test one or two acquisition channels. Targets and timing will reflect the agreed commitment, available budget and what we learn.

How to apply
