GiveSafe Local Storyteller

USER ACQUISITION / PARTNERSHIP DEVELOPMENT

Location: Downtown Seattle

─

Role:

Don’t mind the unusual name, this role is exactly as it sounds: a storyteller with designs to equip buddies with a new response to homelessness. If you feel that it is part of our mandate to help those who are lost, and not just that of the government or nonprofits, read on; we want to galvanize Seattle’s response to homelessness with your help. Available Part-Time or Full-Time.

About GiveSafe:

GiveSafe is a platform designed to reveal the journeys of those we pass everyday — the single mom on the bus, the grandfather on the street, the homeless teen outside the supermarket — and provide an effective, cashless way to respond.

Small bluetooth Beacons are distributed to individuals through nonprofit partners, such that if you have the GiveSafe app, you’ll receive a push notification as you pass by a beacon holder, with the opportunity to read a slice of the person’s life or contribute a needed good or service (such as food, fuel or clothing). Learn more at withgivesafe.org.

Responsibilities:

• Work with the founder to deploy digital campaigns and run inbound marketing for the apps and website
• Develop partnerships with Seattle-based companies, churches, and other organizations to equip communities with the app
• Equip existing nonprofit / merchant partners to become advocates for GiveSafe through their own communities
• Help put together fun, grassroots (and hopefully) viral efforts around the people who are experiencing homelessness in Seattle

Requirements:

• Demonstrable experience growing online communities through inbound / outbound marketing
• Strong capacity to build new relationships in person, over the phone, and through email
• Quick-to-act ability — willingness to experiment and learn, despite unknowns or a lack of precedence
• A startup/co-founder mentality — the project’s livelihood depends on growth and demonstrated impact; let’s get it done.

What We Offer:

GiveSafe offers competitive monthly stipends, and potentially equity in the company and vision we are building together. If you’re interested in building relationships and technology to help fathers, daughters, and brothers find their way back home, GiveSafe could be the place for you.

Send us an email with a few links to previous work and we’ll get started.
