Description

WHAT WE DO At Joy_, we believe gifting should feel personal, playful, and full of surprise – basically everything today’s gift cards are not. We're here to reimagine gifting for the modern world, turning it from a transactional experience into a token of love – customizable, meaningful, and radically flexible. Our universal gift card can be personalized endlessly and redeemed for every product in every online store. That means one gift card = the whole internet. From boutique ceramics in Berlin to rice cookers in Korea – every wish is just a click away. But we're not stopping there. We're not building just a gift card, or even just a tech solution. We're building the gifting backbone of e-commerce – a product concierge that turns intent into instant access. Backed by industry experts and angel investors, we’ve raised our Pre-Seed round and are growing fast – now with you. WHY THIS ROLE IS TRULY DIFFERENT Most jobs offer exposure. This one offers ownership. You won't be a cog in the machine. You’ll be the engine. As one of the first hires, you’ll work directly with our co-founders to shape a brand with the potential to redefine an entire market. What we offer is a greenfield opportunity – a chance to build something enduring, delightful, and impactful from the ground up. Aufgaben In a nutshell: You become the right hand of our co-founders for Sales & Marketing - learning how to build channels from scratch and running them hands-on. Be a strategic sparring partner: from ideation to implementation, you’ll help drive key initiatives across the company. Lead projects end-to-end in Sales & Marketing, like building and scaling new channels one-by-one (e.g., paid social, content, outbound, partnerships,… ) - from first tests to repeatable playbooks. Act as a brand architect: contribute to shaping a gifting experience and consumer brand unlike any other. Build AI-enabled processes and operations. Take creative ownership: from storytelling to visuals, your ideas and instincts matter here. Build the future of gifting using AI tools, design thinking, and raw curiosity. Qualifikation We don't care where you come from. We care where you’re going – and how fast you’re learning. What we’re really looking for: Insane agency and ownership: you thrive in ambiguity and turn chaos into clarity. Creative confidence: you can write a script, sketch a campaign, and build a notion doc in the same hour. Affinity for aesthetics and design: you have an eye for what feels right and makes people smile. AI-savviness: from content creation to automation, you explore tools that give you superpowers. Experience in fast-paced environments (startups, agencies, or your own side hustle) is a big bonus – not a requirement. Fluency in German and English is a must. Benefits What's in it for you? 🌱 Ownership: You’ll own projects that matter – not just assist on them. 🚀 Growth: Build skills in strategy, brand, ops, and AI – and grow with us. 💡 Autonomy: Remote-first setup with the freedom to work when and how you want. 🎁 Meaningful equity – we want you to win with us. 🛍️ Real Impact: See your work live in campaigns, product, and customer touchpoints – fast. HOW WE THINK We think like caring jesters – joyful, kind, clever. We challenge the status quo by staying light on our feet and bold in our ambition. Our compass? Aesthetics. Efficiency. Joy. We believe gifting is about delight – and delight comes from design, thoughtfulness, and a little magic. That’s the experience we’re building: not just easy, but enchanting.
