Adult gig platforms are 18+ only, which shuts out a willing local workforce of 13 to 17 year olds, so we built a safe, verified way for adults to post paid jobs (gardening, car washing, tutoring, pet sitting and more) and for local teens to earn from them, with their parents able to see everything along the way.
KidsHustle is live on the App Store and Google Play, and is a trading name of Urban Mechanics Ltd.
The roleWe’re looking for a self-directed growth marketer to get our first wave of customers posting and paying for jobs.
You’ll own customer acquisition end to end, choosing the channels, running the experiments and reporting on what works.
We’ll give you one clear goal, a marketing budget and full freedom over how you hit it, with a short weekly call to share results and anything in the product that’s holding customers back.
This is a hands-on launch role, not a strategy or brand position.
