Pico is building the infrastructure for the next big wave of Internet commerce – that which doesn't require a shipping label. You and the team you eventually build will be in charge of all aspects of Pico's brand and marketing while establishing Pico as a category-defining company.
Expect to be in close contact with Pico's founders, whom you'll be reporting to directly and will contribute to strategic and creative decisions but who will give you wide latitude to own Pico's entire growth and marketing operation yourself. They will make themselves readily available but otherwise leave you to achieve your growth goals, hiring included, as you see fit.
This position should appeal only to those with the ambition of building and leading a growth team from scratch in a category-defining company like Stripe, Shopify, or Square. You are comfortable being a 'pioneer', managing the ambiguity that comes with writing your own playbook for others to follow – and iterating constantly. On one hand, you are a creative strategist; on the other you are able to roll up your sleeves on all operation details, diving into analytics, refining drip emails, or setting up a referral program from scratch.
It's a rare opportunity to work on something you love, to have the power to improve the world around you, and to get rewarded for doing it. If protecting the press and elevating the standards of public discourse sound like interesting challenges to you, and if you’re in search of a startup that has de-risked upside and strong validation among the investor community, then working at Pico is that rare opportunity.
As an early employee, you have the chance to not just build an amazing platform, but to also help cultivate a company culture that reflects the type of community of which you want to be a part. Trust, mutual respect, and passion already run deep in our young company's DNA. Jason and Nick became friends in elementary school and started Pico several years after graduating from Stanford together. You'll fit right in if, like us, you're curious about the world, anxious to fix what's broken around you, and thoughtful about how you do it.
There's a lot of exciting work to be done to fulfill the vision and potential of Pico. Join our journey, and let's get there together.

In the show Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Kimmy grows up and spends her young adulthood in a bunker underground where she is held prisoner. After being rescued from the bunker, she’s invited to a talk show in New York City. She’s given a plane ticket in the mail and told that a car will take her to the airport nearby in Indianapolis, but she has no idea what to do once she arrives at the airport. Explain to her in clear and concise instructions how to get on her flight to New York and how to get to the TV studio once she lands in New York. (There will be a limo driver waiting for her outside JFK. The driver will be holding a sign with her name on it.)
