Co-Founder (Chief Marketing Officer) – Better Bicycles in City Of Bristol

Job description

At Better Bicycles, we’re reinventing the folding bike for modern city life — a bike that folds as fast as an umbrella, is half the thickness of a Brompton, and rolls like luggage. Our goal is simple: make cycling the default mode of urban transport through elegant engineering and design.

We’ve secured over £400k in UK government grants, developed 16 prototypes, and built a community of 3,000+ riders signed up for test rides. Now we’re ready to launch — and we’re looking for a co-founder to lead our marketing and growth.

We’re seeking a Chief Marketing Officer (Co-Founder) to own storytelling, growth, and brand strategy — transforming a breakthrough concept into a movement.

You’ll work alongside the founder (PhD mechanical engineer, who led research with Airbus and Rolls-Royce) to launch our pre-order and crowdfunding campaigns, drive brand awareness, and build investor excitement.

• Lead Marketing & Growth: Own the pre-order and crowdfunding campaigns, building excitement and trust.
• Build the Brand: Translate technical excellence into a lifestyle people want to be part of.
• Own Digital: Manage CRM, paid ads, analytics, and funnels (Mailchimp, Meta Ads, Google).
• Create & Inspire: Produce or direct compelling video, photo, and written content — using tools like Midjourney, Runway, and GPT.
• PR & Partnerships: Lead outreach to media, influencers, and partner brands.
• Shape the Movement: Build a loyal following that believes in cleaner, freer, more human cities.

✅ Experienced in marketing, mobility, cycling, or sustainable lifestyle sectors.

✅ Proven track record growing startups or campaigns from the ground up.

✅ Deep knowledge of digital marketing, analytics, and storytelling.

✅ Comfortable with ambiguity, fast-paced execution, and hands-on work.

✅ Passionate about building a company that changes how cities move.

⭐ Prior Kickstarter / Indiegogo success.

⭐ Influencer or strong content creator in cycling/sustainability.

⭐ Press or PR background with media relationships.

⭐ Experience scaling D2C hardware or lifestyle brands.

⭐ Proficiency with AI creative tools (Midjourney, Runway, LoRAs).

• Co-founder equity in a grant-funded, high-potential startup.
• Influence over a product that can reshape city transport.
• A say in every major decision — this is our company.
• Flexible commitment (3 days/week initially, 1-year vesting cliff).

If you’re an entrepreneurial marketer who loves bikes, design, and big ideas — and you want to help launch a product that redefines urban freedom — let’s talk.
