Nectar
About us
We're living through a fundamental shift in how people discover, evaluate, and purchase products. The next generation doesn't respond to traditional marketing—they build relationships with brands through authentic social interactions, seek recommendations from communities they trust, and expect personalized experiences that feel human, not corporate.

You’ve shipped internal systems, managed hiring pipelines, and handled project coordination at scale
Stage-Fit Experience:
You’ve helped a startup scale from
Series A through C , with firsthand experience of what high-growth operations look like at each step

You bring strong analytical thinking, structured communication, and strategic judgment.
MBA preferred , and

is a plus

Clear, empathetic communicator who thrives in fast-paced, high-ambiguity environments
Bias for Action:
You move quickly, take ownership, and don’t wait to be told what to do
Startup Energy:
Willing to wear multiple hats, solve urgent problems, and work closely with founders and execs
Bonus points
Experience managing or coordinating with remote design/product teams
Experience supporting high-growth sales or customer success teams
Familiarity with Notion, Linear, Ashby, or similar internal tooling
