About the role
Relationships are the single greatest predictor of long-term health and happiness. We know this from 85 years of Harvard research. And yet there's no product category dedicated to helping people actually build better ones.
Candle is changing that. We're the world’s first relationship fitness app, doing for relationship health what workout apps did for physical fitness. We help couples build stronger, more intentional relationships through daily habits, play, rituals, and check-ins that actually matter.
We crossed 1 million users and $1M ARR in the first 6 months, now over $3M in annual run rate. And we're just getting started.
The Role
We're looking for a Growth Lead to own Candle's creator program, UGC engine, and creator community, and help us scale paid social across TikTok and Meta.
Candle is a product couples love and talk about. The content writes itself. Your job is to build the infrastructure that turns that energy into a compounding acquisition machine, and then run it with real accountability to views, trial starts, and DAU targets.
You'll manage a Discord community of 100+ creators across multiple countries, grow the roster, and build the systems that make the whole thing operate at scale. You'll work directly with the founders. This is one of the most important hires we're making this year.
What You'll Own
Creator Program & UGC Pipeline Own Candle's creator program end-to-end. Develop sourcing strategy, creator personas, and tier structure across markets. Write briefs and scripts that get results. Build the workflows, agreements, payments, feedback cycles, iteration loops, that let us run a high-volume creator operation without things slipping.
Creator Community (Discord) Manage and grow our Discord community of 100+ creators. Keep the roster engaged, informed, and producing. Run challenges, feedback loops, and incentive structures that maintain quality and volume at scale. Identify top performers and build them up. Cull what isn't working.
