-
Anh-Tho is hiring for a Marketing Manager to support her as she leads Go To Market.
Your role includes:
Your projects will range from content production and distribution, community growth strategy. You'll be able to leverage our existing community (Lago's the most popular open-source repository on Github in our space) and network (Y Combinator, Fintechs, Business Operations and Finance professionals etc.) to amplify our presence in the ecosystem.
If you’re looking for a front row seat to what building a VC-backed fintech is, are always looking to push yourself out of your comfort zone, love structuring the unstructured, figuring things out and then scale them to switch to the next burning challenge, this is a great fit.
Here are examples of successful content we created and distributed in the past months:

The person we are looking for
- You love connecting with people and bringing them value-added insights You love writing, and bringing a community together, but you also know that content only has impact if it reaches an audience. Therefore you spend most of your time iterating on content distribution and how to improve the reach of your messages.
- You’ve shown persistence in the past: it doesn’t matter if it was for a student club, a sports team, a bake sale, or a billion dollar company. You love the thrill of chasing, iterating to learn from your mistakes, to keep winning seemingly impossible challenges. This is what a founder does 99.99% of the time and this is a quality we’re looking for.
- Open Shakras: this is not a ‘Strategy’ position. Anh-Tho left her comfortable position as a strategy consultant at McKinsey as she was aspiring for more direct impact than Excel crunching and Powerpoints. You’ll join the trenches with her: including the glamourous sides of entrepreneurship and the real, down to earth ones.
- Fluent in English, bonus points if you speak French and Spanish
- A demonstrated intellectual curiosity, drive and impact in any other field than business: a first entrepreneurial project, leading a student club, for instance
- You don't need to be a developer, but having attended coding bootcamp or an online technical course is a big plus
- A real appetite for the early stages of co-creating a product and shaping Lago's future

Our Values

- Progress: we care more about the grit, the steep learning curve, the resilience and creativity muscles, than the current status or where you come from.
- Humble confidence: we know our strengths and always strive for excellence, but we also know there’s so much we don’t know yet
- Pay it forward: we’ve all started somewhere, people gave us a hand when we needed one, we don’t forget this, and reinforce this positive cycle
- Not taking ourselves too seriously: we are ambitious, restless learners and hustlers, but at the end of the day, our health (physical and mental), and our loved ones are what matter the most.
