Job description
- We're looking for a versatile, impact-driven Generalist to join our fast-growing team at Waterlily. This is a high-ownership, high-growth opportunity for someone who thrives in ambiguity, moves fast, and wants to build novel best practices in sales, ops, content, and systems.
- You'll be our Swiss-Army knife, jumping from coordinating executive ops one hour, to writing crisp marketing copy the next, to running lightweight outbound campaigns after that. If you've got grit, brains, and range, we'll give you the tools, mentorship, and mission to grow into a startup operator that any company would fight to hire.
- We don't care about fancy job titles. We care about people who get important things done fast, even when no one has drawn the map yet.
- Location: Remote
- (Strong preference for teammates in the Philippines, Vietnam, or UTC-3 to UTC+8 Latin-America for easy overlap with U.S. Pacific hours)
- We're still under 30 people. Every new teammate moves the needle. You'll be our Swiss-Army knife, jumping from executive assistant work to sales outreach to polishing product-launch copy. Your superpower: getting important things done fast, even without a roadmap.
