About the role
Description
Location:
Various US cities | Part-Time | Paid Fellowship
Have you always wanted to get scrappy startup experience? Now’s your opportunity!
What You’ll Do:
If you’re the kind of person who loves to make things happen — whether it’s organizing a buzz-worthy meetup, getting your friends to try the new thing first, or driving downloads at your neighborhood hot spot — this is your chance to help grow a fast-moving fashion startup from the ground up.
You’ll work closely with the Pickle team to bring Pickle to life locally, in a way that matches your availability and track.
Introduce Pickle to your world—group chats, clubs, communities, workplaces, social circles (think: hosting a styling session, organizing a founder talk, curating a Pickle lookbook for your next event, or getting your friend group to start renting together)
Activate around key moments—date parties, trips, formals, nights out, weddings, galas
Drive downloads and first rentals through word-of-mouth and social
Plan and host IRL activations (pop-ups, events, tabling, etc.) → Growth Fellows: 1+/week → Brand Ambassadors: 1+/month
Be our eyes + ears—share feedback, trends, and what’s actually happening in your community

Bonus (not required): You’re already a Pickle user—or excited to become one.
and ideally you fit (at least) one of the profiles below:
The Connector
You’re tapped into your local scene — whether it's your campus or buzzy neighborhood communities. You are deeply tapped into social networks in your city and are a trusted source your peers look to for recommendations.
The Supply Maven
You’ve got great taste and know others with incredible closets. Maybe you’re a stylist, a creator, or just the fashion girlie one everyone turns to for outfit help. You can list 10+ people in your network whose closets you can help upload onto Pickle.
The Event Host
You have experience hosting events and know how to bring people together — whether it’s a popup at a local spot you love, an upload party, or a community meetup. You can pull off a high-impact event on a low budget and still make it fun, intentional, and on-brand. Plus, you're detail oriented, and can execute quickly without a hitch.
The Jack of All Trades
You wear multiple hats and get scrappy. One day you’re handing out gift cards on a main street, the next you're popping up at a buzzy workout studio, and the next you’re helping someone upload someone's wardrobe that you just met. You're eager to roll up your sleeves and are creative to drive meaningful growth.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
