What we hire for

Growth & marketing hiring for startups

Distribution is usually the bottleneck, not the product. We help startups in Thailand and Southeast Asia hire growth and marketing operators who can find channels that work and turn them into repeatable demand.

Marketing and growth recruitment at Proper Round covers the people who build demand — growth marketing, performance, brand, content, community and demand generation. We look for T-shaped operators who can run experiments end to end, read the numbers, and scale what works, rather than specialists who only know one lever.

Generalists who can run the whole loop

Early-stage marketing rewards range. The best startup marketers can scope a campaign, ship it, measure it, and decide what to do next — without a big team or agency behind them.

We vet for that loop: can this person form a hypothesis, run a clean experiment, and tell you honestly what the data says? In SEA, we also weight local channel knowledge and bilingual content ability, because what works in one market rarely copies cleanly to the next.

What we screen for

  • Owned, measurable growth outcomes — not vanity metrics or borrowed credit.
  • Fluency across channels with the judgement to focus on the few that matter.
  • Comfort with ambiguity, small budgets, and fast iteration.
  • Local and bilingual marketing instincts for Thailand and the wider region.
