Expertise the focus, not location!  |  Launch SaaS Platform  |  Ongoing, as required

We're acting on behalf of the company launching Careersie, a New Zealand-built platform that gives people a Living Professional Identity they use, instead of a CV they rewrite every time they apply for something. It's almost built, and now it needs a launch implementation strategy to reach the people it was made for.

The launch plan has already been written, but may need some tweaking. Positioning, message, markets and channels have taken months to get right and they're identified. What is needed is someone to run it: turn the plan into a working schedule, produce the material, keep it moving, and report what the numbers are saying.

There's the Founder who owns the product and the story, and a Lead Developer who has guiding the build and development. You're the person who makes the launch actually happen between them.

What you'd be doing

• Managing the launch end to end - but under the watch of the Founder. Sequence, timing, dependencies, what goes out when and what has to be ready first.
• Producing the material the plan calls for. Emails, landing page copy, social posts, drafted with Claude alongside you and finished to a standard that the name goes on.
• Bringing variation. The direction is set, but how a message lands in an email versus a LinkedIn post needs that variation.
• Working directly with the Lead Developer on what is needed before launch, and managing that process.
• Reporting back on what's working, so that adjustment can be made quickly to the plan rather than guesswork.
• Helping us prepare for broader international markets, which are in scope for the same product.

What you'd bring

• A launch you've been part of and has been successful. What you did, what happened, what you've learned, and what you'd do differently.
• Passionate about AI as an effective business tool, not just something you use now and then. Experience with Claude is a real advantage.
• A working understanding of SaaS - testing, trialing, activating, rejigging if needed and why.
• Genuinely hands-on. There's nobody to hand a brief to. If an email is needed, you handle writing it.
• Comfort working to someone else's strategy. This is a role for someone who takes a considered plan and executes it well, not someone looking to rewrite it.

How it works

Remote, ad hoc, as required. Some weeks will be busy, others quiet. Getting together in person occasionally is useful but not an imperative. Skills and experience are the imperatives!

To apply

Include something you've put together that went out into the world, and a few lines to give us an idea of your approach. A CV is fine, but it's the second thing we'll read after some evidence backing the requirements. You will be required to sign an NDA should you be selected to undertake the work.

Hit "Apply" and attach documentation that demonstrates what you've done, but if what you have doesn't fit as an attachment, then email details or a URL link to kevin@talentnow.co.nz. After all, this is what Careersie will do much better!

NB: You must have the right to work in NZ - and be residing in NZ - to apply for this role. We will only respond to those who fulfill these criteria.
