About the job

EQL Tech is hiring a Founding Go-To-Market Lead (Growth & Community) for a venture-backed fintech client in Phoenix, Arizona. This on-site, full-time role centers on helping families navigate state-funded Education Savings Accounts (ESAs) in a $900B public education market. The company aims to replace outdated, government-focused platforms with a polished fintech product that families can trust and enjoy using.

  • Team: Built by alumni of Stripe, Mercury, Goldman Sachs, and SpaceX
  • Product: Consumer fintech experience inspired by Cash App and Wise

What You Will Do

  • Create a community-driven go-to-market strategy, focusing on referrals, partnerships, and direct engagement with parent networks
  • Work closely with families to understand their needs, build trust, and identify adoption barriers, then translate insights into actionable GTM tactics
  • Design, test, and refine referral programs, partnership models, and systems for gathering community feedback
  • Lead outreach efforts in person with homeschool groups, special needs communities, local parent gatherings, educational events, and advocacy organizations
  • Collaborate with founders, product, and operations teams to improve onboarding and drive account growth
  • Analyze data on funnels, cohorts, activation, retention, and conversion to support decision-making
  • Work with community leaders, education stakeholders, and partners to expand the company’s reach and impact
  • Travel regularly to connect with families and partners face to face

Who Thrives in This Role

This position fits someone who enjoys building trust through direct community engagement, values fieldwork and relationships, and prefers working hands-on alongside both data and mission-driven founders. The focus is on real-world connections, not just digital campaigns or transactional outreach.
