Marketing Manager for Chat-first Habibot

Looking for a Marketing Manager / Growth Partner (equity) — Habibot I’m building Habibot: a chat-first restaurant booking assistant (Telegram / WhatsApp / voice) — no app download, multilingual, built for people who actually go out and for venues that want fewer no-shows and fuller tables. This is not a “run some ads and write captions” gig. I need someone who already knows people — and can open doors fast. What you get • Equity / profit share tied to real traction (pilots → paying venues / usage) • Ownership of go-to-market, partnerships, and early brand narrative • Direct line to product: your intros and feedback shape what we ship • If nothing commercializes, a small expense reimbursement (receipts-based stipend; capped — we agree the amount before starting) What I’m looking for • A connector, not a theory marketer — you get replies because people trust you • ≥ 2,000 LinkedIn connections at mid-level and above (managers, founders, operators, professionals — not fake follower spam) • Your network includes people who travel often and dine out regularly (business travelers, expats, city professionals, hospitality-adjacent contacts) • Comfortable warm-introducing Habibot to restaurant owners, GMs, hotel F&B, and high-intent diners • Bias to ownership: book demos, close pilots, convert relationships into usage — not “ticket closing” • Part-time OK at the start; intensity ramps when pilots convert Nice-to-have: hospitality / food / travel / local lifestyle experience; Italian or English (both OK); EU / Mediterranean city networks are a plus. THE PRODUCT (Habibot) Automation for restaurants and similar venues: • Reservations, waitlists, confirmations, reminders — in chat (and optional voice) • Multi-language, no app friction • Clear SaaS / per-booking or subscription path once venues see fill rate and no-show reduction Why this role matters: the product’s commercial upside depends less on “more features” and more on the right rooms of people — diners who use it, and venues that pay because it works. Your job is to turn your network into: early diner adoption (people who already go out), and restaurant / hospitality pilots that can become paying customers. How we’ll work • Async-first; English or Italian OK • Start with a focused 90-day push: intros → demos → pilots → conversion story • Comp and equity terms documented before deep work • No vanity metrics: we care about warm intros, booked calls, active pilots, and confirmed bookings To apply, please answer: Where is your network strongest (cities / industries / communities), and roughly what share dines out / travels often? LinkedIn profile URL + confirm you have at least ~2,000 mid-level+ connections (screenshot of connection count OK) 2–3 examples of doors you’ve opened (restaurant, hospitality, travel, or professional communities) — short is fine Hours/week available for the next 90 days Confirm you’re OK with equity + expense reimbursement only if nothing commercializes Serious networkers and operators only. If you want a fixed-price “make me a logo and Instagram grid” job, this isn’t it.
