Growth Lead (3-month contract)

About KidsHustle

KidsHustle is the first job platform where busy adults can safely hire local teenagers. Adult gig platforms are 18+ only, which shuts out a willing local workforce of 13 to 17 year olds, so we built a safe, verified way for adults to post paid jobs (gardening, car washing, tutoring, pet sitting and more) and for local teens to earn from them, with their parents able to see everything along the way. KidsHustle is live on the App Store and Google Play, and is a trading name of Urban Mechanics Ltd.
