AptDeco was founded to fix a problem everyone knows: buying and selling used furniture has always been messy and inconvenient. We’ve built a trusted marketplace and a logistics network unlike anything in the industry to make the entire experience seamless. Now, as we scale across the country, we’re looking for builders and operators eager to shape something new at a pivotal moment. If you’re driven by impact and energized by fast growth, you’ll fit right in.

AptDeco has built a strong marketing foundation and proven channels, and we believe we’re about 60–65% of the way to having marketing fully figured out. To unlock the next phase of growth, we’re looking for a hands-on Head of Marketing who can help define our marketing philosophy, introduce new ways of thinking, and scale what’s already working.

This role is for a builder. You will have full autonomy to bring new ideas, channels, and concepts, while also being responsible for personally executing alongside a lean team. The goal is not to reinvent everything — it’s to take a solid foundation and help turn it into a best-in-class marketing engine.

The Head of Marketing will own AptDeco’s day-to-day marketing operations, with a strong focus on content strategy, social media, influencer partnerships, and growth experimentation. You’ll be responsible for building and executing campaigns across multiple channels, managing creators, analyzing performance, and helping shape our brand voice across the customer journey.

You are equal parts creative storyteller and data-driven marketer, comfortable rolling up your sleeves to execute while also thinking strategically about how all the pieces connect. You’re scrappy, resourceful, and hands-on—someone who thrives in a lean environment and embraces the challenge of creating outsized impact. This is not a “corporate” role; it’s for someone who is nimble, loves the agile nature of start ups and wants to use their know how and creativity to do something different.
