We build tech brands for their next stage of growth.

The role

Metabrand builds brands for tech startups: strategy, identity, websites and motion, in focused sprints that are often timed to a raise or a launch. We’re looking for a business development director in Los Angeles who lives in the startup world, knows founders and investors, and can turn a first coffee into a signed brand and website project. You work directly with our founder and own the US pipeline.

What you’ll do

• Build a pipeline of early-stage tech startups in AI, fintech, SaaS and B2B, both inbound and outbound.
• Turn your network of founders, VCs and accelerators into a steady flow of introductions.
• Run first calls, qualify fast, and shape scopes and proposals with our founder.
• Negotiate and close five- and six-figure engagements.
• Stay close to clients after launch: the next raise, product or market usually means the next project.
• Represent Metabrand at founder events and demo days in LA.
• Keep the CRM clean and the forecast honest.

Who we’re looking for

• 7+ years in business development or client leadership at a brand, design or digital agency, or selling creative services to startups.
• A real network in the LA tech and venture scene.
• You can talk positioning and design with a founder, not only price and timeline.
• A track record of building pipeline from zero, not just managing inbound.
• You like a model where closing is what pays.

Not for you if

• You need a marketing team to hand you warm leads.
• You prefer long corporate procurement cycles to fast founder decisions.
• You want a big-agency title ladder.

Compensation

Base salary plus commission on closed deals.

How to apply

Send your LinkedIn and a short note to info@metabrand.digital with “Business Development Director” in the subject. Tell us about one deal you closed with a startup founder: who it was, how it started and how long it took.

The role

Half of a brand is words. You’ll write positioning, messaging and tone of voice for tech startups, then carry them through websites, decks and launch announcements. You work next to our strategists and designers from the first founder workshop to launch day.

What you’ll do

• Turn founder interviews and strategy into clear positioning, messaging and tone of voice.
• Write websites end to end: structure, headlines, product pages, microcopy.
• Write launch copy: announcements, pitch deck narratives, social and email.
• Make complex products in AI, fintech and developer tools simple without dumbing them down.
• Present your thinking to founders and defend it.

Who we’re looking for

• Native English speaker.
• 5+ years writing for brands, agencies or tech companies, with B2B or tech work in your portfolio.
• You can explain what an API, a payment rail or an AI agent does in one clean sentence.
• Fast and structured: first drafts in days, not weeks.
• Comfortable writing straight into design layouts in Figma.

Not for you if

• You prefer high-volume content marketing to brand work.
• You need a complete brief before you write a word.

How to apply

Send three to five pieces to info@metabrand.digital with “Senior Copywriter” in the subject, ideally including a website and a tone of voice. Add one line on what you wrote in each.
