About Pickle

Pickle is a peer-to-peer rental marketplace unlocking the value of the billions of underutilized items sitting in consumers' closets. We make it easy to rent high-quality items exactly when you need them — with fast, convenient fulfillment and an on-demand experience that's as seamless as shopping.

We're building a new kind of commerce layer: one powered by dynamic local supply, where access is more convenient than ownership. Pickle is now live nationwide and scaling rapidly in key local markets including NYC, LA, and Miami. Our marketplace already features 400K+ items, and we're just getting started. We're excited to extend our vision beyond fashion into every category.

What makes Pickle different is the combination of incredible peer-to-peer inventory, industry-leading convenience (under 2 days nationwide and under 2 hours locally), and an on-demand model with no subscriptions — users rent what they want, when they want it. We've raised $20M to date from FirstMark, Craft, Burst Capital, FJ Labs, and others, and we're scaling quickly to build the future of access-driven shopping.

About The Role

We're hiring an Influencer Sales & Relationships Associate to scale our influencer outreach, onboarding and engagement as we expand across cities nationwide.

This role sits at the center of Pickle's growth engine - owning influencer outreach, onboarding, activation, and retention while helping build the systems and playbooks that scale our creator ecosystem nationally. You'll be working directly with some of the trendiest creators across the country.

This is a highly relationship-driven role with a strong outbound component. You'll spend a significant amount of time on creator outreach, onboarding calls, relationship management, and activation strategy. Compensation is structured to reward both landing new creator relationships and growing the value of Pickle’s existing portfolio over time — this isn't a one-and-done acquisition role.

Core metrics include: new creators onboarded (as owners + renters), social content posted & reach, referral-driven signups and rentals, transactions, item upload frequency, rental frequency, UAC and CAC. Secondary metrics include: calls booked & events attended.

This role is ideal for someone who wants to help define the future of creator-led marketplace growth at a fast-growing startup - and who's motivated by a comp plan that pays out on real, trackable outcomes.
