Join our crew of ex-startup marketers who ditched the corporate grind for consulting freedom

HazelGray is a collective of marketing renegades (we’re allergic to the word “agency”). 

We’re a crew of ex-startup marketers who ditched the corporate grind for consulting freedom. We work with scrappy, early-stage disruptors in DTC and B2B (typically Seed to Series B). Our philosophy is simple: bold storytelling, community-led growth, and finding fun ways to be unexpected.

We don’t follow the rules—we break them. We don’t just execute, we deliver.

And we’re obsessed with AI. In a good way, we promise. We’re building custom-built AI copilots trained on our marketing know-how and our clients’ deep data—everything from product catalogs to key messaging and competitor intel. These copilots are built to be true extensions of our clients’ teams, boosting productivity 6x and freeing them up to focus on what matters growth.

About this role, written by Matt Handy, Founder of HazelGray.

Too much noise. Too many startups using the same tired playbook. Everyone’s trying to make the company—or worse, the founder—the hero. Spare me.

At HazelGray, we flip that script. The customer is the hero, and the brand is the guide to unlocking magic. Startups need bold, scrappy ideas that move the needle, not more fluff.

Life is more than work. We push boundaries, deliver results, and respect your sanity. Work hard, recharge, and come back stronger. Work-life balance is non-negotiable.

We’re small, nimble, and fast. No big marketing machine or army of assistants. I’m looking for someone who loves to get shit done, solve problems, and figure things out.  

We have no room egos. I want smart, genuine, empathetic people who want to grow, push themselves, and make money doing it. You’ll have autonomy, accountability, and support to take risks (and even fail.)

Join a small, tight-knit crew of marketers—our band of pirates—who do killer work and have fun while they’re at it.

If that sounds like your kind of challenge, I’d love to chat.
