Leep is a fast-growing music-tech platform helping emerging artists break through industry barriers. We give creators the tools to collaborate, grow their sound, and gain real exposure --- without needing industry connections.
We've proven demand in closed beta: 117 artists, 112,000 organic impressions, and our over 200 active users in discord. We have a live MVP, an active Discord community, and high-impact contests that put real career-defining prizes directly in front of independent artists.
We recently wrapped Contest 1 , generating over 25,000 views in just two weeks . Now, we are preparing for our massive flagship competition (Contest 2) and looking for a creative, execution-driven teammate to help turn this momentum into a scaling user base and a successful funding round.
The Opportunity
As our Community, Marketing \& Content Lead (working directly with the founder), you will take ownership of how Leep shows up in the world --- our Discord, our social video content, our contests, and our story for investors.
You won't be starting from zero.

- An active Discord community of engaged artists
- Proven contest momentum (38,000 views on our first soft launch in 14 days proven demand )
- TikTok and YouTube channels with a growing content catalogue
- Our flagship contest in motion with confirmed high-level partners and prizes
- Early traction and a founder ready to work closely alongside you
Your mission: Create and edit engaging short-form social content, cultivate our Discord community, execute our upcoming flagship contest, and help build the narrative that gets us funded.
