About Forte Cars

At ,
we're redefining the automotive world. More than just a platform, Forte is a trading and discovery app transforming the $100B+ luxury auto market into a seamless, connected experience for true enthusiasts and collectors. Our all-in-one mobile platform lets users track real-time values, discover rare cars, and access curated deals — all backed by proprietary data and concierge support. We bring together a community of high-end clients, offering exclusive access to top dealerships, private sales, events, and unique automotive experiences.

Responsibilities:

• Partnerships Ownership: Lead the end-to-end partnerships process—ideating opportunities with car clubs (e.g., Porsche Club, Ferrari Owners), influencers, OEMs, and lifestyle brands; sourcing and negotiating mutually beneficial deals (e.g., enclosed transport credits, early event access); and managing activation to integrate perks into our "Insider" tier, driving virality and paid subscriptions.
• Acquisition & Virality: Design and execute growth experiments (e.g., referral loops, targeted outreach to 250k+ U.S. enthusiasts) fueled by PR and partnerships. Co-create member benefits with partners to spark curiosity and fill our waitlist, optimizing for our dual audience in urban/coastal hubs like Miami and LA.
• Retention & Engagement: Build community flywheels and drops of exclusive partner benefits. Use behavioral data to refine curation of perks, analyzing upgraded members behavior while building tangible value for them.
• GTM Execution: Spearhead 2026 campaigns—PR pushes, targeted collabs via partnerships and cross promos with OEMs/dealers for efficiencies. Track every dollar's impact to refine strategies that scale from 1K to 100K members.
• Cross-Functional Hustle: Collaborate with product and concierge teams. Pitch and manage B2B angles that unlock value for partners, all while hustling in ambiguity—from copywriting to rally partnerships. Our Ideal Candidate
• 3+ years in marketing for automotive with a track record of scaling user bases via digital/physical experiments—especially owning relationships that drove organic growth (bonus: consumer apps, luxury/niche communities like invite-only platforms).
• Partnerships pro: Proven experience ideating, sourcing, and managing deals with high-touch networks (e.g., clubs, influencers, brands); you've negotiated perk integrations that felt authentic and boosted retention with PR wins that amplified engagement.
• Data obsession: Proficient in Google Analytics and growth tools; experience turning insights into action (e.g., reduced CAC by 40% through viral loops or partner funnels).
• Automotive affinity: Passion for cars (enthusiast or collector vibes)—you get why buyers pay extra to skip dealerships and crave seamless, community-driven experiences.
• Start-up mentality: Self-reliant and creative thinker in a fast, resource-constrained and always-evolving environment.
• Mission alignment: Excited by invite-only vetting, first-hand data engines, and blending social/transactional in high-end markets.
• Miami-based (hybrid OK, but office preferred at least 3/4 days a week).

Qualifications

• Experience in early-stage start-ups or marketplaces.
• Familiarity fusing APIs with proprietary data or automotive datasets (auctions, indices).
• Network in the automotive industry and HNW circles.

Compensation & Benefits

• Base Salary: Competitive for early-stage startups + Equity
• Benefits: Unlimited PTO, health insurance stipend, hybrid work setup.
• Other: Performance bonuses tied to KPIs (e.g., user growth milestones, partnership activations), plus the intangible: shaping the future of luxury car retail from day zero.
