Brkfst.io is an incubated venture within WITHIN, focused on connecting creators with major brands to produce impactful ads at scale.

We are and we connect creators with big brands to make impactful ads at scale. We have a network of thousands of content creators with a variety of different skill-sets, and we’re looking to build a program that empowers them to create great ads for brands like Corkcicle, Perfume.com, Casper Mattresses, & more!

About you: You are very process-oriented and love making sure your team is working as efficiently as possible. You generate user stories and acceptance criteria, and collaborate with developers and designers.

Not stopping there, you contribute to the SDLC with processes and documentation benefiting the entire team.

Even when you’re brushing your teeth, you’re thinking about the user, continually wondering how the team can provide more value. You’re always asking what the user wants, and thinking about how to provide them what they need. You can demo features and prototypes to users and generate valuable feedback about UX and adaptability.
