As Head of Campus Program, you will own Cantina’s college growth strategy end-to-end. You’ll make Cantina culturally relevant and widely adopted on college campuses by designing and scaling a high-impact field marketing program, blending strategy, recruiting, and execution from day one.

Develop the campus playbook by translating your experience with proven college growth strategies from consumer social apps and brands into a new, bespoke approach suited for Cantina.
Travel periodically to key campuses to support leads, validate programs, and maintain quality as the program scales.
What You’ll Bring:
4+ years of campus or field marketing experience, with a track record of running and growing successful college ambassador programs.
Strong consumer instincts from apps or brands where grassroots growth and cultural relevance mattered.
Exceptional recruiting instincts, with the charisma and credibility to identify high-potential student leaders and tastemakers.
Strategic and tactical range, able to design programs at the macro level while staying close to on-campus execution.
Ownership-driven, growth-stage mindset, excited to build from scratch, iterate quickly, and scale what works.
