Community Coordinator — Thrifle Shopper Community

About Thrifle

Thrifle.com is the most intelligent shopping platform in the United States. We're building the country's largest free database of retailer return policies (150+ retailers graded A+ to D), real-time CPSC and FDA product recall cross-checking, military and student discount verification, live Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Price Index data, EIA gas prices, and Federal Reserve borrowing rates — all surfaced inside the shopping flow so consumers can answer "Is this actually a good deal for me?" before they buy.

We are not a coupon aggregator. We are not a price comparison engine. We are an AI-first shopping intelligence platform with proprietary data, a custom multi-phase AI content pipeline (Anthropic Claude Sonnet 4.6 + Haiku 4.5), and live data integrations across federal economic datasets — building the most comprehensive consumer shopping intelligence layer on the internet.

We're a lean, founder-led team shipping fast.

The Role

Thrifle has the data — 150+ retailer return-policy database, 1,500+ FAQs, live recall and price intelligence, an AI-first content pipeline. We're hiring a Community Coordinator to build the human layer around it: the Reddit presence, the Telegram channel, the weekly newsletter, the relationships with military/student/teacher communities who benefit most from what we publish.

What You'll Own

• Reddit presence: become a trusted, helpful voice in r/Frugal, r/Couponing, r/MilitaryFinance, r/PersonalFinance, r/[brand] subs — answer questions with depth, drop Thrifle links naturally, never spam

• Telegram channel growth: push channel with hot deals, recall alerts, intelligence briefs — grow subscriber count, engagement, and outbound clicks

• Weekly newsletter: turn the existing soft-paywall + giveaway signup flow into a high-quality weekly digest (top deals + intelligence pulse + recall alerts + personality)

• Partnerships: military/veteran orgs, teacher unions, first-responder associations — trade Thrifle's discount database for syndication, backlinks, audience

• Pinterest content strategy: we now have a Return Policy Database board with 150+ pins — expand into deal pins, intelligence pins, recall awareness pins

• Customer support voice: respond to support emails, giveaway questions, deal inquiries — you're the human voice of Thrifle to users

What We Want

• 2+ years in community management, growth marketing, or DTC brand work

• You're already active on Reddit, Pinterest, or Telegram in a real way (not just for work)

• You can write — punchy, human, no jargon, no marketing-speak

• Comfortable with light data work — analyzing GA, Search Console, Mailchimp, Telegram analytics

• You love retail, deal-hunting, or consumer protection as a genuine interest
