About Us

Participant is a Benefit Corporation that develops assistive products, so that people with disabilities can participate more in society. We started with a world class wheelchair for children called Cub (bit.ly/1minCubDemo). We are a seed stage startup that functions as a global, virtual team. Our short term goals are to launch several products, build our distributor network in Europe and Africa, and to adjust as needed to achieve product market fit. www.participant.life

The Opportunity

We are seeking a proactive and driven Community & Growth Manager to serve as a primary voice for our brand. This is not a traditional marketing role. You will be a hybrid professional, blending strategic outreach, community building, AI and new technology solutions, and digital marketing to directly drive our pipeline of high-value B2B customers, including distributors and NGOs. You will play a critical role in shaping our brand's presence in new markets and converting online engagement into real-world sales opportunities.

We strongly prefer to hire a person with a disability.
