Responsibilities

The TimberU™ Program Lead (TUPL) leads TimberU™, Timber's educational library and knowledge hub. This role oversees the development of articles, guides, how-to resources, videos, definitions, and educational content that helps users understand business, startups, entrepreneurial IP, Optioning, Packaging, and Building. The Head of TimberU owns the TimberU content strategy, educational quality, contributor network, and growth of the library as a core resource within the Timber platform.

Specific responsibilities include:

• Owning the content strategy and editorial roadmap for TimberU, Timber's educational library • Developing articles, guides, how-to resources, videos, and definitions covering business fundamentals, startups, entrepreneurial IP, Optioning, Packaging, and Building • Maintaining and expanding the Deal & Legal Glossary and related educational reference content • Building and managing a network of contributors (subject-matter experts, operators, advisors) for TimberU content • Ensuring the educational quality, accuracy, and accessibility of TimberU content for users at all experience levels • Tracking engagement with TimberU content and using it to inform content growth priorities • Structuring TimberU content so it's easy to browse, search, and reference from within the platform • Keeping content up to date as Timber's terminology, features, and processes evolve • Coordinating with the Product & Platform Lead on where and how TimberU content appears in the platform experience

Qualifications

Strong relevant experience matters more than a specific pedigree.

• Strong writing and content-creation skills; able to explain complex or unfamiliar concepts simply • Comfortable researching and synthesizing business, startup, and legal concepts for a general audience • Experience with content strategy, education, or knowledge-base work is a plus, but not required • Organized and able to manage a content calendar and contributor relationships • Genuine interest in entrepreneurship and small-business topics

What “Wins” Look Like for this role

Concrete markers that this role is succeeding at Timber's current stage:

• A foundational library of TimberU articles, guides, video content, and glossary entries live on the platform • New users able to understand Optioning, Packaging, and Building without outside help • A small, active network of contributors adding credible educational content • TimberU content measurably reducing user confusion and support questions about how Timber works • TimberU established as a reason people trust and return to the platform

Expected Time Commitment

Hours as needed, reflecting Timber's current early development stage. There is no fixed weekly hour requirement; the TUPL is expected to commit whatever time is reasonably needed to meet the responsibilities above. This commitment is expected to increase as Timber reaches key funding or traction milestones.

Remote / Work Arrangement

Remote, with core collaboration hours coordinated with the CEO and founding team.

Communication Expectations

Weekly 1:1 with the CEO, participation in the founding-team leadership sync, and prompt (same-business-day) responsiveness on the Company's primary communication channel during agreed working hours.

Outside Activities

Because this is an hours-as-needed engagement, TUPL may hold other employment, consulting engagements, or business activities, provided they do not directly compete with Timber, do not create a conflict of interest, and do not interfere with the availability and responsiveness this role requires. Any potential conflict should be disclosed to, and approved in advance by, the CEO.

At-Will Relationship

This role is engaged on an at-will basis. Either the TUPL or the Company may terminate the relationship at any time, with or without cause and with or without notice. Nothing in this document guarantees continued engagement for any specific period, notwithstanding the vesting schedule described above.

Confidentiality & IP Assignment

As a condition of this role, the TUPL is required to execute Timber's Confidential Information and Invention Assignment Agreement (“CIIAA”) prior to or concurrent with starting work. Under the CIIAA, all inventions, work product, and intellectual property created in connection with Timber are assigned to the Company, and the Company's confidential information (including marketplace, listing, and deal data) is protected during and after the engagement.
