About Curba
Curba is a Canadian peer-to-peer rental marketplace where people list their tools, camping gear, electronics, and equipment for others to rent. Think Airbnb, but for your stuff. We're based in Calgary and growing across Alberta.
The Role
We're looking for 1-2 outgoing, self-motivated people to help us sign up hosts (people who list items for rent) in southwest Edmonton. This is a ground-level marketing role - you'll be talking to real people face-to-face, not sitting behind a desk.
What You'll Do
- Visit homeowners in target SW Edmonton neighbourhoods (Windermere, Terwillegar, Riverbend, Rutherford, Magrath Heights) with marketing materials
- Talk to shoppers at hardware stores (Home Depot, Canadian Tire) on weekends
- Attend community garage sales and campground areas to pitch Curba to potential hosts
- Help people create their first listing on the spot using the Curba app
- Distribute flyers at community leagues, bulletin boards, and local events
- Track sign-ups and report weekly results
What We're Looking For
- Comfortable talking to strangers - you don't freeze at a front door
- Reliable, self-directed, and honest - you'll be working independently
- Smartphone with data plan (needed to demo the app)
- Available weekends (Saturday is the highest-conversion day)
- Bonus: experience in door-to-door sales, canvassing, brand ambassador work, or real estate
You Don't Need
- A degree
- Previous tech experience
- To know anything about rental marketplaces (we'll train you)
What We Provide
- Printed flyers, postcards, and business cards
- Training on the Curba app and the 15-second pitch
- A list of target neighbourhoods with demographic data
- A clear earnings cheat sheet you can show homeowners
- Flexibility to set your own schedule within target hours
Compensation
- $15/hour base (depending on experience)
- $5 bonus per verified host sign-up (host creates a listing that goes live) for a minimum of 3 listings
- Top performers: opportunity to lead Edmonton expansion full-time
Schedule
- 10-20 hours/week
- Best hours: Saturday/Sunday 10am-3pm (hardware stores and door-to-door), Friday afternoons (campgrounds)
- Flexible within those windows - you manage your own route
