Brand Ambassador

Portland, Oregon - Brand Ambassador – Local Café Pilot (Short-Term) About Us PROOF Display is a hardware startup building a countertop device for local businesses. It shows their live Google rating, Instagram followers, and review count in real time — sitting on the counter, quietly building their reputation every single day. We're launching our first pilot in Portland and need a local ambassador to help us introduce the product to the city's independent café community. What This Actually Is This is not a sales job. There is no quota pressure, no commission structure, no cold calling. You are simply visiting independent cafés and offering their owner something free — a $499 device at no cost for 30 days, no commitment, no credit card, nothing to sign up for. Most owners will be curious. Some will say yes on the spot. Some will say not right now. Either is completely fine. You are the first human face of PROOF in Portland. The job is to be warm, genuine, and represent the brand well. Your Responsibilities Visit independent cafés, juice bars, and artisan bakeries across Portland neighborhoods (we'll give you a curated list of 40 target venues) Introduce yourself and PROOF Display to the owner or manager Leave a device with any merchant who wants to try it (we handle the tech setup — you just need to be there) Film the unboxing moment on your iPhone when a merchant says yes Capture ambient footage at each location — device on the counter, morning atmosphere, customers, the café vibe Visit active merchants once every two weeks to say hello, see how things are going, and grab fresh footage Send a short update to our team after each outing — what you heard, what felt good, what didn't Who You Are You live in Portland, OR and know the neighborhood café scene well You have your own car and are comfortable driving across NE, NW, SE, and Downtown You are naturally warm and easy to talk to — people open up to you quickly You have some background in hospitality, events, community work, or anything that involves face-to-face people skills You are comfortable walking into a new place and starting a conversation with a stranger You can shoot clean, steady iPhone video — nothing fancy, just natural and authentic You are reliable, organized, and communicate proactively
