Jobbeschreibung

Overview

As Community & Platform Associate at Point Nine, you’ll be the engine behind the scenes - making sure our founder experience is seamless, thoughtful, and genuinely useful. You’ll help keep our Platform efforts running tightly - operationally, logistically, and creatively.

You’ll run platform ops, own projects, and ensure our community initiatives are well-organised and well-executed. You’ll work closely with Laura (Director of Platform) and take the lead on getting things done - from founder onboarding to event planning to keeping our online community active and engaged.

This is a hands-on, highly operational role. You’ll be trusted with full ownership of your work. Some days will be spreadsheet-deep, others people-facing - and often, you’ll be the one to quietly fix things no one else has noticed yet.

Responsibilities

• Keep things organised. Track timelines, manage budgets, keep systems tidy (CRM etc.), and help us run a tight ship.
• Plan and run events. Summits, Dinners, Meetups, Masterclasses and more - you’ll be in charge of handling logistics, invites, speaker prep, and on-site delivery.
• Support founder experience: Coordinate onboarding, newsletters, Slack/WhatsApp groups, and matchmaking efforts - ensuring founders get the right info at the right time.
• Manage partnerships & perks. Own vendor relationships and help our portfolio access useful, relevant tools and deals.
• Go the extra mile. Find thoughtful, creative ways to make the founder experience feel personal and memorable. Contribute to content and comms, and support our expert and advisory network.
• Fix what’s broken (or boring). Notice what’s not working, suggest improvements, and take the lead on making them happen.
• Be a force multiplier. Support the Director of Platform across broader platform projects - and fully own plenty of your own.

About you

• You’re a doer - you get real satisfaction from saying, “I made this happen.”
• You’re dependable. If you say you’ll do it, you’ll do it - and do it well.
• You are quick on your feet. You don’t get stuck, you figure it out.
• You’re creative and resourceful. Always thinking ahead, always finding a way.
• You have great taste and sound judgment. You aim for excellence in every detail.
• You’re people-savvy. Empathetic, thoughtful, and a joy to collaborate with.
• You’re independent but collaborative. You can own a project fully, but you’re also a strong team player.
• You don’t need a big title to care. You just want to do great work that matters.

Qualifications

• We don’t require a specific degree or credential, but we do expect you to bring a few years of experience in fast-paced environments - ideally early-stage startups or VC - so you can hit the ground running from day one.
• Experiences that could set you up for success include marketing or community-focused roles, founder associate positions, or any job where you had to juggle responsibilities, move quickly, and figure things out from scratch.
• Empathy for the work our founders do. Understanding their challenges, and being motivated to make their lives easier, is at the core of everything we do on the platform team.
• This isn’t a role for someone who prefers “strategy” over action. If you thrive on running things, fixing things, and getting a lot done alongside great people, we’d love to hear from you.
