Job description

This role asks someone to run the company's San Francisco community and events from the ground up, turning scattered experiments into a steady program. The person comes up with event ideas, curates guest lists, handles speaker and partner communication, runs logistics, and markets each event so rooms fill. A strong candidate has years of running tech events consistently, is comfortable with founders and executives, and has ties across Bay Area accelerators and investors.

How it fits the AI era

The product is an AI notepad, so the community work is about showing the tool in person and letting people feel the brand. AI can help draft copy, sort invite lists, and handle follow ups, but the draw of a room depends on taste in picking guests, hosting, and small details that make an event memorable. The human side, reading a crowd and building trust with founders, stays central.

How it builds AI experience

Working here means seeing firsthand how professionals use an AI notepad in back to back meetings, which builds judgment about where AI helps and where it gets in the way. A candidate can strengthen that by getting fluent with AI meeting and note tools and by watching how early users adopt them. Ties to accelerators and founders give a view of how new AI teams actually work day to day.

Worth showing

• Running tech events consistently
• Bay Area founder network
• Speaker and partner comms
• Event marketing and copy
