Job description

Community & Partnerships, Growth

Known is a matchmaker that talks to users and supports them like a friend. Our mission is to empower humanity by applying general intelligence to human connection. Users join Known by telling us their life story.

On average, our new users talk to our AI voice agent for 27 minutes, giving us a uniquely intimate context that enables our matchmaking.

We are a team of engineers who've created some of the most widely used AI-driven consumer products including Uber Eats, Uber and Afterpay.

We love to work hard, with a high degree of autonomy and ownership. We work together in-person in Cow Hollow, San Francisco.

Are you a good fit?

We are looking for the top 0.1% community and partnerships talent to work alongside our founders in San Francisco as we sprint from our $10M seed round toward launching across the US.

• 1-4 years of experience in community, partnerships, brand marketing, or events at a consumer company

• A systems-minded operator who embraces ambiguity

• Strong communicator (written and verbal), including in a room full of strangers

Strong specialty characteristics

• You've built a community for a beloved consumer brand from zero

• You've negotiated and closed partnerships with venues, event series, and brand sponsors, and know what a good deal looks like on both sides

• You've run recurring IRL event series for young adults

The Work

We expect you to own a piece of Known's growth. It's up to you to decide what part of Known you're most excited about working on.

This could be:

• Building our launch-city events playbook, the event partners, sponsors, and ambassadors that turn a new market into 10,000 users

• Defining Known's brand through creative storytelling

• Engaging with our early users digitally and through planned in-person events

Our Investors

We're backed by Eurie Kim and Kirsten Green at Forerunner Ventures (the investors behind Decagon, Faire, and Oura), NFX and PearVC.
