About The Position

This role is responsible for building Overtone’s founding community in New York City. You will build relationships and leverage networks and communities; responding to early demand by building a waitlist of sought-after singles excited about a better way to date. New York comes first, but you'll build a playbook we can repeat city-by-city as we grow. This role reports to our Head of Communications.

Requirements

5+ years growing a consumer, membership, hospitality or lifestyle brand through community, partnerships and word of mouth.
An established network in New York across worlds like founders and operators, arts and design, food, music, members' clubs and social scenes, or a proven ability to get inside them fast.
Experience building referral, ambassador, scout or partnership programs from day one and running them well.
The instincts and vibe of a great host: warmth, respectful, discretion, and the ability to curate a group of good, kind, interesting people.
You’re known among your friends as a connector, and maybe even a matchmaker.
Comfort and experience in an early-stage startup environment.
A hands-on executor who can build a strategy but will also hit the pavement and knock on doors to make things happen.
Aligned to our core values of connection, simplicity, and intentionality.

Responsibilities

Design and run a scouting program; recruiting and supporting a small team of scouts to identify the people who belong in Overtone’s early community.
Build relationships with communities, clubs, hosts, and venues that connect the people we’re looking for, and develop partnerships and shared events to drive early growth.
Set the bar for the intentional daters we want to bring in, and do the personal, direct outreach it takes to build a community, with a focus on building a diverse pool of exceptional people.
Partner with our Membership Manager to ensure all new members have a seamless, premium experience and feel supported as they try something new.
