Community Manager (San Francisco)
About The Position
We’re hiring our first US-based Community Manager to build Granola’s community in the Bay! Hey! We’re team Granola 👋 We’re building the leading AI-powered notepad for people in back-to-back meetings, a product that’s spreading through teams and redefining how knowledge is captured and used. We help teams turn messy call notes into structured insight, so they can spend more time focusing on what’s important and less time on admin. The Opportunity We're hiring our first Community Manager in the US. You'll be among our first hires in San Francisco, reporting directly to Shre, our Head of Business, who built Granola's community presence in London from scratch. Your job is to build the community engine that makes Granola the default tool for every startup in the Bay. That means creating events people talk about, building relationships with the accelerators and VCs that shape the ecosystem, and making sure our power users feel heard and know they're part of something special - through our product online and how we make them feel in the real world.
Requirements
- 3-5 years in community management, venture capital, partnerships, or startup ecosystems
- Proven experience running events for a tech audience
- Comfortable communicating with executives and founders
- US-based and able to work from San Francisco 5 days a week (no visa sponsorship available)
- Embody the core Granola traits - hardworking, kind, and incredibly ambitious
- Are genuinely obsessed with the tech ecosystem - you're always reading, listening, and learning about the best and fastest-growing startups, founders, and operators
- Roll up your sleeves and get things done; you're as comfortable emailing a unicorn founder as you are carrying pizza boxes to make sure your event attendees are well fed. No task is beneath you
- Are high-agency - people have told you it's one of your strengths
- Sweat the details because you know that's what makes events and partnerships stand out in a sea of generic experiences
- Are creative, interested and constantly thinking about what could be a big hit for your community
- You get energy from meeting people, you know how to handle a crowd, and when needed, you can be politely firm when saying no
- Build AI workflows to automate the small stuff and scale your impact beyond just one person
Responsibilities
- Make Granola's SF office synonymous with the forefront of tech in the city
- Partner with the best companies and founders to host incredible events
- Own events end-to-end: concept, partnerships, logistics, promotion, and follow-up.
- Build and maintain deep partnerships with the top accelerators and VCs in the Bay (i.e. YC, Neo, HF0, SPC)
- Be viscerally present when new cohorts land. Your goal is to make Granola the first tool founders reach for on day one
- Act as the bridge between our Bay Area community and our product team - surfacing what users love, what frustrates them, and what they wish existed
- Your job is to build and accelerate the community flywheel: events create relationships, relationships drive adoption, adoption creates advocates, and you keep the whole thing spinning
- Curate executive dinners and intimate founder gatherings
- Own and grow our online community, alongside our CX team
- Build out our power user program - how we delight the people who love Granola most
- Shape Granola's community strategy globally, not just in SF
Benefits
- equity as one of our first US team members
