About The Position

n8n is an open workflow orchestration platform built for the new era of AI, offering technical teams the freedom of code with the speed of no-code to automate faster, smarter, and without limits. Backed by a fiercely inventive community and over 500 builder-approved integrations, n8n aims to change how people bring systems together and scale ideas for impact. Since its founding in 2019, n8n has grown into a diverse team of over 220 members working across Europe and the US, with its center of gravity in Berlin. The company has cultivated a community of more than 650,000 active developers and builders, earned 145k+ GitHub stars, been ranked as one of Europe’s most promising privately held SaaS startups, and raised $240m to date, reaching a $2.5bn valuation. The company encourages applicants to try n8n and share their first workflow. We are in a defining moment of an incredible journey. Come and build with us. We are looking for a passionate Community Manager to take ownership of n8n’s community presence on the US West Coast. This role is central to how the community grows, involving supporting ambassadors, improving event quality, and helping more people connect with n8n in a meaningful way. A significant part of the job is ensuring the community doesn’t just grow but remains valuable and authentic as it scales. The n8n community is scaling from a group of highly engaged builders to a global network, with the US, and especially the West Coast, being central to that momentum. This role exists to help shape that growth in a way that stays true to what made the community work in the first place: real people, genuine enthusiasm, and high-quality in-person experiences. You will be stepping in at a moment where there’s already strong pull—and a lot of room to define how it evolves.
