Community Manager

Modal • San Francisco, CA

36d • $120,000 - $160,000 • Onsite

About The Position

Modal is the cloud platform built for AI. We're used by the world's leading AI labs, startups, and researchers to run compute-intensive workloads: training runs, inference, sandboxed code execution, and more. We're hiring a Community Manager in SF to make Modal a fixture in the AI developer community. You'll bring developers together through meetups, hackathons, and events of our own, and build the kind of community that keeps showing up. You know how to rinse and repeat the process, but always with a creative bend.

Requirements

• A track record running events or building community. You've organized meetups, conferences, hackathons, or similar, and can point to specific ones that worked.
• Plugged into the SF AI and developer scene, or able to get there fast. You know which companies, projects, and people are worth partnering with — and which trends and movements are worth jumping on, inside and outside of tech (e.g. agents, mahjong, board game nights).
• Strong written and verbal communication. You'll represent Modal to developers, partners, and speakers, sometimes on stage.
• Good judgment about what's worth doing. Not every event or sponsorship is worth the time, and you can tell the difference.
• Organized and self-directed. This role runs many events and partner relationships at once.
• Comfortable working in person in SF in a fast-paced startup environment.

Nice To Haves

• Existing relationships across the SF AI ecosystem: companies, open-source projects, DevRel teams, other community organizers.
• Experience in developer marketing or DevRel.
• Experience building a community-led or ambassador program.
• Familiarity with Modal or the AI infrastructure space.

Responsibilities

• Co-host developer meetups with partners in our ecosystem. Find the right speakers, build the relationships, and run the events together.
• Sponsor hackathons that attract highly technical engineers and researchers in ML and AI Infra.
• Own and grow the webinar program: Partner with Modal engineers and FDEs to identify topics, speakers, promotion, and turning attendance into funnel growth.
• Run creative events that break the standard.
• Help community members run their own Modal events. Build the playbooks, templates, and support that let other people host meetups under the Modal banner, so events scale past what one person can run.
• Turn events into content and campaigns. Work with Marketing so every event produces recaps, clips, talks, and stories that reach people who weren't in the room.
• Own events end to end: venues, partners, speakers, logistics, promotion, day-of, and follow-up.
• Track what's working: attendance, downstream signups and adoption and users within target accounts. Do more of what pulls and cut what doesn't.
