Founder Associate (Growth & Partnerships) | Brderless
A-Players•San Francisco, CA
•Onsite
About The Position
Our client, Brderless, is building a curated network for the tech ecosystem, bringing founders, operators, and investors together through invitation-only dinners, breakfasts, workshops, and hackathons. What makes the company different is that curation itself is the product. Every room is intentionally designed around who should meet, why they should meet, and what can come from those relationships. In just 18 months, Brderless has grown to nearly $1M in revenue, welcomed 5,000+ vetted members, and built a 15,000-person tech newsletter, all with a team of one.
Requirements
- You are good with people and good at systems.
- You are comfortable being visible. Posting, hosting, introducing yourself to a founder you have never met. The back-office version of this role does not work.
- You have taste and standards. Our members are serious people and they can tell instantly when something is sloppy. Curation is our product.
- You work with high context and low instruction. Nobody here is going to sequence your week.
- You are hungry. We would rather have someone early in their career who wants this badly than someone senior who has done it before and is coasting.
- You take blunt feedback well and would rather build the machine than be photographed next to it.
- You care about tech and founders specifically. Throwing a good party and caring about this ecosystem are different skills, and we need both.
- You do not need a network yet. You do need the willingness to build one in public.
Nice To Haves
- You have already handled sponsorship or partnership money, at any scale. A $5,000 hackathon sponsorship counts
- An existing footprint in the San Francisco or New York tech scene
- Newsletter, podcast, or content production behind you
- Experience with large-format events, 150 people and up
- A side project you built because nobody else was going to build it
Responsibilities
- End-to-end production: sourcing and vetting attendees, running the day, and the follow-up that turns a room into a relationship
- Curation judgement: knowing who belongs at a founder breakfast, who belongs at a builder hackathon, and why
- Being the person in the room when our founder cannot be. Not every week, but when the calendar collides
- One source of truth on who is in the network, what they are building, and what they need
- CRM hygiene, intro tracking, and warm-intro routing that runs without anyone remembering to run it
- A standard follow-up sequence after every single room
- Playbooks, templates, and AI-assisted workflows, so the tenth room costs a fraction of the first
- An honest audit of where our current process breaks, and the authority to fix it
- Coordinating the volunteers who help us on the ground in New York
- Room recaps, newsletter operations, and the content pipeline
- You will post publicly under the Brderless name, and under your own
- We want your ideas and your face, not just your editing. Our founder is stepping into public view over the next few months and wants someone doing it alongside her
Benefits
- Some travel, mainly to cover rooms our founder cannot be at. Not every week
- Early mornings and occasional evenings come with running breakfasts and dinners
- Full-time, working closely and often in person with the founder
