Founding Growth & Community Lead

Clarasight•Boston, MA

About The Position

Join us in building the leading AI-Powered Mission Control for Corporate Travel. Some of the world's most recognizable companies, representing over $4T in market value, rely on Clarasight's software to reduce risks, save costs, protect revenues, and manage emissions aligned with business objectives and sustainability goals. We believe the Travel Manager has never been more important than they are today. AI, cost pressures, efficiency requirements, and sustainability are reshaping the role. Travel leaders are being asked to operate as strategic partners, but they've lacked the tools, skills, confidence, and peer networks to lead that shift. If we elevate and enable Travel Managers as leaders, we earn trust, relevance, and durable demand. This role exists to help build that engine, starting with community and live experiences. This is a growth role, but not a traditional one. You'll work closely with founders to design, build, and run the growth channels we already know work, then help turn them into repeatable systems. You'll also partner closely with Sales to drive the pipeline, with shared ownership of outcomes. Community and events are the non-negotiable core of this role — everything else should reinforce these engines. Founders are deeply involved and will partner directly with you on programming, presence, and strategy.
