Founding Community and Events Lead

Responsibilities

• Own events end to end (concept, logistics, guest lists, day-of execution, follow-up) at real volume.
• Turn every event into social content that extends its reach far beyond the room, and grow a following around it.
• Activate your London network from day one and keep widening it: founders, VCs, and operators who show up because your event is the one they can’t miss.
• Connect the dots from events and content to awareness and pipeline, and measure what’s actually working.
• Work out of our London HQ alongside the UK GTM team, reporting to our GTM Lead, Kaoru.

Requirements

• Have run event series at high volume and amplified them on socials with real, measurable reach. You’ve lived both halves of the loop.
• Come from an events, community, or content role at a startup, fintech, or VC-adjacent company, ideally right here in London.
• Are a recognised connector in the London ecosystem: people seek you out for intros and access, and they discover you through your content.
• Have built something from zero (a community, a meet-up, an event series, a following) as a hands-on doer, not from a management seat.
• Can see the line from a great dinner to a warm pipeline, and you’re comfortable being measured on it.
• Love the scrappy, high-ownership, 0-to-1 reality of an early-stage startup and want equity upside to match.

Nice to have

• You’ve run events or communities at a VC fund or accelerator and amplified founder dinners, demo days, or portfolio moments on social media.
• You were the first community/events/partnerships hire somewhere and built the function from scratch.
• You’ve tied community work to sign-ups, acquisition, or partnerships with numbers to show for it.
• You’re genuinely excited about AI and the future of hiring.

Benefits

• Compensation: £50 - 80K base plus meaningful equity.
