The Role
Own and scale our ecosystem leverage engine, building high-trust relationships with frontier AI and SaaS companies, architecting curated, high-signal experiences, and converting strategic proximity into qualified enterprise pipeline, brand gravity, and long-term market positioning.
What You’ll Do

- Build direct lines to founders, CTOs, Heads of AI, and Talent leaders.
- Architect high-signal, curated events (private dinners > mass conferences).
- Convert ecosystem relationships into qualified enterprise pipeline.
- Orchestrate co-marketing with frontier companies (e.g., Deel, Ramp, Rippling, Brex, Webflow, Anthropic, OpenAI, Databricks).
- Design audience composition intentionally — ICP-only rooms.
- Own full-stack event ops: venue, sponsorships, branding, sequencing, follow-up.
- Run precision outbound before and after events (email, LinkedIn, X, private communities).
- Track signal: intros → meetings → pipeline → revenue.
- Feed market intelligence back to GTM + leadership.
What We’re Looking For
- Has built pipeline through ecosystem, not just cold outbound.
- Knows how to get into rooms that matter.
- Strong instinct for positioning in AI / SaaS / technical markets.
- Operates fast, structured, high-ownership.
- Exceptional communicator (concise, strategic, persuasive).
- Comfortable engaging C-suite and technical stakeholders.
- Can manage budgets, vendors, timelines without hand-holding.
- Native in LinkedIn, X, Slack/Discord, CRM systems.
Preferred
- Deep network in AI / SaaS / enterprise tech.
- Experience running curated founder or executive events.
- Background in partnerships, ecosystem, or community-led growth.
- Has collaborated with frontier AI or high-growth SaaS companies.
