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.

- 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

- Comfortable engaging C-suite and technical stakeholders.
- Can manage budgets, vendors, timelines without hand-holding.

Preferred
- Deep network in AI / SaaS / enterprise tech.
- Experience running curated founder or executive events.
- Background in partnerships, ecosystem, or community-led growth.
