WHO WE ARE
Our founder considers himself more of an artist than a technologist. As a college dropout, he knows that the best people and ideas come from unexpected places. We’re building a company passionate about changing the way GenZ creates and discovers amazing new experiences.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
As our Head of Community, you’ll be critical in helping us establish our presence as an online-offline product. This role is truly a combination of experiential marketing and community building.
We’re all about experiences, and community is absolutely core to our product, so this is a key role. You’ll have the opportunity to roll up your sleeves, brainstorm, and execute ways to attract, grow, and nurture our GenZ userbase.
Experiential marketing is an opportunity to bring together the community you'll help create IRL (in-real-life). As such, you’ll lead the charge in developing our marketing strategy with a focus on creating unforgettable events and experiences. You'll be the first and last set of eyes on every detail of an event, from helping to brainstorm themes based on company goals, to sourcing vendors and venues, to fully executing the event.
You’ll create and lead the execution of this strategy, including building out and managing a Community Ambassador team and ensuring every user has an amazing experience on Realtime—both online and IRL.
You will also find and work with creators and develop creative briefs.
This role is hybrid with a combination of in-person work in our New York City office and partially from home. It will require up to 50-60% travel. You will report to the CEO and will collaborate closely with the Design and Operations teams.
