NYC Market Lead, Startups

Supermomos is hiring for the role of
NYC Market Lead, Startups
to support and grow our New York City flagship. This is an
entry-level, high-ownership
, and
revenue-focused role with sales and partner ownership
.

You’ll support sponsor-funded programs, own partner outreach and follow-ups, and help ensure our NYC community runs smoothly while scaling sustainably. This role involves real responsibility early on — including driving partner conversations to clear yes/no outcomes.

If you’re not excited by outreach, follow-ups, and closing conversations, this role is likely not a fit.

We’re deeply embedded in the tech & VC ecosystem and are happy to coach — but we’re looking for someone who is
hungry, proactive, and willing to do the unglamorous work well
.

What you'll do:

Programs & Partnerships (Revenue Ownership)

• Own sponsor and partner conversations, renewals, and follow-ups
• Actively support deal progression by helping build partnership materials and proposals
• Track partner engagement, identify opportunities to deepen partnerships
• Maintain a simple pipeline view of active partner conversations and next actions

Community & Ecosystem

• Attend NYC tech and VC events and represent Supermomos externally
• Build relationships with founders, investors, and community builders
• Engage members, gather feedback, and support light user research

Operations & Execution

• Support end-to-end execution of events and programs, ensuring partner expectations are met
• Assist with setup, registration, hosting, and on-the-ground logistics
• Help ensure a high-quality experience for partners and attendees

Background:

• Recent graduate (or graduating soon) preferred
• Some exposure to startups, community, events, or partnerships is a plus
• Interest in B2B sales or revenue-adjacent work is strongly preferred

Traits:

• Great attitude and initiative, good work ethic and communication skills
• Passionate about building communities, consumer / tech, and learning
• Comfort with ambiguity, change, and fast pace
• Loves attending events and meeting new people

The "Animal" Test

We look for people who are
animals
.

Paul Graham describes an animal as someone who takes their work a little too seriously — someone who passes from professional into obsessive.

What it means specifically depends on the job:

• a salesperson who just won't take no for an answer
• a hacker who will stay up till 4:00 AM rather than go to bed leaving code with a bug in it
• a PR person who will cold-call New York Times reporters on their cell phones
• a graphic designer who feels physical pain when something is two millimeters out of place

If that resonates, you’ll likely do well here :)

To be considered, you will need to complete a short 10–15 min task before the first interview (details will be sent after application).
