What You’ll Do
Build a Finely-Tuned Calendar of Value-Add Events

Design and run a recurring calendar of community events and formats that actually earn people’s time — workshops, new company idea brainstorms, founders lunches, innovation days, expert conversations. Not generic happy hours..

Every event needs a reason to exist: a topic worth debating, a person worth hearing from, a connection worth making. If it wouldn’t hold a room of skeptical, busy builders, it doesn’t go on the calendar.

Own the room once people are in it. You’re comfortable hosting — reading a crowd, keeping a conversation moving, making sure the right people meet each other.

Constantly Activate and Replenish a Vital Talent Pipeline

Work in lockstep with our talent and investment teams: when we identify someone exceptional — a researcher, an engineer, a future founder — you’re the mechanism that gets them into our world immediately, whether that’s an event invite, a residency conversation, or an introduction that matters to them.

Build the lightweight tools that make that possible at scale: use AI coding agents to build a tracker, automate a follow-up sequence, or score and prioritize who to reach out to next, instead of running it all from memory and spreadsheets.

Turn “we should meet this person” into an actual touchpoint within days, not months.

Help make our community itself a reason talented people say yes to a conversation with us.

Run Our Residency Program

Own day-to-day operations of our Founder Residency — admissions coordination, onboarding, and the rhythm of the year for the ~30 teams building in our space.

Be the primary point of contact for resident founders: the person who knows what everyone’s working on, what they need, and who else in the building can help.

Continuously improve the program itself — what’s working, what’s not, and where it should evolve year over year.

Own Our Social & Content Presence

Build and run Company Ventures’ content and social media presence. This isn’t an occasional task tacked onto the job — it’s a core part of what we’re hiring for.

Turn what happens in our space and our residency into content worth other people’s attention: recaps, founder spotlights, event highlights, and the kind of posts that make people want to be in the room next time.

Have a real point of view on what’s working across platforms right now, and the range to produce it yourself — writing, photo, video, editing, and using AI tools to move faster without losing your own voice.

Requirements
A natural host. You like bringing people together and you’re good at it (i.e. reading a room, keeping energy up, making sure the interesting person in the corner gets pulled into the conversation).

Genuine taste in programming. You have a point of view on what makes an event worth attending versus forgettable, and you can defend it.

Proven execution of brand-building social media and content. Show us what you’ve made — a following you’ve grown, a content series you’ve run, a voice you’ve built.

Comfortable building with AI tools. You’re comfortable enough with tools like Claude Code or Cursor to build a lightweight tracker, automate an outreach sequence, or put together a simple workflow yourself, rather than waiting on someone else to build it for you.

Organized enough to run a full events calendar and a year-long residency cohort at the same time without dropping details.

Comfortable working across the firm — with the investment team, the talent team, founders, and outside partners — since this role touches all of them.

Excited to be in person every day at our offices at 22 Vanderbilt.

Nice to Have

A demonstrated personal or professional social media following or body of content work

Experience building lightweight internal tools or automations — even informally: a personal project, a scraper, a workflow you’ve automated for yourself or a past job

Experience in talent, recruiting, or another people-facing function

Photo/video/design skills — shooting and editing your own content, not just directing someone else who does
