Community Manager Job at Riyom Technologies in San Francisco

We’re looking for a Community Manager to design, launch, and scale an IRL+online events program for Mercor’s expert community. You’ll own everything from networking events, hackathons, and large-scale summits, starting in the U.S. and expanding worldwide. This is a highly cross‑functional, external‑facing role for a builder who loves operations, community, and the craft of high‑caliber experiences.

What you’ll do

• Own the end‑to‑end events engine: strategy, budgets, timelines, venues, vendor/AV, run‑of‑show, contingency plans, and post‑mortems.
• Community building at scale: create playbooks, host kits, and an ambassador program that empowers experts to run meetups under Mercor’s brand.
• Marketing and growth: drive audience development, landing pages, email/SMS, social, partnerships, and press opportunities to fill rooms with the right audience.
• Content and storytelling: recruit speakers, moderate sessions, and turn events into reusable content — highlight reels, quotes, and case studies.
• Cross‑functional collaboration: partner with Product and Engineering on demos and launches, and with our Events lead and Ops on logistics and scale.
• Partner ecosystem: build relationships with universities, professional societies, conferences, and labs for co‑hosted programming.

About you

• Operator at heart: you’ve run complex, large‑scale events and can move from venue contracts to speaker prep without dropping details.
• Community‑first: high EQ, excellent communication, comfortable on stage and one‑to‑one.
• Tech and AI fluent: experience in a technology environment and up‑to‑date on AI trends.
• Marketing savvy: hands‑on with campaign planning, social media marketing, and brand consistency.
• Analytical: you define success up front, track metrics, and iterate based on data.
• Self‑starter: you’ve built something from zero — a company, a club, a conference, or a creator community.
• Education: Bachelor’s degree preferred. Top‑tier university a plus; or a degree in Business, Economics, Advertising, Marketing Analytics, or similar.
• Experience engaging professional audiences like physicians, lawyers, researchers, or senior engineers or academia like PhD and Master’s students.
• Comfortable on stage or on camera.
• Familiarity with tools like Circle, Airtable, Notion, Figma, Eventbrite/Luma/Splash, HubSpot/Marketo, and dashboarding tools.
