About Bubbl
Bubbl is building the connected housing layer designed for events and shared travel experiences for a new generation of modern community-driven travel. Born from the Founder’s direct experience of running shared ski cabins and high‑end luxury helicopter ski trips, Bubbl is solving the gap of people wanting to connect meaningfully with like‑minded people at events whilst getting a better deal than staying alone in the process. In a Bubbl, the stay is very much a part of the event social experience.
Think: Airbnb books beds. LinkedIn builds networks. Bubbl does both.
We power curated pop‑up communities where like‑minded people stay together in houses, or hotel blocks for conferences, festivals, retreats, and brand activations.
Now we’re looking for ambitious, network‑hungry, partnership and community‑obsessed operators to help us expand in LA, SF, Austin, and NYC .
The Opportunity
This is not a “sit in the corner and post on Instagram” internship.
This is a front‑row seat to building the next generation event housing and community platform , where you will work directly with Bubbl’s Founder and leadership team with collective experience from Airbnb, Uber, Meta, Open Table, Virgin, Match, LinkedIn and other Silicon Valley household names.
As a Community Partnerships Manager, your mission is simple:
Find and build relationships to co‑host events with other stakeholders. Build partnerships that will drive sign‑ups and generate revenue. Grow your own reputation in the process.
You’ll work directly with the Founder and core team to activate business / entrepreneurial/ startup, and tech communities, accelerators, brands, crypto groups, founder houses, and cultural communities in your city.
Your playground:
