Job Description
Role Overview
We are building a highly curated community of founders and CEOs in New York. This role owns that effort end-to-end. You will be responsible for identifying the right leaders, hosting exceptional small-format events, and building durable, trust-based relationships over time. This is a high-autonomy role for someone who is comfortable operating independently, has strong judgment, and can build credibility with senior operators.
Key Responsibilities
- Build and operate a curated NYC-based founder and CEO community.
- Plan and host a monthly dinner or equivalent event (10–15 executives), owning sourcing, invitations, logistics, and execution.
- Define and apply clear criteria to select founders and CEOs who are strong long-term relationship and deal-fit candidates.
- Run events with a high-touch, professional standard; ensure every attendee has a strong experience and meaningful interactions.
- Develop and maintain ongoing one-to-one relationships with top-fit members through consistent follow-up and engagement.
- Design and host additional community experiences beyond dinners (e.g., small-group outings, talks, or private sessions).
- Maintain a lightweight CRM or relationship tracking system to manage contacts, notes, and follow-ups.
Ideal Candidate Profile
- Experience in community-building, partnerships, executive events, founder relations, private networks, or adjacent roles.
- Strong network in NYC across founders, CEOs, operators, or senior executives.
- Excellent judgment around people selection, discretion, and relationship management.
- Highly organized and execution-oriented; able to run events smoothly end-to-end.
- Naturally personable and credible with senior leaders; comfortable in 1:1 and small-group settings.
- Self-directed and entrepreneurial; comfortable building something from scratch.
Why This Role
- High ownership and autonomy in building a foundational asset of the firm.
- Direct exposure to founders, CEOs, and future opportunities.
- Opportunity to shape a long-term platform that compounds in value over time.
- Competitive compensation with meaningful upside tied to the success of the platform.
