The role.

We've listed a few things you'll be responsible for below, but it will also be your job to determine which of these we should spend resources on and which we should not. Your success in this role will be assessed based on your ability to execute the above initiatives, introduce new ones and leverage a variety of growth tactics to expand our user base and help more and more folks turn their intentions into actions.

- Partner with community team to plan and execute great community events
- Lead launch communications for company announcements and updates

If we're both excited to continue, you'll have another video call, this time with Tommy. We are going to do a chronological interview and walk through each job you’ve had. For each job, we will ask you five core questions: What were you hired to do? What accomplishments are you most proud of? What were some low points during that job? Who were the people you worked with? Why did you leave that job? In this conversation, will want to understand your goals, interests, and motivations (30-45 mins).
Virtual Onsite Interviews.
You will have the opportunity to meet cross-functional team members of our team so you can get to know us better. We are looking to see how you've worked with different stakeholders and perspectives while working towards a common goal.
