About Aiven

Build relationships with the Bay Area's VC, accelerator, and founder community, and feed those relationships into the meetup and partner network.

Dogged and resourceful: an out-of-the-box thinker who's genuinely proactive, doesn't wait to be told what to do and doesn't let blockers stop them. When the obvious path is closed they find another way forward

Responsibilities

• Own and run Aiven's Bay Area community meetup program, deciding the format and cadence, sourcing speakers, and recruiting co-host partners.
• Set the strategy for how Aiven builds brand presence in the Bay Area, deciding who to know and where to show up.

Requirements

• Enough technical fluency in AI, cloud or data infrastructure to hold a credible conversation, vet talks and earn respect from engineers. This is someone with technical chops who can find and win over the right people in a new market
• Senior-level autonomy: you'll be the sole on-the-ground owner of multiple concurrent workstreams and expected to set direction as much as execute against it
• Existing relationships in the Bay Area AI-native/startup, VC or open-source data community
