Launch House is a new kind of community for top founders and creators. We're a cross between SoHo House, Y Combinator, and WeWork β focused on bringing together high quality people and accelerating their careers through authentic connections.
Michael Houck (ex. Airbnb PM), Brett Goldstein (ex. Google M&A), and Jacob Peters (ex. Commsor cofounder) started Launch House in 2020 in response to the isolation felt during the Covid-19 pandemic.
We are funded by a growing list of incredible community-minded investors like Flybridge Capital and Balaji Srinivasan.
ABOUT the role
We're looking for a scrappy, entrepreneurially-minded operator and community manager to travel the world launching pop-up residencies, events, and other experiences for Launch House members and the global startup community. The ideal candidate has a background working in the startup world, deep empathy for the founder journey and loves to travel.
You will:
- Manage an ambitious calendar of activations and high profile + large events surrounding major conferences in significant tech hubs around the world
- Plan and execute 1-2 month pop-up Launch House residency programs in cities around the world
- Build hundreds of new relationships with some of the most ambitious people in the world in every city you land in
- Plan and execute major events, residencies, and other experiences for startup communities around the world
- Communicate with the local community or cohort via Discord, email and text.
- Leverage our product and remote operations teams to ensure a seamless experience β utilize URL to improve IRL.
- Coordinate with the landlords, cleaners, contractors, and other service workers to ensure a high quality end product
- Create content for Instagram. Keep folks up to date on what's happening at Launch House where you're activating by posting stories and posts regularly.
- Ultimately, ensure members have a high quality experience, unlike any other community they've ever been part of before. Member experience must be 10000%.
Our Team
We are a team of 10 and are committed to building a robust remote-friendly, diverse and inclusive workplace.
We use Slack, Discord, Notion, and Airtable to keep us moving fast and stay organized, and only have two weekly meetings: a Monday Kickoff and a casual Friday team chat that we call Tea Time π΅.
