About the role

What You’ll Do

  • Host and curate events: Plan and execute dinners, salons, and small-format gatherings that attract top venture-backed founders and GPs.
  • Foster 1:1 relationships: Build personal connections with attendees, becoming a trusted connector and resource in the community.
  • Own referral flywheels: Encourage and track peer-to-peer referrals, ensuring the right attribution back to your channel.
  • Leverage CRM rigorously: Log every relationship, event touchpoint, and referral in CRM; ensure accurate attribution and reporting.
  • Follow up with intent: Send personalized notes, share relevant content, and schedule 1:1s to deepen engagement beyond the event.
  • Performance reporting: Measure and communicate the ROI of your efforts (pipeline generated, conversion rates, referral multipliers, CAC payback).
  • Collaborate cross-functionally: Partner with Flex’s marketing, sales, and data teams to align messaging, share community insights, and optimize attribution strategies.
  • Represent Flex authentically: Act as the local face of Flex — knowledgeable about our product, our mission, and the needs of venture-backed founders/GPs.

What You Bring

  • 2–5 years of experience in venture capital, founder support, partnerships, or ecosystem/community-building roles.
  • Proven ability to host and lead high-value events that drive meaningful relationships.
  • Existing networking and relationship-building skills with founders and VCs.
  • Experience working with CRM tools (e.g., HubSpot, Salesforce, Affinity) and applying attribution strategies.
  • Data-driven mindset: you’re comfortable tying community activity to business outcomes.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication; you can confidently represent Flex in front of founders and investors.
  • Entrepreneurial and scrappy — you thrive in ambiguity, love being on the ground, and can spin up a dinner, follow up with guests, and report results all in the same week.
  • Bonus: Prior experience as a founder, operator, or in a venture-backed startup community role.
