About the role

What You'll Do

  • Run the operational backbone of the Startup Program: own application triage and review, credit issuance, partner UTM tracking, and CRM hygiene across HubSpot and Airtable.
  • Build and run the SF founder engine: source and curate guest lists of high-quality founders, manage venues, invitations, RSVPs, and logistics end-to-end, and own flawless day-of execution for events.
  • Drive light event marketing and promotion: craft invitations, event landing pages, follow-up sequences, and post-event nurture that resonate with a founder and developer audience.
  • Partner with Developer Relations to reach founders at scale and ensure the content, conversations, and programming land credibly with a technical crowd.
  • Grow Render's footprint in the SF ecosystem: build and maintain relationships across founders, operators, accelerators, and VC platform teams.
  • Close the loop on impact: track attendance, attribution, and conversion from event to program to customer.

What We're Looking For

  • 4-6 years of experience across some mix of sales, partnerships, marketing, program or operations management, recruiting/talent, or developer relations.
  • Deep roots in the SF startup ecosystem. Genuinely social, a natural connector who can make warm intros.
  • Fluency in the venture landscape and a real understanding of the AI transformation reshaping how startups build.
  • An instinct for how developers adopt tools and understanding that developers hate being marketed to.
  • High agency and strong organization: find problems before they're assigned, comfortable owning logistics from invite to follow-up.
  • Based in San Francisco, including for evening events.

Nice-to-Haves

  • Existing relationships with founders, operators, accelerators, or VC platform/portfolio teams.
  • Experience running events, community programs, or founder-facing initiatives.
  • Familiarity with the modern GTM stack (HubSpot, Airtable, Clay, Apollo, and similar).
  • Hands-on familiarity with the developer-tools and cloud infrastructure landscape.

Benefits

  • 4 weeks of paid vacation.
  • 14 weeks of fully paid parental leave.
  • Long-term disability, life insurance, and 401K plans.
  • 100% employer-paid medical coverage and 99% employer-paid dental and vision coverage.
  • Monthly lifestyle stipend, cell phone and internet subsidy.
  • Commuter benefits for Bay Area, home office stipends for remote.
  • Continuous learning benefits.
