**Location:** San Francisco, CA
**Role:** Growth Marketing
**Salary:** $100k – $150k/yr
**Experience:** 4+ years
**Skills:** HubSpot, Airtable, Clay, Apollo, CRM, gtm stack, Event Marketing, developer relations

> Build and operate Render's Startup Program by running founder events in San Francisco, managing operations and CRM in HubSpot/Airtable, driving event marketing, and building relationships in the SF startup ecosystem to convert founders into Render customers. Requires 4-6 years experience, deep SF network, and high agency.

## Job Description

## 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.
