Founding Community and Events Lead

FOUNDING COMMUNITY AND EVENTS LEAD

WHY THIS ROLE EXISTS

Jack & Jill is changing how companies hire. We’re ~25 people headquartered in London and building fast. We just raised $40M Series A, led by Air Street Capital with participation from Creandum and Madrona. Read more here https://www.jackandjill.ai/blog/series-a

We launched in San Francisco earlier this year and now we need someone to make London’s startup world stop and pay even more attention.

This is a role for a true superconnector: someone who can throw a room-stopping event and turn it into content that reaches ten times the people who showed up. Every event is two things at once: a real-life moment and a content asset.

You run it, you capture it, you amplify it. That’s the loop, and you own it end to end.

WHAT YOU’LL OWN

• You’ll design and execute high-impact events (career fairs, founder dinners, meetups, and new formats nobody’s tried yet and we haven’t thought of) that put Jack & Jill in front of the people we most want to reach.
• Then take each event and make it travel: recaps, clips, photos, and posts across LinkedIn, TikTok, Instagram, and X that grow our audience and pull the next crowd through the door.
• Events without amplification waste the moment. Social without real events behind it rings hollow. You’ll do both, and you’ll build the playbook as you go.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Own events end to end (concept, logistics, guest lists, day-of execution, follow-up) at real volume.
• Turn every event into social content that extends its reach far beyond the room, and grow a following around it.
• Activate your London network from day one and keep widening it: founders, VCs, and operators who show up because your event is the one they can’t miss.
• Connect the dots from events and content to awareness and pipeline, and measure what’s actually working.
• Work out of our London HQ alongside the UK GTM team, reporting to our GTM Lead, Kaoru.

YOU’LL THRIVE HERE IF YOU

• Have run event series at high volume and amplified them on socials with real, measurable reach. You’ve lived both halves of the loop.
• Come from an events, community, or content role at a startup, fintech, or VC-adjacent company, ideally right here in London.
• Are a recognised connector in the London ecosystem: people seek you out for intros and access, and they discover you through your content.
• Have built something from zero (a community, a meet-up, an event series, a following) as a hands-on doer, not from a management seat.
• Can see the line from a great dinner to a warm pipeline, and you’re comfortable being measured on it.
• Love the scrappy, high-ownership, 0-to-1 reality of an early-stage startup and want equity upside to match.

BONUS POINTS

• You’ve run events or communities at a VC fund or accelerator and amplified founder dinners, demo days, or portfolio moments on social media.
• You were the first community/events/partnerships hire somewhere and built the function from scratch.
• You’ve tied community work to sign-ups, acquisition, or partnerships with numbers to show for it.
• You’re genuinely excited about AI and the future of hiring.

THE DETAILS

• Type: Individual contributor. You do the hands-on work yourself, not through a team.
• Location: London, in-office from our London HQ. This is a London role and your network needs to be in London.
• Compensation: £50 - 80K base plus meaningful equity.
• Work authorisation: UK right to work strongly preferred. Visa sponsorship is possible in exceptional cases but will slow the process.
