- 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

- Bonus: Prior experience as a founder, operator, or in a venture-backed startup community role
Benefits
- Annual team on-sites from Bogota to Mexico City
- Work with a driven team that values autonomy, clarity, and quality
