About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

You develop and maintain an active peer-to-peer community for leaders — online and offline
You are the primary point of contact for community members: welcoming, reliable, and on equal terms
You anticipate what the community needs before anyone asks — and you act
You ensure members genuinely benefit from each other: you curate content, facilitate connections, and spark new ideas
You measure what works and continuously evolve the format
You plan and organize regular community events — small, curated, with a distinctive touch
You handle everything: venues, invitations, logistics, tech, atmosphere — nothing slips through the cracks
You are present on site and create an environment where people can really arrive and open up
You communicate regularly with community members: newsletters, updates, personal messages — always warm, always specific, never generic
You identify and recruit new members who are a genuine fit for the community
You develop an authentic community voice that builds trust
You support guest acquisition for our podcast: you spot interesting, relevant guests and reach out to them
You coordinate recordings and guest communication as part of a largely automated process
You contribute ideas for must-have guests — and explain why
You actively and naturally use AI tools in your daily work
You spot repetitive processes and automate them — comfortably using tools like Make, n8n, or similar solutions
You work closely with our team, which already integrates AI deeply into its work

Requirements

What you’ll need

Experience in community management, event management, or communications — ideally both
Proven experience using AI tools in day-to-day work — not experimental, but habitual
Initial experience with automations (simple flows count — what matters is the mindset)
Excellent German, good English — you write in a way people actually read your messages
You are warm and authentic — people can tell you mean it
What you say, happens
You know what busy people need — and what prevents them from engaging
You have a sense for moods, spaces, and the right moment
You are genuinely interested in AI — not because you have to, but because it fascinates you
And you know when humor is appropriate
