Community/Events Lead (SF)

About the role

Finta is building a finance platform for startups. Currently, startup finance is fragmented. We aim to become the go-to solution for the entire finance function: accounting, taxes, financial reporting, budgeting, forecasting, and real-time insights, all in one place. We have raised $2M from Y Combinator, Mercury's CEO, and leaders at Mercury, Brex, Ramp, and others. Founded in 2023, we serve hundreds of paying customers and are a small, high-caliber team.

Responsibilities

• Host high-quality events for YC founders, including dinners, roundtables, office hours, happy hours, and tactical finance sessions
• Build targeted invite lists based on batch, stage, company type, funding status, and finance needs
• Write outbound emails that founders actually reply to
• Partner with startup ecosystem companies to co-host founder events
• Own event execution end to end: concept, guest list, venue, invites, reminders, run of show, experience, and follow-up
• Build real relationships with founders, not transactional lead-gen funnels
• Turn founder conversations into useful content, including event recaps, finance guides, social posts, partner content, and customer stories
• Track what matters: invites, replies, RSVPs, attendance, meetings booked, pipeline created, customers closed, and referrals generated
• Bring founder feedback back into product, positioning, and sales
• Build the playbook for how Finta grows through the startup ecosystem

Requirements

• Experience in founder-facing GTM, events, partnerships, community, VC/platform, startup sales, or early-stage marketing
• Loves being around startup founders and can quickly build trust in a room
• Excellent at written outreach
• Can write emails that feel personal, sharp, and not spammy
• Commercial. Understands events should create trust, pipeline, customers, and referrals
• Highly organized and can manage a lot of small details without dropping the ball
• Taste. Cares about venue, guest mix, conversation quality, timing, follow-up, and how Finta is perceived
• Works independently in an ambiguous, early-stage environment
• Excited to become deeply credible on startup finance, accounting, taxes, reporting, and forecasting
• Uses AI tools to move faster, research better, personalize outreach, and run a tighter system
