Community Growth Rep (Part-Time, Evenings) | Austin AI Education Program 🌆🎤

About the role

This role exists to ensure the company has a real person at Austin's AI, startup, or tech meetups nearly every night of the week. You'll engage with attendees—such as marketing managers frustrated by engineering bottlenecks, founders wanting to prototype without hiring, or ops leads concerned about AI disrupting their roles—and demonstrate how the program can address their needs. Your goal is to identify qualified leads, initiate conversations, and move them toward a call, ensuring no opportunity goes cold.

Responsibilities

• Attend 4-5 meetups, demo nights, and community events weekly across Austin's AI, startup, and coworking scenes.
• Initiate conversations with strangers, quickly assessing who is a genuine fit for the program.
• Explain the program’s value clearly and concisely—20 seconds for skeptics, 5 minutes for interested parties—without relying on buzzwords.
• Collect and log contact information for every qualified lead the same night.
• Book intro calls and hand off warm leads to the admissions process.
• Follow up via text, LinkedIn, and email to ensure leads remain engaged.
• Provide feedback to the team on which events are worth revisiting and which are not.

Requirements

• Genuinely social—you enjoy attending these events and are comfortable approaching strangers.
• Comfort with sales fundamentals: qualifying leads, handling objections like "I'll think about it," and driving next steps.
• A clear communicator who can distill complex ideas into two sentences or a five-minute conversation, depending on the audience.
• Curiosity about AI and tools—you use them yourself and can discuss them credibly (no coding required).
• Reliability and self-management; you’re results-driven, not focused on hours logged.
• Availability for most weeknight evenings, plus occasional daytime and weekend events.

Preferred Qualifications

• Already connected to the Austin tech, startup, or AI community.
• Experience in sales, recruiting, community management, events, or hospitality.
• A network or following you can leverage for outreach.

Benefits

• Hourly base pay plus bonuses: one per qualified lead and a larger bonus per enrolled student.
• Top performers earn significantly more than base pay.
• Direct access to the founder and influence over which events the team prioritizes.
• Self-managed role—no micromanagement, just results.
• Part-time hours that can accommodate a day job or other evening commitments.
• Front-row seat to a fast-growing, early-stage AI education company.

Interview process includes a screening call with Atomic HR, a discovery call with the founder, a live pitch practical (delivering your 20-second and 5-minute pitch), and a final conversation on fit, schedule, and compensation.
