Community Manager

About the role

You'll be the person who makes sure Adaptyv shows up well in public, every day. That means managing our social presence across X and LinkedIn, running the Proteinbase community, owning the participant side of our open competitions and hackathons, and triaging inbound community and customer messages. Whatever it takes to keep our community-facing surface area healthy as we grow. This is a hands-on, high-ownership role. You'll be the go-to person for anything community: content, social, events, and the day-to-day rhythm of how Adaptyv talks to the outside world. You'll work closely with the founders and the science team, and you'll have a direct impact on how the protein design and AI bio communities experience us.

Responsibilities

• Manage Adaptyv's day-to-day social presence on X and LinkedIn: product updates, customer wins, blog amplifications, conference content, and reactive posts on what's happening in the field.
• Run the Proteinbase community day-to-day: newsletter, competition updates, designer spotlights, and the Slack where participants and contributors gather.
• Own the participant-facing side of our open competitions and hackathons, from applicant communication and rules through to judging logistics and post-event recaps. Turn each event into a public artifact (leaderboard, dataset, blog post).
• Triage inbound community and customer messages, routing deeper technical questions to the right person on the team.
• Coordinate with the founders and the science team on what to post, what to amplify, and what to hold.

What we're looking for

• 1-3 years running social, content, or community for a technical company, a science-adjacent media brand, an event series, or a community platform.
• A strong, distinctive writing voice. You move between LinkedIn announcements, customer replies, and community posts without defaulting to generic AI phrasing.
• Genuine curiosity about biology and AI. No science degree required, but you should be able to follow technical conversations in protein design and AI without needing them explained.
• Highly organized. You'll juggle multiple channels, partnerships, and ongoing threads simultaneously, and build the systems to track them.
• Comfortable with ambiguity. There is no editorial calendar or playbook. You'll decide what's worth posting based on what we're shipping and what the field is discussing.

Bonus

• Existing presence in protein design or AI bio circles,
• Prior experience running a hackathon or competition,
• Short-form video editing,
• A track record of building a technical community from scratch.

Location

On-site or remote, with timezone overlap with US or Europe. Occasional travel to Lausanne and to events.
