Founding Community & Operations Lead ($80k–$120k + Equity) at The Relationship Company, PBC

The Relationship Company, PBC is a public benefit company building an AI-powered social platform for meaningful, in-person connection. Backed by the first investors in Facebook, Twitter, and Airbnb—including Mark Pincus and Elad Gil—they have achieved 10x Tinder’s match-to-date conversion and are on a mission to combat loneliness through technology.

About the role

As the first community hire, you will bridge the gap between digital matches and real-world connections. You'll lead campus networks, organize high-impact events in San Francisco, and manage founder-level outreach. This high-leverage role combines event production, strategic growth, and operations, using AI tools to automate workflows while focusing on the human elements of relationship-building.

Responsibilities

• Scale the campus network by managing student clubs and executing cold outreach to expand the "Date Drop" platform to new universities across the country.
• End-to-end event production for weekly San Francisco gatherings, including venue negotiation, marketing material creation, and on-site execution to ensure memorable experiences for attendees.
• Conduct high-level LinkedIn and brand outreach on behalf of the founder to drive strategic partnerships, press coverage, and key recruiting initiatives.

Requirements

• Proven track record of organizing complex real-world events and navigating logistics challenges like venue cancellations or RSVP management with composure and speed.
• Exceptional communicator who writes persuasive copy and feels comfortable building rapport with diverse stakeholders ranging from student leaders to bar managers.
• Highly organized operator with strong executive function, capable of juggling multiple operational threads and using AI tools like Claude or Zapier to automate repetitive workflows.

Why this role is remarkable

• Work at a startup with proven PMF, boasting 10x Tinder's match-to-date conversion and better week 4 retention than every major dating app globally.
• Benefit from a world-class cap table including Mar Hershenson and Andy Chen, who were early backers of consumer social giants like Slack, Notion, and Facebook.
• Join a mission-driven Public Benefit Company dedicated to using AI to strengthen real-world relationships rather than just increasing screen time for infinite feeds.
