Startup Events & Community Manager, AMER (Contract)

About Us:

We're on a mission to make it possible for every person, team, and company to be able to tailor their software to solve any problem and take on any challenge. Computers may be our most powerful tools, but most of us can't build or modify the software we use on them every day. At Notion, we want to change this with focus, design, and craft.

We've been working on this together since 2016, and have customers like Pixar, Mitsubishi, Figma, Plaid, Match Group, and thousands more on this journey with us. Today, we're growing fast and excited for new teammates to join us who are the best at what they do. We're passionate about building a company as diverse and creative as the millions of people Notion reaches worldwide.

As Startup Events & Community Manager (AMER), you'll drive Notion's growth and brand awareness in the startup ecosystem through strategic event programming across North America. You'll create engaging events and experiences for our startup customers, prospects, and partners. Reporting to the Notion for Startups Lead, you'll work closely with the startups team and cross-functional partners to create impactful experiences that establish Notion as the essential tool for early-stage companies.
