Responsibilities
• You’ve worked closely with VC Talent Partners and understand their roles in the venture ecosystem. • You thrive off of a high-ownership, high trust environment and enjoy putting strategy together and then running at it to execute. • You love designing event programming with partners and know what a startup founder values. • You lead with curiosity and kindness, and have mastered the art of turning “no’s” into a positive experience for others. • You’re an exceptional communicator and writer, with a strong executive presence. • You enjoy being a host, leading conversations and are known for building long-term relationships. • You’re excited by the idea of building something new and meaningful for the startup community. • This Role Is Not a Fit If… • You’re uncomfortable with autonomy or working independently. Our team culture is primarily asynchronous and high-ownership. Meaning you’re responsible for setting deadlines and moving work forward. • You’re not used to working with urgency. We value forward momentum and high output, and believe it’s a competitive advantage to out-execute others. • You love founders, but prefer to be in the background. This role requires you to lead conversations with executive audiences and be comfortable speaking as a subject matter expert in front of big rooms. • For whatever reason, travel is hard for you. VCs are located in SF and NYC, and the events you’ll be hosting will be there or at conferences. This role is best suited for someone who gets energy from being on the road. • You’re not detail oriented. We have an incredible Event Ops team, but this role requires you to sweat the details on your programs with full ownership over them.
Benefits
• Opportunity to work with a talented and passionate team. • 10-year exercise window for stock options. You shouldn’t feel pressure to purchase stock options if you leave Ashby —do it when you feel financially comfortable. • Unlimited PTO with four weeks recommended per year. Expect “Vacation?” in our one-on-one agenda until you start taking it 😅. • Twelve weeks of fully paid family leave in the US. We plan to expand this to employees in other countries as situations arise. • Generous equipment, software, and office furniture budget. Get what you need to be happy and productive! • $100/month education budget with more expensive items (like conferences) covered with manager approval. • If you’re in the US, top-notch health insurance for you and your dependents with all premiums covered by us. • Ashby’s success hinges on hiring great people and creating an environment where we can be happy, feel challenged, and do our best work. We’re being deliberate about building that environment from the ground up. I hope that excites you enough to apply. • If this sounds like a role you’d love, we’d love to hear from you!
