Founding Growth & Community Lead

Why This Role Exists We believe the Travel Manager has never been more important than they are today. AI, cost pressures, efficiency requirements, and sustainability are reshaping the role. Travel leaders are being asked to operate as strategic partners, but they’ve lacked the tools, skills, confidence, and peer networks to lead that shift. Our growth strategy reflects that belief: If we elevate and enable Travel Managers as leaders, we earn trust, relevance, and durable demand. This role exists to help build that engine, starting with community and live experiences. Role Overview This is a growth role, but not a traditional one. You’ll work closely with founders to design, build, and run the growth channels we already know work, then help turn them into repeatable systems. You’ll also partner closely with Sales to drive the pipeline, with shared ownership of outcomes. Community and events are the non-negotiable core of this role. Everything else should reinforce these engines. Founders are deeply involved in the community and events and will partner directly with you on programming, presence, and strategy. What You’ll Own Community You’ll help design and evolve Clarasight’s community as a core driver of trust and demand. Shape the purpose and direction of the community Design experiences that help Travel Managers stay relevant in an AI-driven world Build a repeatable cadence of sessions, workshops, and peer connections Partner with founders to maintain quality as the community grows This is about relevance and impact, not scale for scale’s sake. Live Events You’ll help define how Clarasight shows up in person. You will: Decide which events matter and what success looks like Design in-person moments that feel intentional, not transactional Turn events into momentum through preparation, presence, and follow-up.
