Developer Community Manager

At HeyGen, our mission is to make visual storytelling accessible to all. Over the last decade, visual content has become the preferred method of information creation, consumption, and retention. But the ability to create such content, in particular videos, continues to be costly and challenging to scale. Our ambition is to build technology that equips more people with the power to reach, captivate, and inspire audiences. Learn more at . Visit our Mission and Culture doc here . The role We're hiring a Developer Community Manager to build and run the Hyperframes and HeyGen for Developers community across hackathons, online communities, and meetups.

A strong operator's instinct, you run logistics flawlessly and sweat the details that make events and communities feel good. Ability to be on-site and travel for events. A self-starter who thrives in ambiguity and a fast-moving, early-stage environment and is comfortable owning outcomes without a playbook.
