About the role

• Founding Community Builder at Seapoint, an AI-powered financial platform for startups. Owns community building and event strategy in London and Dublin.

Responsibilities

• Own community strategy end-to-end. Define what Seapoint's founder community stands for, who it is for, and how it grows. Build a flywheel, not a funnel.
• Build and run a world-class events programme. Intimate supper clubs with 10 to 15 founders and a seasoned operator. Finance deep-dives. Storytelling evenings. Seasonal socials. Every event should be one people talk about afterwards.
• Own the partnership ecosystem that powers it. Work with accelerators, VCs, startup communities, and ecosystem platforms to co-create events, extend reach, and build the credibility that makes founders trust Seapoint before they have ever used the product.
• Build Seapoint's digital community home. Launch and own the spaces, whether Discord or equivalent, where founders exchange freely. Ask the questions they would never post on LinkedIn. Share what is actually working.
• Turn community into a content engine. Work with the team to launch a founder spotlight series, capture event conversations worth sharing, and build an always-on storytelling flywheel. Content gives founders visibility and that creates organic reach for Seapoint.
• Activate an ambassador programme. Identify and develop community champions who generate authentic content and drive organic referrals. The founders who tell other founders to use Seapoint.
• Drive qualified pipeline into the GTM motion. Community at Seapoint is not brand-only. You will work closely with the sales team to turn warm relationships into qualified introductions and community-sourced leads.
• Feed founder insights back to product and GTM. The community is one of our sharpest listening channels. Surface what you are hearing so the product and messaging keep getting sharper.

Requirements

• You have built and run a community before, not just managed one. You know what it takes to go from zero to something people genuinely care about.
• You have real events and partnerships experience. You have produced memorable experiences and built the ecosystem relationships that made them worth attending.
• You are commercially minded. You understand the difference between community as a brand play and community as a growth engine, and you know how to build the latter without killing what makes the former work.
• You are a natural connector. People remember you after a room because you made the right introductions, not because you talked the most.
• You are high-agency. You do not wait for a playbook. You build it.
• You are at home in the London startup ecosystem. You know who the interesting investors, accelerators, and founder communities are and people in them know you.
• You are a strong communicator, in person, in writing, and on stage. Founders will trust you to represent Seapoint in rooms we are not in.
• You are excited by fintech and can speak credibly to the problems founders face with their finances. You do not need to have worked in fintech before, but you need to care about it.

Benefits

• Competitive salary with meaningful equity in a fast-growing fintech startup
• Work directly with experienced founders and operators from Stripe, Wise, Tide, Nubank, Wayflyer and other fintech unicorns
• Real ownership from day one. You will shape the community strategy and build the function from the ground up
• Flexible hybrid working from our London base
• Budget for events, networking, and community building
• Learning and development opportunities in fintech and AI
