Role
Who you are
- This role is perfect for someone who has worked with Ashby All-in-One, has a solid background in talent acquisition, and is passionate about tools, processes, and community building
- You’ve been an Ashby power user or at least very familiar with Ashby and seen its benefits first-hand—someone who knows the product and Ashby community, champions good recruiting practices, and isn’t afraid to dive into dashboards, workflows, or templates
- You’ve built a reputation inside organizations as the go-to expert on TA process and tooling
- You’re a strong communicator—whether facilitating a breakfast, writing a post-event summary, or helping a customer understand how to build a dashboard
- You love curating and connecting people and ideas. You get energy from hosting, matchmaking, and finding smart formats to share what works
- You’re excited about being on the road ~2x/month and tapping into your existing network (and growing it!) in the TA space
- You’re entrepreneurial and experimental in nature. You’re not looking for rigid playbooks; you want room to try new formats and evolve what ‘great’ looks like. You come prepared with AI tools / automations that help us execute faster while maintaining quality
- You believe in unreasonable hospitality—the idea that going above and beyond for a customer doesn’t just build goodwill, it builds momentum
- We’re looking for someone who thrives at the intersection of education, advocacy, and hospitality, and who’s excited to help Ashby scale sustainably through trust and excellence
What the job involves
- Hi, I’m Kat, :) I lead Partnerships at Ashby, which includes global community activation. We’re hiring an experienced TA Advisor & Community Lead in AMER to help expand one of our most successful GTM experiments: a high-touch, customer-led approach to growth
- This role builds on the incredible work our EMEA team has piloted—combining thoughtfully curated events, product education, and early-stage community activation—to create meaningful impact across the funnel
- You’ll evolve and then optimize this model in target markets, taking ownership of AMER’s community-led growth efforts
- This means everything from running customer breakfasts and curated experiences, to leading tactical enablement sessions and product demos
- You’ll collaborate with an exceptional team across marketing, customer success, and sales
- Lead AMER Community Events:
- Run community events across target AMER markets. Event types might include:
- Customer learning breakfasts
- A mixed ecosystem event for customers and prospects
- Partner cocktail events or roundtables co-hosted with local ecosystem players
- Build and nurture relationships with TA leaders
- Partner with Event Ops on venue selection, invites, and post-event recaps
- Drive improvement and reimagine how we can show up in a very meaningful way for the community
- Drive Customer Education:
- Become an Expert in Ashby + TA leader needs to curate relevant content
- Design and lead live sessions that help customers activate key Ashby features and keep customers ahead on key TA trends and topics
- Partner with CS and Product Marketing teams on the Ashby Hidden Gems program
- Develop and distribute product tips, dashboards, and templates to increase customer sophistication
- Expand AMER Community and Customer Advocacy:
- Help Ashby deepen its brand and trust by showing up consistently and thoughtfully
- Develop onboarding and enablement loops for ACE (Ashby Customer Expert) events
- Partner with GTM teams on prospect and customer onsite visits
- Moderate panels, attend events, and build a presence at industry gatherings
- You’ll report directly to me, but work closely with your counterparts in EMEA, Willem and Kayla, who’ve pioneered what community growth looks like at Ashby
- Within partnerships, you’ll also work closely with Katie to scale trusted community partner relationships and our Event Ops team on bringing Owned Community experiences, like Ashby Cafe, to life

Our take
Reportedly, 50% of employers don’t use applicant tracking systems, largely because of blockers with implementation or insufficient buy-in from top management. Ashby's co-founder and CEO, Benji Encz, experienced first-hand how existing solutions failed to support hyper-growth hiring needs whilst working at PlanGrid, which is in part what led to the creation of the company.
Ashby is looking to redefine the ATS category - providing talent teams with analytics, workflows and automation - and intends to replace solutions from well-established vendors like Greenhouse and Lever with algorithms. The company's AI can schedule interviews and infer demographic data, which clients use for aggregate analyses of DEI hiring metrics.
The market for recruitment software could potentially reach $3.5 billion by 2030. Unsurprisingly, there is now a growing number of startups emerging to compete for a slice of it. Despite the crowded market and having only emerged from stealth in 2022, Ashby has already secured over 500 clients (including high-profile customers like Notion and Figma). The company has also attracted impressive funding, which will be used to expand its product offering beyond what is typically expected from an ATS and grow its customer success and community initiatives.
