Role
Who you are
- Track record of success at a fast-paced early-stage company. We have an incredibly ambitious vision, and work hard to achieve it. You’re comfortable with an intense pace, with high standards, and with wearing many hats
- Community leadership experience. You know what it takes to get high-caliber people to show up and stay engaged
- Deep empathy. You understand the reality of running a small team: juggling product, GTM, fundraising, and hiring. You can talk credibly about go-to-market, not just “community.”
- World-class event operator. You sweat the details — guest lists, room composition, timing, the first 5 minutes of an event. You’ve shipped events end-to-end and can share examples of formats that worked (and ones that didn’t)
- Strong writer and communicator. You can write crisp, no-fluff invites, follow-ups, and posts that get busy founders to respond. You’re comfortable on-stage or moderating a panel, and don’t mind being a visible face of the community
- Passionate about AI and modern GTM. You’re curious about how AI is changing GTM, and you want to be right in the middle of the teams figuring it out in real time
What the job involves
- We are building Lightfield to be the most helpful, valuable, and significant company in GTM tech
- To do this, we're assembling an elite go-to-market team to establish category leadership in CRM, and are starting by partnering with the most innovative early-stage companies
- We’re hiring for a Head of Community to mobilize the early-stage founder ecosystem around Lightfield — building a tight online + offline network centered around our HQ in San Francisco
- This person will report directly to our Head of GTM
- Build and lead the Lightfield founder community. Identify, invite, and cultivate relationships with high-caliber early-stage founders who care about GTM, with a focus on building deep, authentic relationships
- Run an in-person event engine. Design and execute events that founders actually want to attend, including events at our San Francisco HQ, as well as activations at third-party tradeshows
- Create repeatable community programs. Build structured programs like founder circles, GTM clinics, or “build your first outbound motion” cohorts — and iterate based on what drives real outcomes for members
- Grow and manage our founder Slack. Turn Slack into a true peer community where founders share GTM questions, wins, and playbooks with each other. Seed discussions, make intros, and spotlight the best conversations
- Turn conversations into content. Capture learnings from events, office hours, and Slack, and turn them into lightweight content (posts, clips, templates) that showcase how the best founders are running modern GTM
Our take
A major pitfall of CRM systems is the amount of admin required to maintain them. Follow up drafting, note logging and field updating mean that customers are always playing catch up to maintain the very system built to keep them on top of their customer relationships. Lightfield was designed to do this work itself, utilising AI-native automation to build a picture of your customer base.
Lightfield’s AI agents can contextualise customer interactions and use this to develop unique sales pipelines and meeting preparation, meaning that its users do less admin and close more deals. Tools on the Lightfield platform include a pipeline generation tool for time-strapped start-ups, a sales assistant for meeting memos and log updating and data capture for self-updating CRMs. All this speaks to a product that speaks to a culture of bogged-down, high-growth companies lacking the time to manage their growing client base.
Spun out from the co-founders' previous pitch-presentation company Tome, Lightfield released a migration tool in 2026, further incentivising businesses to take up its platform. With plenty of experience from its founding team, Lightfield is itself on the right track for high growth.
