VC Growth & Community Lead, Merantix

• The best candidates have started a company, run a media product, built a community from zero, or shipped content as an operator. You think about impact, leverage and audience, not press releases
• Proven ability to build something where distribution, audience or brand was core to the work. This could be as a founder, early operator, content creator, community builder, journalist-turned-builder, or marketing lead at an early-stage startup
• Demonstrable track record of having built an audience, a community or a brand, with concrete achievements you can point to
• Excellent writer in English and German: You can produce sharp, opinionated content fast
• Genuine fluency in and passion for the AI and European tech ecosystems: You already follow the right founders, funds, researchers and publications, and have a view on where the conversation is going
• Builder: You rather ship something imperfect today than circulate a strategy deck for weeks
• High tolerance for context switching: You can write a thesis piece in the morning, brief a journalist at lunch, and run an event on the AI Campus that evening
• Strong opinions, weakly held: You have a clear point of view on what good looks like, and you update it when the evidence changes
• Low ego: You are successful when our founders, our fund and our ecosystem are visible and respected

Desirable

• We are looking for an exceptional individual to own how Merantix Capital is perceived in the world - across brand, content, communications, community and events
• This is an entrepreneurial, high-ownership role. You will define our voice, sharpen our positioning in Europe's AI ecosystem, run our brand and marketing channels, and turn Merantix Capital and our Merantix ecosystem into the most renowned brand for AI founders in Europe
• Brand & positioning: Sharpen and own how Merantix Capital is perceived by founders, engineers, LPs, co-investors and corporate partners. Translate our venture studio and early-stage fund model into a clear, differentiated narrative
• Owned content & channels: Run our website, blog, newsletter, LinkedIn, and any new channels you choose to launch. Set the calendar, and ship content consistently
• Founder storytelling: Work directly with our investment team and portfolio founders to shape the stories worth telling (investments, portfolio milestones, technical deep dives etc.)
• Community & ecosystem: Treat our ecosystem as a single audience and work with this ecosystem to build the formats and touchpoints that keep top AI talent in our orbit and shape our positioning
• Events: Own our event presence end-to-end, from intimate founder or LP dinners and technical sessions on the AI Campus to major industry events. Decide what we show up for, what we host, and what we skip
• PR & external comms: Run our relationships with journalists and industry voices, supported by external partners where it makes sense. Make sure our fund and portfolio news stand out
