We build agents that learn how a business works from its financial and operational data: its language, operations, and economics. That understanding helps people find opportunities, make better decisions, and act.\nWe work with complex businesses, from manufacturers and restaurant groups to the Fortune 500. Teams at companies including Bayer, Cooper Standard, Blink Charging, Carlex, and Odeko use Sapien to understand their businesses and improve how they run. Our ambition is to build the self-optimizing company by making its people and systems dramatically more capable.\nWe’re headquartered by Madison Square Park in NYC, with $15M+ raised and backing from General Catalyst, Neo, and operators from OpenAI, Google, Microsoft, Ramp, and Stripe. We’re bringing together AI researchers, engineers, and operators to build intelligence for the people who build everything else.\nThe role\nCommunity is a first-class function at Sapien-not a marketing channel, not a nice-to-have. It's how we build trust with finance leaders, find the people we want to work with, and reinforce the culture that makes this company run.\nYou'll work closely with the CEO as a hybrid community builder, talent scout, and chief of staff. We're looking for someone who understands the tech and finance ecosystem-likely from a few years in VC, startup ops, or a similar seat where you were constantly building relationships, evaluating people, and connecting dots.\nWhat you'll do\nOwn events end-to-end. Plan and execute weekly dinners, monthly hiring events in NYC, and CFO dinners in NYC plus two additional cities each month. Manage the full Sapien event calendar on Luma-reading groups, team events, and external programming.\n\nRun recruiting outbound and pipeline. Source candidates through LinkedIn, Sales Navigator, and warmer channels. Set up coffee chats, support screening, and move candidates through the funnel in Ashby.\n\nBuild the candidate experience. Make sure every prospective hire feels the Sapien community before day one-personal outreach, event invites, LinkedIn shoutouts for new teammates. Capture photos at events and across the team.\n\nTrack what's working. Own KPIs across community and recruiting: event-to-interview conversion, touchpoints to hire, channel performance. Use data to improve the process, not just report it.\n\nSet the internal rhythm. Organize in-office programming-AI reading groups, poker nights, team dinners-and make sure those moments are captured and shared.\n\nSupport the CEO on cross-functional projects. Pick up high-leverage work across ops, eng, and GTM as it comes up-whatever the team needs most.\n\nWhat we're looking for\n2-5 years in venture capital, startup operations, talent/recruiting, or a community-facing role in tech.\n\nNatural relationship builder. People remember meeting you. You follow up and connect dots between people and opportunities without being asked.\n\nEvent planning chops. You've run dinners, panels, meetups, or recruiting events-and you know the difference between a forgettable happy hour and an evening people talk about afterward. You can also handle the unglamorous side: booking flights, coordinating travel, managing calendars.\n\nStrong written communication. You can draft a LinkedIn post, a candidate outreach message, an event recap, and an eng blog brief all in the same afternoon.\n\nData-driven. You track what matters and use your numbers to decide where to invest time.\n\nFluent in tech and/or finance. You understand how startups work, how hiring works, and how finance teams think. You can hold a real conversation with a CFO and with a seed-stage founder.\n\nFlexibility across tools. You'll live in Ashby, Luma, LinkedIn, and Sales Navigator daily.\n\nHow you work (values we care about)\nAI-native. You're energized by applying AI to transform how businesses run.\n\nAmbiguity-shaping. You turn nebulous problems into a first pass and drive to resolution.\n\nExtreme ownership. You identify what's next-and do it. If you say it, it gets done.\n\nSpeed & hustle. You bias to action and move with urgency without sacrificing quality.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4161,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["AI Agents","Financial AI","AI Data Analysts & Text-to-SQL"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-05T15:55:32Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":5,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.163,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":259,"expected_fill_days":27,"reasons":["conf:1","stale_co","ghost","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-31T05:58:55Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":175000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/sapien-community-lead","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/sapien-community-lead.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-31T23:00:36Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":35896,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-01T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":25550},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=25550"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fsapien-community-lead"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fsapien-community-lead"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fsapien-community-lead"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/sapien-community-lead\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fsapien-community-lead"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":313678}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"sapien.ai","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":313678},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
