We're creating screen-free, delightful devices and services that let families call the people who matter most, free from the noise of today's digital world.\nWe're building a bold, authentic, nostalgic, and kinda quirky brand that resonates with folks who want something simpler & better for their kids than the tech-infused lives we're currently living (and who have a sense of humor about it).\nThe Role\nThe magic moment in our Communities program is when a whole class of kids can suddenly call each other - no screens, just “hey, want to come over?” Getting there takes a parent or school willing to rally everyone, and every order, fundraiser, and directory has to land the way we promised it would. We’re looking for a Community Experience Specialist to make sure it does. You’ll be the first point of contact for the schools, PTAs, and parent groups who reach out to us, and the person who keeps their group orders, fundraisers, donations, and community directories moving from first hello to first call.\nThis is a full-time, in-person role on our Communities team, reporting to the Head of Communities and working day to day with our Community Experience Manager, plus Growth, Finance, Ops, and Brand. It’s a great fit for someone early in their career who’s ambitious and a self-starter: you’ll learn our playbook, run it with care across hundreds of communities, and have real room to try new ideas and shape how it grows. You’re the reason a PTA president’s first email gets a fast, warm answer. You’re the one who makes a community order feel personal. This role focuses on the day-to-day community experience; events and our Connector program sit with our Community Experience Manager.\nWhat You’ll Do\nYou’ll run the day-to-day experience for hundreds of communities, including (but not limited to):\nInbound inquiries - be the first, friendly response for schools, PTAs, and parent groups who reach out through our communities inbox and Zendesk; answer their questions, explain how Tin Can communities work, and help them get started\n\nCommunity group orders - guide each community through its group order, from first conversation to first call, and keep it on track until phones are in families’ hands\n\nFundraising & donation requests - review and approve fundraising and donation requests against our guidelines, following up on the details so each community gets a quick answer\n\nCommunity directories - set up and maintain each community’s directory so kids can call their approved friends and classmates from day one\n\nSystems & tracking - keep every community’s status current across our CRM, order, and directory tools, report weekly on inquiries, orders, approval turnaround, and response times, and suggest ways to make the process smoother\n\nFeedback loops - notice the questions and requests that keep coming up, and bring them back to the team so we can fix them at the source, and pass along great community stories to Brand\n\nWhite-glove experience - ensure every touchpoint reflects the warmth, simplicity, and joy that Tin Can stands for\n\nWhat We’re Looking For\nAmbitious and a self-starter; you take ownership of your work and look for ways to do more\n\nSomeone who runs a process well and isn’t afraid to rethink it; you notice where things get stuck, try new ideas, and share what you learn\n\nA natural relationship-builder who genuinely loves people and earns trust quickly\n\nExcited to work in person; at the office, on community visits, and at the occasional event\n\nHighly organized and detail-oriented; you can juggle lots of requests at once, and nothing falls through the cracks\n\nQuick to learn new tools like CRMs, Shopify, and spreadsheets; you keep the data clean because you know someone’s order depends on it\n\nStrong communication skills, both written and verbal; you know how to make people feel welcome and heard\n\nA bias toward action, a scrappy get-it-done mentality, and a habit of asking how we get Tin Can to more families\n\nEmpathy for the families we serve and a genuine belief in Tin Can’s mission\n\nA genuine interest in schools, parents, and family-focused communities\n\nBonus: you’ve been involved with schools, PTAs, or parent groups, whether through work, volunteering, or your own school\n\nWhy Join Tin Can\nWe’re building tech that protects childhood: We’re on a quest to give kids a more analog childhood - one with real conversations, real connection, and way less screen time. No doomscrolling, data mining, or dopamine traps - just a simpler, better way for kids to stay in touch. This is a rare opportunity to build something that truly matters.\n\nYou’ll be the front door to our communities: Communities is one of our fastest-growing channels, and every school or parent group that reaches out starts with you. It’s a chance to learn how a fast-growing program runs, and to grow with it.\n\nSmall, high-trust team: Every company says “team,” but at Tin Can it means something different. We’re a small, mission-driven group that genuinely has each other’s backs - professionally and personally. You’ll be joining a tight-knit crew where your ideas and instincts matter from day one.\n\nRoom to explore, not just execute: You’ll have the space to explore new ideas, challenge assumptions, and shape a community experience that reflects our values of trust, simplicity, and care.\n\nIf you’re excited by the idea of helping a whole school of kids pick up the phone and call their friends, please reach out. We can’t wait to meet someone who’s ready to jump in, sweat the details, and help us grow.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5634,"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":["Smart Home Devices"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-15T21:55:17Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":4,"expected_fill_days":54,"reasons":["conf:2","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-20T05:45:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":100000,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/tin-can-community-experience-specialist","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/tin-can-community-experience-specialist.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-20T16:16:42Z","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":18622,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-21T00:00:00Z"}},"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":11008},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=11008"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Ftin-can-community-experience-specialist"},{"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%2Ftin-can-community-experience-specialist"},{"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%2Ftin-can-community-experience-specialist"},{"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/tin-can-community-experience-specialist\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Ftin-can-community-experience-specialist"}]}
