Position Overview

Archera is looking for a Community Marketing Manager to build and own our in-market community presence across the Bay Area and key geos. This role sits at the intersection of field event programming, community building, and outbound relationship development - with a clear mandate: turn warm engagement into qualified pipeline.

You'll design and run a recurring field event program - happy hours, practitioner dinners, technical meetups, and series - owning everything from concept and guest list to execution and follow-up. This is a relationship-first role. You're not filling seats; you're building a community of FinOps and DevOps practitioners who see Archera as the connective tissue of their professional network.

The ideal candidate is equally comfortable hosting a room of 40 engineers, writing a sharp invite sequence, and reporting on pipeline generated from last month's event series.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and run a recurring field event program (happy hours, practitioner dinners, technical meetups, and series) across the Bay Area and select geos — own venue sourcing, guest lists, run-of-show, and post-event follow-up end-to-end
• Build and maintain a targeted community of FinOps, DevOps, and cloud infrastructure practitioners through consistent in-market presence and outbound relationship development
• Own all outbound prospecting to fill events: build invite lists, write copy, and execute outreach across email, LinkedIn, and tools like Apollo or Outreach
• Network and represent Archera at events as a primary brand ambassador — facilitate introductions, qualify attendees, and naturally communicate Archera's value proposition (pitch certification required before speaking)
• Drive same-day and next-day follow-up with every attendee; convert engagement into qualified meetings and hand off to Sales with context
• Write compelling copy for invite sequences, event landing pages, follow-up emails, and social promotion
• Track and report on event and community performance metrics; contribute ideas to program strategy and evolution
• Partner with Marketing and Sales to ensure field activity aligns with pipeline goals and ICP targeting

Qualifications

• 2+ years of experience in field marketing, community marketing, field BDR/SDR, or a hybrid role within B2B tech
• Proven track record running events or community programs end-to-end — not just supporting them
• Strong in-person presence: confident initiating conversations, networking, and presenting to technical audiences
• Disciplined follow-up and pipeline accountability — you know how to turn a warm handshake into a booked meeting
• Sharp copywriting skills for outbound sequences, event promotion, and social content
• Familiarity with prospecting and outreach tools (Apollo, Outreach, HubSpot, Smartlead, or similar) and CRM systems
• Highly organized with strong project management instincts across multiple concurrent programs
• Based in the Bay Area (required); willingness to travel ~10–15% for events outside the Bay Area

Nice to Have

• Experience in cloud infrastructure, DevOps, FinOps, or adjacent technical markets
• Basic design proficiency (Canva or similar) for simple event assets
• Experience building or scaling recurring event series or community programs from scratch

Benefits

• Competitive salary and equity package
• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage
• 401(k) plan
• Flexible PTO policy
• Remote-first culture
• Opportunity to shape and scale a category-defining FinTech platform
