About the role
- This is a builder role for someone who's energized by the founder and startup community.
Responsibilities
- Design the startup events playbook: Build and execute a data-driven marketing plan for the startup segment, focused on landing and growing usage within top Seed-Series B companies across YC and the broader ecosystem.
- Own the founder funnel and footprint: Deploy a mix of founder events, hackathons, executive/founder roundtables, and community activations to acquire the right startups and drive them toward meaningful success using Cursor.
- Build ecosystem relationships: Partner with VCs, accelerators, and other startup partners to reach their portfolio founders through growth programs, content, and co-hosted moments. Help identify which partners are worth going deep with.
- Creativity: Fearlessly break the standard playbook by avoiding generic engagement formats - find out how founders actually build and gather and design around that.
- Founder advocacy: Surface and amplify founder/customer stories worth telling, and feature them in our events. Become a trusted partner and peer to the founders using Cursor.
- Event orchestration: Own programs end to end, from ideation and promotion toonsite experience and follow-up. Keep it scrappy and high-signal
- Data-driven iteration: Track spend against real outcomes (activation, usage, retention, advocacy), not vanity metrics. Manage your budget toward the highest-impact investments and deprioritize what isn't working.
- Bring FEs into events to help founders build real automations, align on which startups show strong usage signals, and flag when a company is genuinely ready for an Enterprise conversation.
Nice to have
- You have 4-7+ years in field, community, event, growth, or revenue marketing, ideally in B2B SaaS or developer tools.
