# Community Lead - Company: [Clera]() - Location: San Francisco - Team: Engineering - Employment type: Full Time - Salary: $150K – $180K - Posted: September 10, 2026 ## Job description ### About the Role This is a hands-on Community Lead role reporting directly to the General Manager at an early-stage ambient AI startup. You will own the community end-to-end, building a real conversion funnel from everyday user to passionate evangelist, and closing the loop between community signal and product roadmap. ### What You'll Do * Build and nurture an active community across Discord, X, Reddit, and other platforms where users naturally gather. * Design and test concrete mechanics that turn power users into advocates, including recognition systems, referral programs, and early access tiers. * Mobilize the community at high-impact moments such as product launches and user research initiatives. * Gather rich feedback from community conversations and translate it into actionable product signal for the team. * Coordinate in-person events and experiences that deepen community bonds. * Partner cross-functionally with Growth, Marketing, and Product teams to align community efforts with broader goals. * Work across time zones with R&D, hardware, and supply-chain teams to keep community insights flowing into the roadmap. ### What We're Looking For * 2+ years building and scaling an online community for a B2C or prosumer product into a measurable driver of engagement or retention. * Proven ability to design and test advocacy mechanics rather than relying on organic growth alone. * Hands-on experience managing community platforms including moderation, engagement strategy, and feedback collection. * Experience mobilizing communities around specific campaigns or moments and coordinating across Growth, Marketing, and Product teams. * Operationally sharp, comfortable making independent calls and resolving issues without pre-existing playbooks. * Track record converting user feedback into actionable product insights, with demonstrated impact on retention or engagement metrics. * Experience coordinating in-person events or activations. * Experience working across distributed or cross-timezone teams. * Fluency in Mandarin Chinese is a strong plus given the team's international roots. ### Compensation & Benefits Salary range: **$150,000 to $180,000 USD annually.** Visa sponsorship is not available for this role. ### Location Hybrid, 3 days per week in office, based in the **San Francisco Bay Area, California**. ## Apply [Apply on Clera]() Canonical job page:
