Full Job Description
Location - Remote (based in major city)

Type - Full-time

Compensation - $85,000 - $105,000 base

You are WeRoad on the ground in the US. We grow city by city - large metros full of young adults - and you turn each new one into a living WeRoad community. Not from a laptop: at run clubs, gyms, and coworking happy hours. You launch each city and write the playbook for the next.
What you'll own
  • Field events & activations: source venues, partners, and moments worth showing up for, and run them end to end (logistics, staffing, follow-up).
  • Guerrilla marketing: plan and execute low-cost, high-attention guerrilla moments that fit WeRoad's culturally relevant voice.
  • Community relationships: build real, two-way relationships with the communities in each launch city - run clubs, cycling and yoga groups, gyms, coworking spaces, alumni and young-professional networks - and turn them into recurring WeRoad touchpoints.
  • Group Leader support on the ground: be the local glue for the Group Leaders in each market - help them activate their personal networks, host meetups, and turn their trips into local word of mouth.
  • Opportunity sourcing & prioritization: continuously scout opportunities (events, partnerships, sponsorships, out-of-home placements), size them, and prioritize ruthlessly against expected return. You decide what's worth our time and money in each city, and you defend the call with data.
  • Measurement: track every activity against attendance, leads generated, and downstream PAX. If you can't measure it, you flag it before we spend.

What you'll be measured on
  • City-attributable PAX in your launch markets (the north star).
  • Qualified leads and pipeline generated from field activity.
  • Cost per attendee and cost per lead across your activations.
  • Active local community touchpoints and Group Leader engagement in each launch city.
  • Number of partnerships and events activated and passengers attributable to these activities
What you bring
  • 3+ years in field marketing, community building, brand activation, events, or local growth - ideally for a consumer brand, hospitality concept, or experience-led startup.
  • An instinct for new cities: drop you into an unfamiliar metro and you map its scenes, venues, and people within weeks.
  • Self-direction. You operate without daily oversight and bring structure to your own week.
  • Comfort with numbers - you can build a simple cost-per-lead case and kill your own ideas when the math doesn't work.
  • Hustle and taste in equal measure: you can pull off a scrappy guerrilla moment and have it feel on-brand, not gimmicky.
  • A community person at heart - you love helping people connect in real life and are genuinely excited about WeRoad mission and product
  • Authorized to work in the US; able to work evenings and weekends when the city is out.

Nice to have
  • Existing relationships with community organizers, venues, or creators in major US metros.
  • Experience launching something local from zero.
  • Background in travel, fitness, or membership/community businesses.

What we offer:

  • 401(k) with employer matching
  • Health & Dental insurance
  • $1,400/year travel discount in our WeRoad trips!
  • Trust-based holidays - Performance over hours. We recommend 4 weeks per year.
  • New parent support - $3,600/year gross for 3 years after birth or adoption (prorated if your child is under 3 when you join).
  • Performance-based bonus - Discretionary, based on your results and company performance.
  • Extra benefits - $1,000 wedding bonus, one-off bonus at 5 years, and ongoing learning opportunities.

Ready to apply?

  • Case study + technical review with General Manager USA & GTM Director
