City Manager, Austin U.S.ABOUT THE ROLELocation - US (remote); availability across US time zones expectedType - Full-timeCompensation - $85,000 - $105,000 baseAustin is WeRoad's first US city, and you're our face in it. This is community-led growth done where it actually happens - run clubs, climbing gyms, supper clubs - not from behind a laptop. You'll build Austin into a self-sustaining community and the blueprint for what comes 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 Austin communities - run clubs, cycling and yoga groups, gyms, coworking spaces, alumni and young-professional networks - and turn them into recurring WeRoad touchpoints (and travelers!).
- Group Leader support on the ground: be the local glue for the Group Leaders based in Austin. Help them activate their personal networks, host meetups, and turn their trips and events 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 Austin, 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- Austin-attributable PAX (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 Austin.
- 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.
- A genuine connection to Austin: you know the scenes, the venues, and the people, or you're wired to know them 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 Austin community organizers, venues, or creators.
- Experience launching something local from zero.
- Background in travel, fitness, or membership/community businesses.
