About the Role:

As a Community Product Manager at Crunchbase, you will build and lead a high-impact community of customers, founders, investors, and ecosystem leaders.

This role sits within the Product organization and is distinct from traditional marketing-led community roles.

This is both a strategic and hands-on role. You will build systems that generate actionable product insight while also engaging directly with users.

  • Foster high-quality discussions that generate meaningful product insights
• Drive Product Feedback and Insight:
  
  • Act as the voice of the community within the Product organization
  • Translate qualitative feedback into structured, actionable insights
  • Partner closely with Product, Design, and Engineering to influence prioritization
  • Run tight feedback loops on new features and iterations
  • Communicate roadmap updates and product decisions clearly back to the community
• Educate, Activate, and Evangelize:
  
  • Serve as a product evangelist within the community
  • Host live demos, roadmap previews, AMAs, office hours, and onboarding sessions
  • Create excitement around product evolution grounded in real progress
  • Increase user activation, feature adoption, and retention
  • Support expansion through product fluency and education
• Build, Prototype, and Experiment:
  
  • Spin up scrappy prototypes, AI-powered workflows, and lightweight experiments to test ideas live
  • Use AI tools to rapidly mock up features, flows, and product concepts
  • Build alongside users during live conversations to validate hypotheses
  • Ensure community insights translate into measurable product and revenue impact

What We're Looking For:

• 3+ years of experience in product management or similar experience, preferably in a SaaS or tech environment.
• Bachelor's degree in Business, Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
• Proven experience building and managing online communities, preferably within startups, SaaS, or the venture ecosystem
• Experience sourcing and implementing community platforms
• Experience running webinars, AMAs, office hours, and user meetups
• AI fluent and AI curious; comfortable using AI tools to build demos, mockups, and experiments quickly
• Comfortable demoing software live
• Able to translate ambiguous or messy feedback into structured product insights
• Thinks in systems and outcomes, not just engagement metrics
• Comfortable operating in ambiguity and building from zero
• Scrappy, hands-on, and execution-oriented
• Naturally connects community efforts to business impact
• Strong communicator who can engage technical and non-technical audiences alike
