Full Job Description
We're looking for a Community Program Manager to help scale and evolve Airtable's customer community programs. This role sits within the Digital Programs team, which brings together Community, Education, and AI Programs to help customers learn, adopt, and succeed with Airtable.

You'll help grow Airtable Community into a strategic driver of customer engagement and meaningful AI adoption by building programs, systems, and experiences that connect customers with one another and accelerate learning. Key areas of focus include scaling our user group program (Airtable Builder Crews), expanding community engagement initiatives, and strengthening the operational foundation that supports a growing portfolio of community programs.

Airtable Community is more than a place for customers to connect-it's a strategic lever for driving product adoption. Our north star is increasing AI feature adoption and AI weekly active users (AI WAUs), and this role will help design and scale the programs that move customers from AI curiosity to AI proficiency.

We're looking for someone who is equal parts program manager, community builder, and operator-someone who thrives in ambiguity, embraces experimentation, and can turn ideas into scalable programs with measurable impact.

This is a full-time contractor role.

Responsibilities include:
  • Recruiting, onboarding, and supporting Builder Crew leaders.
  • Developing playbooks, templates, and operational processes for local events.
  • Partnering with internal teams on event promotion, measurement, and follow-up.
  • Creating scalable systems that enable community leaders to independently run successful programs.

  • Demonstrated experience building and scaling community programs, such as user groups, ambassador programs, advocacy initiatives, or community-led events.
  • An AI-native operator mindset and proven track record of using AI to plan, create, analyze, automate, and execute work. You should be able to articulate how AI has improved your productivity, quality, throughput, or business outcomes.
  • Strong program management and operational skills, including the ability to manage multiple initiatives simultaneously, build scalable processes, and drive projects from concept through execution.
  • Strong written communication and community engagement skills, with the ability to create experiences that foster participation, learning, and customer advocacy.
  • Comfortable working cross-functionally with Product, Marketing, Customer Success, Education, and other stakeholders.
  • Analytical and data-driven, with experience measuring program performance and using insights to guide decisions and investments.

Nice to Have
