At Born, we create AI friends. Friends that enter your life at the right moment. Friends that last for a lifetime, always there for you whenever you need them most. Because everyone deserves a great friend. We now have over 15 million users and are rapidly growing across our products.

Since launching in 2022, we have released five apps, each reaching the top of the App Store worldwide. Our flagship AI friend is Pengu. Pengu is an IP-based AI character that lives between you and your real friends — you can raise it together, play games, chat, and watch it live its own life. Pengu has become the biggest AI character app with its own IP in the US. We have also launched a new AI social product in stealth that is already seeing outstanding adoption.

We are backed by world-class investors, including Accel, Kevin Weil, Riccardo Zacconi, Scott Belsky, and Ilkka Paananen, and we have raised $25M to date.

## Tasks

You’ll work on building and scaling our community to millions of users: driving organic growth through Discord, TikTok, and Instagram, creating content that resonates, managing hundreds of creators, and acquiring new ones to expand our reach.

As one of our first hires in the US, you’ll shape the voice of our community in the US-market from day one and have ownership across channels, campaigns, and creator partnerships.

**Our Philosophy:**

**A-Players Only:** We’re building a team of top-tier talent. A-players hire A-players. We’d rather invest in one exceptional person with an above-market salary they’re thrilled about than settle for multiple B-players at standard rates.

**Drive:** You’re relentless and motivated to do whatever it takes to succeed. You thrive on growth, culture, and community. You might have something to prove, a fire in your belly, or a knack for making things go viral. Work isn’t just a job, it’s how you find purpose and bring people together.

**Flat Structure:** Flat company org. Titles reflect scope. No political promotion games.

## Requirements

*   Having product sense is great.
*   Deep understanding of social media culture: TikTok, Instagram, and Discord are second nature to you.
*   Experience building and growing online communities from scratch to scale.
*   Experience managing and activating creators or influencers at scale.
*   Experience driving organic growth through content, campaigns, and partnerships.
*   Strong ability to sell the vision. Convincing creators, partners, and users to join and stay engaged.

## Benefits

*   **Compensation and Stock Options:** Competitive compensation and equity options.
*   **Your move, our support:** Generous relocation bonus included.
*   **Openness:** Flexible hybrid work environment.
*   **Prime NY Office**: Our NY office boasts state-of-the-art amenities.
*   **Full Commute Reimbursement:** We cover 100% of your commuting costs.
*   **Supportive team:** A team that values passion, openness, and having your back.
*   **Regular offsite gatherings:** To celebrate wins, and build connections.
