Deputy General Manager, New York City

Supermomos has just opened up one spot for a Deputy General Manager, New York City. Team is very plugged into the tech & VC ecosystem, and we're willing to coach :) This opportunity will provide great exposure to the New York City tech community, learning about a range of tech topics, network-building, and doing everything at a start-up! You will get to dabble in almost every function except for engineering. This role is also similar to that of a Chief of Staff and "mini-CEO" of the city.

An ideal candidate is curious, capable, hungry, takes initiative, loves meeting new people, is an animal* (see below), and interested to try a wide range of roles such as sales, marketing, community-building, and operations. Recent graduate with 1-5 years of work experience is preferred.

Additional job description:

• Community – attend events, build relationships with users and community builders, user research. These events provide great networking exposure (see past speakers/partners for our events: https://www.supermomos.com/featured)
• Operations – ensure fulfilment and smooth running of events, including set-up, registration, hosting & moderating panels, and managing volunteers
• Business Development – work on sales material, prospect new leads, follow-up on leads, pitch customers
• Growth and marketing – manage social media accounts, create content, design posters
• Great attitude and initiative, good work ethic and communication skills
• Passionate about building communities, consumer / tech, and learning
• Comfort with ambiguity, change, and fast pace
• Loves attending events and meeting new people

*Paul Graham's definition of an animal: Could you describe yourself (the person) as an animal? It might be hard to translate that into another language, but I think everyone in the US knows what it means. It means someone who takes their work a little too seriously; someone who does what they do so well that they pass right through professional and cross over into obsessive. What it means specifically depends on the job: a salesperson who just won't take no for an answer; a hacker who will stay up till 4:00 AM rather than go to bed leaving code with a bug in it; a PR person who will cold-call New York Times reporters on their cell phones; a graphic designer who feels physical pain when something is two millimeters out of place.
