Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Be the CEO’s Right Hand: Push the company forward day to day. Make decisions, unblock the team, and keep momentum going across every front
  • Run Operations: Coordinate priorities, deadlines, and execution across the team. Make sure things ship and nothing slips through the cracks
  • Oversee Product Development: Work alongside our engineer and designer to keep the product roadmap moving — you won’t be writing code, but you’ll be making sure the right things get built on the right timeline
  • Lead Marketing: Own how we show up to the world — brand voice, promotion, content, social. Drive the strategy and the execution
  • Build & Grow Community: Take ownership of our community efforts, starting with our existing Airtable community. Spotlight members, create connections, and grow our presence in spaces that matter
  • Run Our Podcasts: Own production cadence, guest pipeline, and how the show shows up in the world
  • Send Newsletters: Own the calendar, write or commission the content, and grow the list
  • Project Management: Keep cross-functional initiatives organized and on-track
  • Promote the Company: Be a public face for Openside in our community and the broader software/no-code space

Requirements

  • Marketing Background: You’ve owned marketing functions before — content, community, brand, newsletters, social, or some combination — and you can point to results
  • Takes Charge: You walk into ambiguity and start organizing. People consistently describe you as someone who gets things done without being asked twice
  • Highly Task-Oriented: You love a list, you love finishing things, and you can hold a lot in your head at once without dropping the ball
  • Strong Communicator: Excellent written and verbal skills — you can write a great newsletter, run a great meeting, and represent the company publicly
  • Comfortable with Software People: You’ve worked with engineers, designers, or technical founders before and know how to be effective in that environment
  • Self-Starter: You thrive with autonomy and don’t need heavy oversight — you set the cadence
  • AI-Fluent & Automation-Minded: You’re already using AI tools in your day-to-day and actively look for ways to automate repetitive work. We’re a small team that punches above its weight precisely because we automate everything we can — this needs to be how you naturally think
  • Utah-Based: You currently live in Utah (or are planning to relocate) and are available for occasional in-person meetings

Preferred

  • Community-Building Experience: You’ve grown an online community before, whether for a company, a personal project, or as a community manager
  • Project Management Experience: Formal or informal — what matters is you’ve coordinated multiple workstreams and stakeholders
  • Software / SaaS Background: You’ve worked at a software company before and understand how product, engineering, and go-to-market fit together
  • Podcast or Newsletter Production: You’ve owned a podcast, newsletter, or content channel and grown an audience
  • No-Code / Low-Code Familiarity: We have an active Airtable community, so familiarity with the no-code space is a bonus

Benefits

  • Flexible schedule
  • Paid time off
