Job Summary

Own a market-facing growth engine in Boston by owning pipeline and expanding the founder network through in-person events, university partnerships, and VC/accelerator outreach.

  • Growth Voice: Build demand and close opportunities through targeted ABM, paid, and events with a strong emphasis on surface-to-surface relationships with Boston founders.
  • Market Presence: Drive presence in local ecosystems with VCs, accelerators, Harvard iLab, and MIT programs to feed the pipeline.

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Own the pipeline number. Sourced pipeline, startup customers, attribution in Salesforce. You set the targets and drive them through every motion you run.
  • Grow our Boston customer count. Identify and close expansion opportunities within our existing base, run in-person touches with high-value accounts, and host customer-only gatherings that deepen relationships and surface new ones.
  • Partner with our Boston sales rep. You generate demand and build relationships; together you close. Tight collaboration on targeting, follow-up, and account coverage.
  • Get out in the market. Meet with VCs and accelerators. Visit customer offices. Show up at the right events. This is not a desk job.
  • Build founder community. Host the events founders actually want to attend - roundtables and lab tours for research-driven founders, dinners and salons for operators across sectors. Curate every guest list. Become a connector.
  • Own university and campus partnerships. Build direct relationships with Harvard iLab, MIT Martin Trust Center, and the programs that feed Boston's founder pipeline.
  • Own how Rho shows up in market. Sponsorships, local press, activations, founder content. Partner with our brand and creative team to execute.
  • Run local growth experiments. Geo-targeted paid, branded search, ABM into top Boston accounts, lifecycle nurture tailored to Boston founders.
  • Define your own approach. No established playbook. You decide what works, run it, and document what you learn.
