Able is a product strategy and development studio. Able's vision is to build digital products that create a more inclusive and prosperous future for our people and partners (our 'clients').  Our teams consist of exceptional Product Designers, Software Engineers, Product Managers, and all-around company builders. 

Able is seeking a full-time permanent Community Engagement Manager to join our remote team. This role will lead content development and engagement strategies for Able to successfully market to ideal client profiles, including the investment community.  They will also identify qualified leads, nurture them into the partner (client) prospect funnel, and support our Director of Partnerships in helping build our partner (client) base.  

Our Story

Over the past several years, Able has grown immeasurably. Our revenue and team have grown +30% y/y. We’ve also grown in the type of company that we are:

Chapter 1: We were founded in 2013 as a product and engineering hub for a portfolio of early-stage start-ups. We grew up as an in-house/external hybrid shared services model. That allowed us to hone our skills and establish our operational and cultural foundation. 

Chapter 2. In 2019 we began to expand our vision. We began to grow outside of our inset partner base. We had good initial success meeting new partners, kicking off new relationships, and delivering high-value work.

Chapter 3. We are now in the early stages of a new chapter, an expansion of the ambition of Chapter 2. Our strategy for growth centers around two audiences:

• Venture Capital. VC firms are looking for trusted product and technology solutions to distribute seamlessly across their portfolios at scale. The founders at their portfolio companies are looking for capabilities that can accelerate their businesses' go-to-market time, while minimizing cost and risk.
• Private Equity. PE firms are looking for trusted solutions that can catalyze growth for their portfolio companies at scale. The leaders of those companies are looking to leverage technology to unlock growth from their organizations.

We are looking for a leader who can help better increase Able’s visibility to ideal partner (client) profiles.

Your day-to-day

Reporting into the Director of Partner Development, this role will be responsible for:

• Expanding Able’s Go-To-Market Strategy
  We have recently launched a new website and plan to launch a social content publishing program. You will lead the strengthening of our marketing efforts across these and other channels. You will lead the creation and delivery of strategic campaigns for Able, leveraging our strengths to expand our influence and impact within our target communities of advocates and partnerships.
• Building Able’s Community of Partners and Advocates
  We are looking to expand upon the successes we’ve had with our current VC, PE, and portfolio company partners. You will help drive this through the initiation, creation, and execution of content campaigns that distill and retell the value we create and direct it towards new partner communities that would benefit from Able. There will be autonomy around how this role will deliver on this aspect. 
• Supporting in New Partner Pipeline Building
  As a support to our Director of Partnerships, your efforts should correlate directly with pipeline building and positive top-of-funnel metrics. Able’s growth and go-to-market investments prioritize building highly referenceable partnerships that will lead to warm introductions to prospective partners and shorter sales cycles. 
• Providing Cultural and Operational Leadership
  In this role, you will be a member of Able’s growth team, contributing significantly to our strategic development. You will represent and uphold our values both within our team and in our interactions with partners, playing a vital role in shaping and embodying the essence of what makes us 'Able'.
