Community Manager

Sanabil Studio is Sanabil's in-house venture studio, building and backing the next generation of category-defining companies in Saudi Arabia.

Alongside building new ventures, the Studio is activating Sanabil's early-stage community, a curated network of founders, operators, and partners across accelerators, studio ventures, and talent programs that fuels the ecosystem we invest in.

Backed by Sanabil, the Studio combines deep capital, operating muscle, and a programmed founder community to deliver a faster, deeper, and more credible early-stage experience than anything else available in the Saudi market today.

We are looking for a Community Manager to own Sanabil's early-stage community end-to-end, building the membership, the rituals, the events, the offerings, and the performance system that turn it into the place every early-stage founder in Saudi wants to be part of.

THE ROLE What you'll own here.

Lead Community, Events, Performance, and Offerings as one integrated activation function.

Build the founder membership as a product, criteria, onboarding, tiers, lifecycle, and the rituals that make people come back.

Plan and run a consistent event cadence across founder dinners, masterclasses, demo nights, AMAs, partner sessions, and signature flagships.

Manage the full event lifecycle: brief, run-of-show, speakers, registrations, hosting, and follow-up.

Originate and curate a portfolio of founder perks and deals across cloud, software, legal, banking, talent, and operations.

Negotiate exclusive terms with partners and run regular reviews that drop the under-performers.

Run a structured 1:1 cadence with founders and feed signal back into the investment and studio teams.

Own the community scorecard, attendance, NPS, repeat-visit rate, new members, founder pipeline contribution.

Maintain a single source of truth for members, events, deals, and partner engagement.

Activate alumni and senior operators as a living layer of the community, not just attendees.

Coordinate closely with accelerator partners, studio venture teams, and talent programs to keep the experience seamless.

Be on stage when needed, MC, moderate, open and close events.

THE PROFILE You're probably a fit if… You have 4–7 years building communities, programs, or running operator-facing events, in venture, accelerator, startup, or premium hospitality contexts.

You have run a recurring event cadence at scale, not just one-off launches, and can show the numbers behind it.
