AI Community Manager

About Snorkel At Snorkel, we believe meaningful AI doesn’t start with the model, it starts with the data. We’re on a mission to help enterprises transform expert knowledge into specialized AI at scale. The AI landscape has gone through incredible changes since 2015, when Snorkel started as a research project in the Stanford AI Lab, to the generative AI breakthroughs of today. But one thing has remained constant: the data you use to build AI is the key to achieving differentiation, high performance, and production-ready systems. We work with some of the world’s largest organizations to empower scientists, engineers, financial experts, product creators, journalists, and more to build custom AI with their data faster than ever before. Excited to help us redefine how AI is built? Apply to be the newest Snorkeler! About the Team The Marketing team at Snorkel AI powers the engine behind our brand, community, and go-to-market success. We work cross-functionally with product, sales, and customer teams to build awareness, generate demand, and create experiences that bring our mission — helping frontier labs and enterprises put AI to work with better data — to life. About the Role We're looking for a Frontier AI Community Manager to build genuine, recurring connection between Snorkel and the people building frontier AI — researchers, post-training and evals leads, and data leaders at the world's top labs. This is a build-the-playbook role that goes well beyond event execution. You'll design and run the formats that actually earn this audience's time and trust — small dinners, researcher-only working sessions, hackathons — and you'll cultivate the ongoing community surface that keeps these people connected to Snorkel and to each other between gatherings. You'll figure out what works by doing, prototype constantly, and write the playbook as you go. This role is based in San Francisco. Responsibilities Bespoke program design. Conceive and run the formats that work for frontier-lab audiences: topical dinners, paper discussions, intimate researcher-to-researcher working sessions, focused workshops on data development and post-training. Most of these don't exist yet (you're inventing them!). Develop the discussion frames, agendas, pre-reads, and seating that make a gathering feel high-signal. Recruit the right room. Know who's working on what at which lab. Reach the right people 1:1 through outreach, mutual connections, and showing up where they already are. The room makes the program. Hackathons and technical activations. Evaluate, design, and run hackathons, evals jams, or similar technical formats where Snorkel's work on data shows up naturally rather than as a sponsor pitch. Champion and advocate development. Identify the most engaged researchers and lab operators, deepen those relationships, and develop them into speakers, contributors, and trusted voices who help shape what we do next. Editorial and social presence. Represent Snorkel in the channels where this community actually lives — X, TBPN-adjacent corners of the internet, technical Substacks, Discords, GitHub. Amplify community members' work and surface what they're talking about. Researcher feedback loop. Bring what the community is debating, frustrated by, and excited about back into product, research, and marketing. You are how Snorkel listens to this audience. Test, measure, iterate. Run programs as experiments. Track the right signals — return attendance, depth of conversation, follow-up meetings, downstream relationships and pipeline. Retire formats that aren't earning their keep. About You You're an AI insider with taste. You're plugged into where the conversation actually happens — X, TBPN, technical Discords, the right group chats — and you can tell the difference between someone working on harnesses and someone working on environments. You've been to enough bad vendor dinners to have strong views on what separates a high-signal gathering from a forgettable one. And you'r
