Why we need you
We’re looking for a Community Marketing Manager who sits at the very heart of Boardwave - someone who’s as excited about welcoming a new member on day one as they are about building a campaign that brings the next hundred through the door.
This is a true ecosystem role. You’ll work across the full Boardwave community - helping members get the most out of what we offer, bringing partner value to life, and supporting the growth of the network across Europe. It’s a role for someone with real personality , team spirit, and curiosity: someone who wants to be one of the faces of Boardwave, not just a function behind it.
You’ll combine creativity with rigour, and warmth with commercial instinct. You’ll be hands-onenough to make things happen, but thoughtful enough to ask: is this the right thing for Boardwave?
About the role
You sit at the heart of Boardwave - connecting the dots between our members, our partners, our programme and our brand. You’re embedded in the community - present, proactive, and genuinely curious about the people in it.
You’ll work closely with programme, partnerships, and operations colleagues to make sure everything we put into the world - and everything our members and partners experience - feels coherent, warm, and worth their time. You’ll have a copywriter to support with content, and a fractional senior growth marketing consultant who can help with strategy and channel execution.
This includes:
- Owning member onboarding, engagement and re-activation - helping people get the most out of the Boardwave platform and programme

- Work closely with the Programme team to market our European events calendar, international experiences like the Silicon Valley trip, and our retreats - making sure the right members know about them and want to be part of them
- Help build the pre and post-event narrative around programme moments - from save the dates through to content and follow-up that keeps the energy going

Partner marketing & collaboration
