A16z Hiring Leaders to Shape Tech Narrative

This is the part of my job at @a16z that most gets me up in the morning: building an incredible team. We’re hiring for a lot of roles at the moment: Chief of Staff: help me run all our initiatives at the intersection of investing, networks, and media. Senior role with a big impact. Marketings and Comms Leadership: own the narrative for the a16z portfolio and firm. We’re hiring a CMO and a Chief Comms Officer. Head of Podcasts: run, produce, scale our podcasts end-to-end. We’re also looking for a podcast host for new podcasts. Content: define the agenda for tech. Build the most well-read and high-taste tech publication in the industry as an editor, writer, or specialist in growth/operations. Social: build the biggest go-direct channels for the firm and top-tier CEOs, drive content strategy, design and audience growth. Research: help us curate the most important conversations in tech. Networks: Help build digital and IRL community across our extended networks of founders, investors, creators, and the tech ecosystem more broadly. Help run our VIP group chat operation. Help us source and identify amazing future founders at top companies today. College: help us build a network of talented young people on campuses across the country (and the world). Events: own flagship gatherings and summits that create moments people talk about. Video: we want to take flyers on creative directors, content generalists, and aspiring filmmakers in tech. More broadly, we’re interested in hiring anyone doing something exceptional at the intersection of investing and networks or content. People here love the work, the people, and the growth. https://t.co/JW91uv2o73
