ABOUT POSTHOG

We're shipping every product that companies need https://posthog.com/handbook/why-does-posthog-exist from their first day, to the day they IPO, and beyond. The operating system for folks who build products.

We started with open-source product analytics, launched out of Y Combinator's W20 cohort https://posthog.com/handbook/story. We've since shipped more than a dozen products https://posthog.com/products, including:

- A built-in data warehouse https://posthog.com/docs/data-warehouse, so users can query product and customer data together using custom SQL insights.

- A customer data platform https://posthog.com/docs/cdp, so they can send their data wherever they need with ease.

- Max AI, https://posthog.com/max an AI-powered analyst that answers product questions, helps users find useful session recordings, and writes custom SQL queries.

Next on the roadmap are CRM, messaging, revenue analytics, and support products. When we say every product, we really mean it!

We are:

1. Product-led. More than 100,000 companies have installed PostHog, mostly driven by word-of-mouth. We have intensely strong product-market fit.

2. Well-funded. We've raised more than $100m from some of the world's top investors https://posthog.com/handbook/strategy/investors. We're set up for a long, ambitious journey.

3. Default alive. Revenue is growing 10% MoM on average, and we're very efficient. We raise money to push ambition and grow faster, not to keep the lights on.

We're focused on building an awesome product for end users, hiring exceptional teammates, shipping fast, and being as weird as possible https://posthog.com/deskhog.

THINGS WE CARE ABOUT

- Transparency: Everyone can read about our roadmap, how we pay (or even let go of) people, our strategy, and how we work, in our public company handbook https://posthog.com/handbook. Internally, we share revenue, notes and slides from board meetings, and fundraising plans, so everyone has the context they need to make good decisions.

- Autonomy: We don’t tell anyone what to do. Everyone chooses what to work on next based on what's going to have the biggest impact on our customers, and what they find interesting and motivating to work on. Engineers lead product teams https://posthog.com/handbook/wide-company and make product decisions https://posthog.com/handbook/which-products. Teams are flexible and easy to change when needed.

- Shipping fast: Why not now? https://posthog.com/handbook/values#why-not-now We want to build a lot of products; we can't do that shipping at a normal pace. We've built the company around small teams – autonomous, highly-efficient groups of cracked engineers https://posthog.com/founders/cracked-manifesto who can outship much larger companies because they own their products end-to-end.

- Time for building: Nothing gets shipped in a meeting. We're a natively remote company. We default to async communication – PRs > Issues > Slack. Tuesdays and Thursdays are meeting-free days https://posthog.com/handbook/company/culture#were-on-the-makers-schedule, and we prioritize heads down building time over perfect coordination. This will be the most productive job you've ever had.

- Ambition: We want to solve big problems. We strongly believe aiming for the best possible upside, and sometimes missing, is better than never trying. We're optimistic about what's possible and our ability to get there.

- Being weird: Weird means redesigning an already world-class website for the 5th time. It means shipping literally every product that relates to customer data. It means building an objectively unnecessary developer toy https://posthog.com/deskhog with dubious shareholder value. Doing weird stuff is a competitive advantage. And it's fun.

JOB SUMMARY

You'll help grow a community of PostHog builders by hosting impactful events around the world where people can learn about PostHog and build great products. You'll define what those events look like, bring the concepts to life, attend, and present at (some of) them.

As part of the soon-to-be community team, you’ll uncover ways in which IRL experiences can deliver more value (and fun!) to the people who fall into our ideal customer persona.

WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING

- Dreaming up and running events that our users don't want to miss

- Attending roughly 20% of the events you organize

- Identifying new event partners for us to work with

- Focusing on IRL events that drive actual adoption (no boring webinars)

WHAT YOU WON'T BE DOING

❌ Scanning badges, doing sales pitches, and networking to boot

❌ Running all of our IRL event marketing (you'll have help)

❌ Attending and submitting CFPs to conferences

❌ Just organizing hackathons (we're 1 to N, not 0 to 1)

REQUIREMENTS

- Experience with organizing events for developers and builders before

- Reasonably technical. You don't have to be a software engineer, but you should be able to talk breezily about all our features and converse with founders/engineers

- Willing to travel for events

- Confidence is a must-have, as you'll be meeting a lot of new people

Nice to have:

- Experience working with partner companies and organizations in the developer ecosystem

- Have shown to challenge boundaries of what’s currently possible in previous work

If you have a disability, please let us know if there's any way we can make the interview process better for you - we're happy to accommodate!
