Community Manager

About Aethos

Aethos is an experiential, design-led hospitality group creating places where people come not simply to stay, but to connect, discover and belong.

At Aethos London, we're building a new kind of members' club in the heart of East London: a cultural hub shaped as much by the people within it as the space itself.

Our members are not passive participants in the community. They are creatives, founders, entrepreneurs, cultural voices and connectors who actively help shape the energy of the club. We want them collaborating with us, introducing ideas, hosting conversations, building events and bringing their own communities into Aethos.

Our role is to create the platform for those connections to happen, and to build a programme of experiences that keeps Aethos relevant, exciting and deeply connected to the city around us.

We're looking for an experienced Community Manager and event curator to help shape the next chapter of Aethos London — someone who is, first and foremost, a cultural connector, and second, a meticulous operator who can turn that instinct into a flawlessly run programme.

This is a highly social, outward-facing role for someone who understands London culture, knows what is happening across the city, and is naturally embedded within its creative and emerging communities.

You’ll bring your own network of cultural connectors, creatives, founders, collectives, event concepts and emerging communities, and will constantly be thinking about who should know about Aethos, who should be in the room, and what we could create together.

At the heart of the role is member event programming. You will lead the member events calendar from concept through to completion, working with members, partners and the wider Aethos team — including Food & Beverage as a true creative partner to build a programme that feels distinctive to us.

You won’t simply programme events for our members; you’ll create them with our members, and you’ll be the person they come to first — the recognisable, trusted face who helps turn a member's idea into a real experience at Aethos.

• Lead the Aethos London member events programme, developing a considered calendar of cultural, social, wellness, food, music and community-led experiences.
• Own concepts from initial idea through to execution and post-event review, including a clear-eyed assessment of what worked and what to change next time.

• Take complete ownership of event planning and delivery: meeting with members and external partners, developing concepts, agreeing requirements, scheduling and coordinating stakeholders.
• Produce detailed, accurate run sheets, timings and briefing documents for every event, and keep them current as details change — nothing should be left to memory or assumption on the day.
• Track budgets, supplier quotes, contracts and costs against plan for each event vs the monthly and annual events budget.
• Maintain the events calendar, member communications and administrative systems with genuine precision, this role balances a highly social presence with the discipline to keep every detail correct.

• Work in complete synergy with the Food & Beverage team to develop and deliver programming that feels fully integrated into the wider Aethos experience.
• Collaborate closely on menus, formats, timings, operational requirements and guest journeys, ensuring concepts are both creatively exciting and operationally strong.

• Build strong relationships with members and identify opportunities for them to contribute to the life of the club.
• Discover the founders, artists, chefs, musicians, creatives, thinkers and connectors already within our community, and work with them to develop events, collaborations and experiences.
• Be the person members think of first when they have an idea, a project or a connection they want to bring into Aethos — approachable, responsive and genuinely invested in helping their ideas happen.

• Be embedded in London's social and cultural landscape,…
