Audience Community Lead

About the job

The Core is a business insights and analyses publication with a flagship podcast, The Core Report with Govindraj Ethiraj, and a newsletter with 85,000 subscribers—read and heard largely by C-suite and business leaders.

We’re looking for an Audience Community Lead to build an engaged community by expanding our offline presence through curated, high-signal gatherings—and extending those moments onto social.

What you’ll do

• Build our offline community engine starting with invite-only micro events in Mumbai.

• Own end-to-end planning and execution of monthly round tables and breakfast briefings.

• Help convert select gatherings into live podcast recordings (planning, run-of-show, guest coordination).

• Curate the room: bring together a strong mix of business leaders across roles (CXOs, founders, investors, operators, policy/markets).

• Partner closely with Govindraj Ethiraj and the Marketing Head to shape formats, themes, and guest lists.

• Extend event moments into social/community narratives (before + during + after), working with marketing/editorial.

• Over time, support partnerships/sponsor ships tied to events and community initiatives.

What success looks like (6–12 months)

• A consistent cadence of high-quality monthly micro events.

• Attendance quality: the right people in the room, strong conversations, repeat participation.

• Improved brand perception:
The Core becomes a trusted convening platform for business leaders.

What we’re looking for

• 3–5 years experience in community, events, media, B2B marketing, partnerships, or related roles.

• Strong people instincts: you can invite, follow up, host, and build relationships with senior stakeholders.

• Solid execution: you can plan, coordinate vendors/venues, manage timelines, and run a tight event.

• Comfort working in an editorial brand environment; you have taste and can maintain “signal over noise.”

- • Hungry to learn—if you don’t have everything, you can grow into it quickly
