Campus Lead

Our mission is to automate coding. The first step in our journey is to build the best tool for professional programmers, using a combination of inventive research, design, and engineering. Our organization is very flat, and our team is small and talent dense. We particularly like people who are truth‑seeking, passionate, and creative. We enjoy spirited debate, crazy ideas, and shipping code.

In this role, you will develop and own our playbook for getting Cursor into the hands of computer science students at top universities. You’ll partner closely with student organizations and professors to help students make the most of Cursor. You will own our student discount program and build out a campus ambassador program.

This is a builder role. You’ll define the roadmap for our campus programs while operating in a high‑autonomy environment.

• Own our student discount program; make sure we’re getting Cursor into the hands of computer science students at all the top universities
• Scale our student discount in a sustainable way
• Launch and grow the Campus Ambassador program across universities, empowering student developers to teach and represent Cursor at their schools
• Support Campus Ambassadors with playbooks, resources, and real-time guidance to run successful hackathons and workshops
• Partner with university clubs and organizations
• Collaborate with the marketing team to share the story of how students are building Cursor

• 1‑5 years at a high‑velocity startup where you owned a meaningful community program
• Operationally excellent, manage multiple work streams simultaneously without dropping details, even across time zones
• Strong bias toward action, not afraid to dive into the weeds and do whatever it takes to ship
• You have empathy and understand what makes communities tick
• Thrive in fast‑paced environments, comfortable with ambiguity, energized by building new things
• Passionate about education and helping students on their journey
