About the role
Collider is hiring a Community & Events Associate to help make our space, events, and community feel welcoming, well-run, and genuinely useful to the people working here. This is a hands-on role that combines day-to-day office operations, event support, and community building: one day you might be welcoming members and troubleshooting a space issue, the next coordinating a workshop or helping us test a new way for members to connect with one another.
Collider exists to support people working on high-impact causes, including AI safety and reducing global catastrophic risks. This role is a great opportunity for someone early in their career who is excited to contribute to that work through operations and community support.
What you’ll do
Day-to-day office management (50%)
•
Run the office day-to-day, including front desk coverage, visitor check-in, mail and deliveries, vendor coordination, and keeping shared spaces stocked and presentable.
•
Host visitors and guests – Ensuring researchers, fellows, partners, and event attendees feel welcomed from the moment they arrive.
•
Execute operational processes, including member onboarding.
•
Own the small things that compound — the snack supply that never runs out, the conference room that’s always set up correctly, the printer that actually works, etc.
Events (30%)
•
Respond to event requests and partner communications.
•
Coordinate the events calendar.
•
Set up event pages and maintain event listings.
•
Conduct outreach for events.
•
Set up and break down workshops, dinners, talks, and cohort programs.
•
Coordinate catering, AV, and other event logistics.
•
Troubleshoot in real time when something goes sideways.
•
Track event outcomes.
Member Support & Community Building (20%)
•
Support implementation of the member journey, including maintaining onboarding and offboarding checklists, monitoring member feedback, and identifying what is and isn’t working.
•
Support the implementation and testing of new connectivity and activation mechanisms with the Community Manager.
•
For example, run a monthly member spotlight, including interviewing members and preparing the spotlight.
•
Gather and document community insights, including friction points, relationships and collaborations forming, and ideas or needs that members repeatedly raise.
•
Help build the culture of the space through the small touches that make people feel like they’re somewhere thoughtful, not just somewhere functional.
•
Draft member communications.
•
Maintain community metrics and data.
What we’re looking for
Required
•
Genuine warmth with people — you actually like hosting, you remember names and details, and visitors leave feeling better than when they arrived.
•
Strong operational instincts: nothing falls through the cracks, supplies don’t run out, events don’t have surprise problems, and the people around you stop noticing logistics because everything just works.
•
Comfort with the tactical and the unglamorous — running out for last-minute supplies, troubleshooting a broken AV setup ten minutes before a talk, or staying late to reset the space after an event.
•
Handy with IT asks, figuring out why projects don’t connect and helping members connect all sorts of devices.
•
Clear communicator: you keep teammates informed, ask questions when you need to, and surface issues early rather than letting them grow.
•
Discretion and good judgment — you’ll often be the first to know about visitors, schedules, and sensitive situations, and we need to trust your handling of all of it.
Nice to have
•
2+ years of experience in office management, hospitality, events, executive support, or a similar role where taking care of people and spaces was the core of the job.
•
Background in hospitality at a high standard — hotels, restaurants, members’ clubs, or similar environments where guest experience was treated as a craft.
•
Prior experience supporting a mission-driven organization, nonprofit, or social impact work.
•
Event planning experience, especially for small-to-medium professional gatherings (dinners, workshops, retreats).
•
Familiarity with tools like Google Workspace, Slack, Notion, Asana, and Airtable.
•
Interest in AI safety and reducing global catastrophic risks.
