Community Engagement Manager

We're opening Charlotte's first startup house, nestled between South End & Dilworth. It's a two-story historic home at 1717 Cleveland Ave where a few resident startups post up, members drop in, and the whole thing is curated around the kind of collisions that lead to real work. It's not a co-working space. Not an office. It's a house for the builders.

We're looking for someone to be the human energy of the house. Someone who'll run the day-to-day, plan and host the events, capture what's happening inside, and tell the story outside. The job is equal parts community host, content creator, and events operator.. and it lives on-site.

What you'll do

• Run day-to-day community at 1717 Cleveland Ave. Resident check-ins, member drop-ins, front-of-house presence during events.
• Plan, program, and host our micro events: Jam Sessions, demo nights, founder dinners, living-room panels, the occasional hackathon.
• Capture content in the moment: photo, video, B-roll, quick interviews.
• Edit and publish short-form video to LinkedIn, Instagram, and TikTok for CLT Startup House, and occasionally for Drew's personal brand.
• Own the CLT Startup House social channels end-to-end: calendar, captions, posting, community DMs.
• Work in an AI-assisted content workflow. Claude is your co-pilot for drafting, repurposing, and community replies.
• Be the first touchpoint for member and resident interest: Typeform intake, tours, follow-up.
• Support the StealthX community flywheel: Marketing Leader Dinners, Founder Jams, and the other rituals that run through the house.

Who you are

• 3-5 years running community, social, events, or hospitality.. or some combination.
• High give-a-s**t factor. You sweat details, take ownership, follow through.
• Strong communicator who writes well, talks well, reads a room.
• Learning mindset and a bias to action.
• Comfortable with video editing and running LinkedIn, Instagram, and TikTok like a pro.
• Charlotte-based. Excited to be on-site. The role doesn't work remote.

How we work (the StealthX Way)

These are the values and principles we hold ourselves to. If any of these feel off, the role probably isn't the right fit.

• Speed to value. We prioritize real impact over activity.
• "I'm not sure, but I'll figure it out." Confident problem-solving under uncertainty.
• Show, not tell. We ship things.
• Care personally and challenge directly.
• Progress over perfection.
• Make space to think.
• Create a pull, not a push.

What we offer

• Full-time W-2 role with medical, dental, vision, 401(k), and PTO.
• On-site at the most talked-about new space in Charlotte.
• Direct access to Drew and the StealthX leadership team.
• Heavy exposure to founders, operators, and marketing leaders.
• Real ownership of a brand and a community from day one.
