Growth & Community Lead

At Furhat, we're building the world's leading platform for social robotics.

Researchers, universities, and innovation teams around the world use Furhat to explore the future of human-machine interaction, conversational AI, embodied intelligence, digital humans, healthcare, education, psychology, language learning, and much more.

Today, Furhat is used by hundreds of universities, thousands of researchers, and some of the world's most innovative organizations.

• We have a strong product.
• We have happy customers.
• We have a passionate community.

But we believe we can do much more.

That's why we're looking for a Growth & Community Lead.

This is not a traditional marketing role

We're not looking for someone to manage social media calendars or coordinate agencies.

• We're looking for someone who can help us build the growth engine behind Furhat.
• Someone who understands how ideas spread.
• Someone who understands communities.
• Someone who gets excited about turning customers into advocates, advocates into ambassadors, and ambassadors into future customers.

Our customers don't typically buy after seeing one advertisement.

They discover Furhat through conferences, research papers, colleagues, videos, workshops, and community discussions.

Sometimes over months. Sometimes over years.

Your mission will be simple:

Help more of the right people discover Furhat, engage with our community, and eventually become customers.

What you'll do

You'll work directly with the leadership team and lead our marketing efforts.

You'll have two talented marketers on the team already and will help shape priorities, improve execution, and raise the overall level of our marketing operation.

Some of the things you'll work on include:

• Growing and activating the Furhat community
• Increasing inbound demand and awareness
• Creating customer advocacy programs
• Building relationships with researchers and innovation leaders
• Showcasing customer success stories
• Running webinars, workshops, and community initiatives
• Supporting conference and event strategy
• Improving our marketing funnel and systems
• Measuring what works and doubling down on it
• Working closely with sales, product, and leadership

Skills & Requirements

What we're looking for

We're less interested in titles and more interested in what you've actually built.

You might have experience in:

• Startups
• Deep-tech companies
• Developer tools
• Research platforms
• Scientific communities
• Open-source ecosystems
• Technical products with passionate user bases

You probably enjoy both strategy and execution.

You can zoom out and think about long-term growth.

But you're equally happy jumping into HubSpot, running a webinar, interviewing a customer, writing copy, or analyzing funnel performance.

You're curious.

You experiment.

You measure results.

You care about impact more than activity.

You'll probably thrive here if...

• You've built or grown a community before
• You've worked in a startup environment
• You enjoy creating things from scratch
• You like talking to customers
• You're comfortable wearing many hats
• You're energized by ownership
• You love technology and innovation

You probably won't enjoy this role if...

• You prefer managing agencies rather than building things yourself
• You want a large marketing department and big advertising budgets
• You mainly focus on branding exercises and presentations
• You dislike working directly with customers and users
• You want a highly structured corporate environment

Why join Furhat?

Social robots are still at the beginning of their journey.

AI is rapidly changing how humans interact with technology.

We believe the next generation of intelligent systems will not only speak and listen — they will have a physical presence, express emotions, and interact naturally with people.

Furhat sits at the center of that transformation.

You'll have the opportunity to work with a global community of researchers and innovators who are shaping the future of human-machine interaction.

And you'll help us grow one of the most exciting communities in robotics and AI.
