Community Manager

About the role

Adaptyv is building an automated lab that lets AI agents run biology experiments, and is growing fast. As Community Manager you will make sure the company shows up well in public every day: managing its social presence on X and LinkedIn, running the Proteinbase community, owning the participant side of open competitions and hackathons, and triaging inbound community and customer messages. It is a hands-on, high-ownership role working closely with the founders and the science team.

Key responsibilities

• Manage the day-to-day social presence on X and LinkedIn: product updates, customer wins, blog amplifications, conference content and reactive posts.
• Run the Proteinbase community: newsletter, competition updates, designer spotlights and the Slack where participants and contributors gather.
• Own the participant-facing side of open competitions and hackathons, from applicant communication and rules to judging logistics and post-event recaps, turning each event into a public artifact (leaderboard, dataset, blog post).
• Triage inbound community and customer messages, routing deeper technical questions to the right person on the team.
• Coordinate with the founders and the science team on what to post, what to amplify and what to hold.

Required profile

• 1-3 years running social, content or community for a technical company, a science-adjacent media brand, an event series or a community platform; self-built audiences and adjacent experience count equally.
• A strong, distinctive writing voice, moving between LinkedIn announcements, customer replies and community posts without generic AI phrasing.
• Genuine curiosity about biology and AI, able to follow technical conversations in protein design and AI without a science degree.
• Highly organized, able to juggle multiple channels, partnerships and ongoing threads and build systems to track them.
• Comfortable with ambiguity, deciding what to post based on what is being shipped and what the field is discussing.

Bonus: existing presence in protein design or AI bio circles, prior experience running a hackathon or competition, short-form video editing, or a track record of building a technical community from scratch. Location: on-site or remote with timezone overlap with US or Europe, occasional travel to Lausanne and events. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis.
