Startup Marketing Associate - Render

About Render

At Render, we’re building the modern cloud platform for developers creating AI-native, full-stack, multi-service applications. Our mission is to eliminate the tradeoff between the power of hyperscalers and the simplicity of developer-friendly platforms.

About the Role

The Render Startup Program is how we earn our place as the default cloud for the next generation of builders. As our Startup Marketing Associate, you'll be the operational engine and the on-the-ground face of the program. You'll take ownership of the day-to-day mechanics that keep the program humming and build our SF founder-dinner motion from the ground up.

What You'll Do

• Run the operational backbone: Own application triage, credit issuance, partner UTM tracking, and CRM hygiene (HubSpot/Airtable).
• Build and run the SF founder engine: Source and curate guest lists, manage venues, invitations, and logistics for high-quality founder events.
• Drive event marketing: Craft invitations, landing pages, and follow-up sequences that resonate with a technical audience.
• Partner with Developer Relations: Ensure content and programming land credibly with a technical crowd.
• Grow Render's footprint: Build relationships across founders, operators, accelerators, and VC platform teams.
• Close the loop: Track attendance, attribution, and conversion to measure program impact.

What We're Looking For

• 4-6 years of experience in sales, partnerships, marketing, operations, or developer relations.
• Deep roots in the SF startup ecosystem: You are a natural connector with a strong network.
• Fluency in the venture landscape: Understanding of the AI transformation and how startups build.
• Developer empathy: An instinct for how developers adopt tools and a distaste for traditional "marketing-heavy" tactics.
• High agency: Strong organizational skills and the ability to own logistics end-to-end.
• Location: Based in San Francisco, including availability for evening events.

Benefits

• 4 weeks of paid vacation.
• 14 weeks of fully paid parental leave.
• 100% employer-paid medical; 99% employer-paid dental and vision.
• 401K, long-term disability, and life insurance.
• Monthly lifestyle, wellness, and internet/cell phone stipends.
• Commuter benefits and home office support.
• Continuous learning benefits.
