Getting together with real people in real life makes powerful things happen. Side hustles become careers, ideas become movements, and chance encounters become lifelong connections. Meetup brings people together to create thriving communities. Show up. Change lives.

Our NYC team is seeking a Head of Member Engagement, who will be responsible for defining the vision, strategy and execution for member engagement across Meetup. We’re looking for a customer-focused, data-driven product leader who wants to define and drive the future of Meetup by dramatically increasing the engagement of our 42 million members. You will play a pivotal role in creating a world class experience for Meetup members, one that sparks explosive growth in our engagement metrics.

Driving member engagement may be the single-most important metric in our entire business. The deeper that members engage in Meetup (by joining groups, RSVP’ing and then attending events) the more value we are providing to our Meetup organizers. We can only build a great business if we are driving significant value on both the demand and supply side. High demand by members drives higher supply of organizers setting up Meetups, which in turn drives higher member demand. This role is critical to the future growth of the company.

This role will direct multiple product teams (product, design and engineering). It will oversee strategy as well as analysts, and it will have meaningful autonomy in figuring out the “how” in driving success. Building a successful partnership with senior business, design and engineering leaders is a critical part of this job, so you'll need to be a great communicator and collaborator, in addition to a great leader of people and projects.

What you’ll do:

  • Lay out a vision for what successful engagement looks like on Meetup, and how that drives revenue.
  • Work closely with our highly talented data science team to develop a deep understanding of what drives engagement through data analysis, and use that analysis to quickly test and learn about new growth drivers
  • Create and execute a roadmap that increases engagement
  • Establish KPIs, assess performance and constantly identify improvement opportunities. A strong focus will be on driving RSVPs and show-ups to events.
  • Build a marketing plan to drive engagement
  • Drive a member-centric perspective throughout the organization
  • Work with key stakeholders across design, product, engineering and marketing to identify opportunities to drive engagement
  • Deeply understand the member experience and biggest gaps/opportunities to better focus the team.

You're our ideal teammate if you:

  • Have 10+ years of experience working at a consumer tech or e-commerce company
  • Deeply understand the dynamics of a two-sided marketplace
  • Are intensely analytical, data-driven and focused on driving revenue — to be clear, this individual must absolutely love driving revenue growth
  • Have worked on successful iOS and Android apps and always think first about mobile
  • Are known for building, leading and inspiring awesome teams
  • Are obsessed with measuring the impact of everything that is tested and shipped
  • Collaborate successfully with other senior leaders, especially from design and engineering
  • Think strategically but you're also willing to get your hands dirty
  • Are a creative thinker who brings forward innovative ideas
  • Have a passion for bringing people together, creating community and changing lives

This is an exciting time to join as a Meetup executive. After 16 years of leadership by our Founder, we recently welcomed a new CEO to the company and are in the process of re-evaluating our priorities. Executives who join will be part of this highly dynamic strategy process that will impact our future for years to come. We are also a year into being acquired by WeWork, an amazing partner who continues to significantly invest in our growth.

Our team is bold, supportive, and passionate about bringing people together in real life to create community for everyone. We care about moving fast, real-world change, and building diverse, dynamic teams. We were recently acquired by WeWork, and the company is investing significantly in our growth. You in?

An Insider's view of Meetup

How would you describe the company’s work-life balance?

Meetup promotes a healthy balance and respect around work life, personal life, and family life. It's not simply policy but instead, the culture that lives with all employees (managers and leaders included). Work happens during our traditional business hours.

Harry Chiu

Head of Recruiting

What does your typical day look like?

As an engineer at Meetup, my mission is to build things that help product teams focus on our users and develop our product faster and with better quality. My team mob programs or pair programs by default, which works great for us because it increases code and architecture, knowledge sharing, focus, productivity and team bonding.

How does the company support your career growth?

I created my own professional development path by participating in the Employee Resource Group and Diversity & Inclusion council. Participating and organizing these company initiatives allowed me to stretch my leadership muscles, understand the value of empathizing with my colleagues, and appreciate the ability to use my voice to influence change.

What's something quirky about your company?

What I enjoy the most about working at Meetup is the people. As a mission driven company with a focus on building community, our community sets a great example. I consider myself incredibly lucky to work amongst such incredible individuals. I feel seen, supported, and empowered to not only be my unique self, but to make the changes I know I can.
