About Us:

micro1 is the end-to-end human data infrastructure behind AGI. Our AI recruiter model is used by frontier AI labs and Fortune 10s to source, vet, and deploy PhDs and professors from the world’s top universities at scale. These experts are placed directly into the training loops of the most advanced AI systems, powering the breakthroughs that move models forward. Our data platform converts their expertise into high-signal training datasets, and our talent management tooling measures, routes, and improves performance at scale.

The Role

Own and scale our ecosystem leverage engine, building high-trust relationships with frontier AI and SaaS companies, architecting curated, high-signal experiences, and converting strategic proximity into qualified enterprise pipeline, brand gravity, and long-term market positioning.

• Build direct lines to founders, CTOs, Heads of AI, and Talent leaders.
• Architect high-signal, curated events (private dinners > mass conferences).
• Convert ecosystem relationships into qualified enterprise pipeline.
• Orchestrate co-marketing with frontier companies (e.g., Deel, Ramp, Rippling, Brex, Webflow, Anthropic, OpenAI, Databricks).
• Design audience composition intentionally — ICP-only rooms.
• Own full-stack event ops: venue, sponsorships, branding, sequencing, follow-up.
• Run precision outbound before and after events (email, LinkedIn, X, private communities).
• Track signal: intros → meetings → pipeline → revenue.
• Feed market intelligence back to GTM + leadership.

What We’re Looking For

• Knows how to get into rooms that matter.
• Strong instinct for positioning in AI / SaaS / technical markets.
• Operates fast, structured, high-ownership.
• Exceptional communicator (concise, strategic, persuasive).
• Comfortable engaging C-suite and technical stakeholders.
• Can manage budgets, vendors, timelines without hand-holding.
• Native in LinkedIn, X, Slack/Discord, CRM systems.

Preferred

• Deep network in AI / SaaS / enterprise tech.
• Experience running curated founder or executive events.
• Background in partnerships, ecosystem, or community-led growth.
• Has collaborated with frontier AI or high-growth SaaS companies.
