[Hiring] Senior Association Manager @Creative Times Academy

Role Description

We are seeking a Senior Association Manager with deep experience in Web3, venture capital, and startup ecosystems to help operate and scale a Web3-focused venture & investment association. This role is designed for a seasoned association leader who already understands Pre-IPO, IPO, and post-IPO capital pathways, and has previously managed or built high-level founder, investor, or capital-market communities.

What We’re Looking For:

• This role is not for general nonprofit administrators.
• Has direct experience managing venture, startup, investment, or Web3-related associations or communities.
• Understands the full capital lifecycle: Pre-Seed, Pre-IPO, IPO, and Post-IPO.
• Already maintains a strong personal network (“own collection”) of founders, investors, family offices, funds, or capital-market professionals.
• Has successfully recruited, onboarded, and activated senior-level members into high-value ecosystems.
• Is comfortable operating in environments involving capital, governance, discretion, and trust.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead day-to-day operations of a Web3 venture & investment association.
• Design and execute member recruitment and onboarding strategies for founders, investors, and partners.
• Actively connect members to capital pathways, programs, committees, and strategic collaborations.
• Manage relationships with senior stakeholders, advisors, and board members.
• Oversee association events, private forums, communications, and ecosystem growth.
• Ensure the association functions as a real value network, not a passive membership list.

Qualifications

• 10+ years of experience managing venture, investment, Web3, or capital-market–focused associations or communities.
• Proven background working with founders, funds, family offices, or institutional capital.
• Demonstrated success in ecosystem building, member activation, and high-trust community management.
• Strong strategic thinking, communication, and stakeholder-management skills.
• High level of professionalism, discretion, and execution capability.
