Communications Associate
Location: San Francisco, CA (Required), travel-ready
Team: Communications
Reports To: Co-Founder / Communications Partner
Experience: 3 to 7 years
About Laude
Laude Institute is a nonprofit research organization built by and for computer scientists who ship their research. We back impact-driven researchers turning breakthrough ideas into open-weight models, open-source infrastructure, and real-world tools. Our goal is to accelerate the most important research and get it into people's hands faster.
On the Institute side, we are funded by individual technologists and anchored by a $100M commitment from Andy Konwinski. On the Ventures side, our inaugural $150M fund is backed by top institutional LPs and 50+ of the world's leading computer scientists.
About the Role
We're hiring a Communications Associate to plug into every corner of our communications and marketing work. This is an early-days role on a small, ambitious team, and the right person will grow with it.
You'll work directly with the Co-Founder / Communications Partner across editorial content, social media, podcast production, events, and community programming. You'll be essential to making every channel run, and there is real room to build, take on more, and leave your mark. We're looking for someone with a lot to prove and the drive to prove it: a generalist who moves fast, figures things out, and brings genuine curiosity about AI and frontier research to everything they do. If you're spikey in one or two areas, even better.
This role is part editorial assistant, part associate producer, part marketing manager, part community builder, and part operational glue. The communications function is central to what we do, and this role sits at the heart of it. You'll work directly with the co-founder, have proximity to world-class researchers, and shape how a breakthrough institution tells its story from the earliest days. This role is the entry point to an enormous next career chapter for the right person.
This role is based in San Francisco. You'll be in our lab most days and will travel, including internationally, to support convenings and events.
What You'll Do
Comms team operations
Editorial and content
Social media
Podcast production
Events and community
Gifting and swag
PR support
Who You Are
Experience
3 to 7 years across some combination of communications, marketing, editorial, production, or administrative support. Backgrounds in journalism, publishing, podcast or event production, executive assistance, or early-stage startups are all relevant. We care about how you work and the quality of your output more than the precise shape of your resume.
Nice to Have
To Apply
Tell us who you are and what draws you to Laude. Include 1 to 2 writing samples that reflect your style and range. Links to published work, social accounts you've contributed to, content series, or collaborative projects are welcome.
Compensation
Salary range $90,000 to $130,000 plus equity based on experience.

About Laude
Laude Institute is a nonprofit research organization built by and for computer scientists who ship their research. We back impact-driven researchers turning breakthrough ideas into open-source infrastructure and real-world tools. Our goal is to accelerate the most important research and get it into people's hands faster.
On the Institute side, we are funded by individual technologists and anchored by a $100M commitment from Andy Konwinski. On the Ventures side, our inaugural $150M fund is backed by top institutional LPs and 50+ of the world's leading computer scientists. Our community is a who's who of AI and computer science researchers from the most advanced labs in the world, and we convene them regularly to push the frontier forward together.
About the Role
Laude's events are not ancillary to the mission. They are one of its primary expressions. We bring together the people defining the frontier of AI and computer science, and the rooms we create, the atmospheres we set, and the moments we engineer have lasting effects on how that community sees itself and what it builds together.
We're hiring an Events Lead to own this function end to end across both Laude Institute and Laude Ventures. You'll produce our flagship gatherings, including the Ship Your Research (SYR) Summit, Open Frontier, as well as Laude Lounge VIP activations at NeurIPS and other major conferences. You'll book and execute our programming at our San Francisco venue Laude Lab, which serves as homebase for the leading edge of the computer science research community. You'll pull together salon-style conversations, VIP dinners, our Annual General Meeting, and researcher gatherings. And you'll develop and steward the aesthetic and experiential identity that runs through all of it.
We take strong cues from the music industry. Laude creates rare air for the living edge of the frontier AI research community. The standard here isn't polished corporate marketing. It's something with more energy, more intention, and more soul than that.
This role requires deep event production experience, genuine hospitality instincts, and enough technical and scientific literacy to earn the trust of the community we serve. You should be as comfortable managing a budget and negotiating a venue as you are briefing a keynote speaker or setting the right tone for a late-night dinner. You're a builder and a host in equal measure.
This is a mostly on-site role based out of Laude Lab in San Francisco, with travel (at times internationally) to produce activations on the ground.
What You'll Do
Who You Are
Nice to Have
To Apply
Tell us about a convening you're proud of, what you built, how the room felt, and what you'd do differently. Include a brief description of your production background and any links to past work, press coverage, or programming you've curated.
