About Lightfield Lightfield is an AI-native CRM that assembles itself from your email, calendar, and meetings. It captures every interaction and turns it into organized context: accounts, tasks, follow-ups, and insights, so nothing slips through the cracks. We’re rethinking CRM from first principles. Instead of forcing teams to maintain rigid systems, Lightfield learns from how companies actually work, adapting, automating, and surfacing the insight that drives growth. We’re building the CRM platform we always wished existed: fast, intelligent, and genuinely helpful. We are backed by Greylock, Lightspeed, and Coatue, and our founders previously built Tome, a generative AI presentation product used by over 25 million people. Before Lightfield, our team worked on Llama, Instagram, Facebook Messenger, Pinterest, Google, and Salesforce.
About
the role We are building Lightfield to be the most helpful, valuable, and significant company in GTM tech. To do this, we're assembling an elite go-to-market team to establish category leadership in CRM, and are starting by partnering with the most innovative early-stage companies. We’re hiring for a Head of Community to mobilize the early-stage founder ecosystem around Lightfield — building a tight online + offline network centered around our HQ in San Francisco. This person will report directly to our Head of GTM.
What you'll do Build and lead the Lightfield founder community. Identify, invite, and cultivate relationships with high-caliber early-stage founders who care about GTM, with a focus on building deep, authentic relationships. Run an in-person event engine. Design and execute events that founders actually want to attend, including events at our San Francisco HQ, as well as activations at third-party tradeshows. Create repeatable community programs. Build structured programs like founder circles, GTM clinics, or “build your first outbound motion” cohorts — and iterate based on what drives real outcomes for members. Grow and manage our founder Slack. Turn Slack into a true peer community where founders share GTM questions, wins, and playbooks with each other. Seed discussions, make intros, and spotlight the best conversations. Turn conversations into content. Capture learnings from events, office hours, and Slack, and turn them into lightweight content (posts, clips, templates) that showcase how the best founders are running modern GTM.
Who you are Track record of success at a fast-paced early-stage company. We have an incredibly ambitious vision, and work hard to achieve it. You’re comfortable with an intense pace, with high standards, and with wearing many hats. Community leadership experience. You know what it takes to get high-caliber people to show up and stay engaged. Deep empathy. You understand the reality of running a small team: juggling product, GTM, fundraising, and hiring. You can talk credibly about go-to-market, not just “community.” World-class event operator. You sweat the details — guest lists, room composition, timing, the first 5 minutes of an event. You’ve shipped events end-to-end and can share examples of formats that worked (and ones that didn’t). Strong writer and communicator. You can write crisp, no-fluff invites, follow-ups, and posts that get busy founders to respond. You’re comfortable on-stage or moderating a panel, and don’t mind being a visible face of the community. Passionate about AI and modern GTM. You’re curious about how AI is changing GTM, and you want to be right in the middle of the teams figuring it out in real time.

Lightfield is an AI-native CRM built for the modern era, designed to replace legacy tools like Salesforce and HubSpot by assembling itself automatically from a team's email, calendar, and meetings. Founded with the mission to become the definitive system of record for the AI era — just as Salesforce defined the cloud era — Lightfield is rethinking CRM from first principles: instead of forcing teams into rigid systems, it learns from how companies actually work, adapting, automating, and surfacing insights that drive growth. The company is backed by top-tier investors including Greylock, Lightspeed, and Coatue, and its founders previously built Tome, a generative AI presentation product used by over 25 million people. The team brings deep pedigree from Llama, Instagram, Facebook Messenger, Pinterest, Google, and Salesforce. Traction has been exceptional: over 3,000 companies have signed up for the product, with more than 100 new sign-ups every week and roughly 30 converting to paying customers weekly. Customers include notable names like Substack and Distill. Lightfield operates a dual go-to-market motion — a high-velocity self-serve PLG funnel paired with a direct sales motion targeting Series A/B startups — and is scaling rapidly with plans to grow its sales team from 1 to 7 AEs by end of year. The culture is high-intensity, mission-driven, and in-office four days a week, attracting missionaries over mercenaries who are genuinely excited about building a category-defining company.
