Head of Community

About FlightStory

We are a media company and investment fund, and we’re on a mission to elevate the stories, build the communities, and support the founders that inspire a happier, healthier humanity. We scale creator-led new media IP and operate an investment fund and venture studio.

Your Mission

The Diary of a CEO has grown into one of the most watched and shared podcasts in the world, reaching over 50 million people every month. Millions of people take ideas from the show and apply them to their lives but so far, they’ve been doing that on their own.

Now we want to bring them together.

We believe community matters more than ever. As we live more of our lives in the digital realm, the need for real connection, shared experiences, and belonging only grows stronger.

Your mission is to turn the energy of this global audience into a community people are proud to be part of. A place where someone in London, Lagos, or Los Angeles doesn’t just engage with an episode and move on, but meets others like them, joins conversations, attends events, and feels they belong to something bigger.

You’ll design the spaces, events, and programmes that make that possible. From local meet-ups to global events, run clubs to retreats.

This will be a defining part of DOAC’s and our audiences' next chapter together and the blueprint for how FlightStory builds communities across all our shows.

Day to Day

Turn the DOAC audience into an active community: Set the plan and systems for how people come together around DOAC, with a model that scales across FlightStory
Create experiences: From local meet-ups and global events to run clubs, retreats, and member-led clubs that foster belonging and connection
Build digital spaces that feel human: Where members share stories, lessons, and wins
Empower advocates: Give members the tools and opportunities to shape the community themselves, turning it from something we run into something they own
Close the feedback loop: Gather stories, feedback, and insights from the community and feed them directly back into DOAC’s content, products, and partnerships
Measure impact: Show the growth of the community through both numbers and stories that prove real connection and change
Experiment and evolve: Test formats, platforms, and ideas (from digital spaces to in-person activations), scaling what works

We're looking for

Building from zero: You’ve built communities or networks from scratch and know what it takes to get them off the ground
Running big events: You’re confident in planning and delivering complex, high-impact experiences that bring people together at scale
Reading culture: You understand what ambitious, curious people want and how to design spaces they want to return to
Making it practical: You know how to turn ideas into systems, habits, and rituals that last
Clear storytelling: You can explain a vision simply and get people excited to join in
Using insight: You’re confident with both data and feedback and know how to use them to improve what you build
Ownership: You take responsibility, find solutions, and keep moving, even when things are unclear

What success looks like

Within 6-12 months, The Diary of a CEO has shifted from having an audience to a community people are proud to be part of.
They’re not just listening on their own anymore - they’re meeting in cities across the world, joining lively online discussions, showing up at events, and creating their own rituals and traditions.
From a run club in London to a retreat in South Africa, members feel connected to each other and to something bigger.
That sense of belonging doesn’t just give them a place to share, be inspired, and grow together - sparks connections and opportunities that reach far beyond the show itself.
The blueprint you’ve created doesn’t stop at DOAC - it becomes the model for how FlightStory turns audiences into communities across all our shows, transforming fandom into participation on a global scale.

You'll thrive here if...

You think like a founder - you take ownership, solve problems, and build from scratch
You’re a doer as much as a thinker - you move fast, test ideas, and make things real
You want to build a community that drives real impact in people’s lives
You’re energised by bringing ambitious people together to connect and grow
You care about the details of the experience as much as the big picture
You thrive in a high-growth, high-energy environment where the goal is impact
