Company Overview

Owting is a social networking platform built to reduce loneliness by making it easier for people to meet and reconnect with friends in person. The company’s mission centers on better wellbeing through real-world social connection, accessible technology, and stronger neighborhood communities.

Role Summary

Owting is hiring a Local Growth, Community Partnerships, and Events Manager to help introduce and scale active communities in priority local areas. The role is aimed at solving the early-stage “cold start” challenge: generating enough local participation, partner support, events, and community energy for the app to become genuinely useful and engaging in a particular city or neighborhood.

You will research local groups, spot partnership opportunities, assist with outreach efforts, organize events and activations, and translate community insights into practical growth actions. You’ll collaborate closely with the product and marketing teams to improve acquisition, engagement, and retention.

• Support outreach, partnership-building, and grassroots growth initiatives.
• Assist in planning and running community events, activations, and promotional activities.
• Monitor metrics related to acquisition, engagement, retention, and overall local activity.
• Convert data and user feedback into concrete next steps.
• Communicate with users, partners, and internal stakeholders clearly and professionally.
• Help drive initiatives that expand Owting’s visibility in local markets.

Required Profile

• Clear communication skills and the ability to represent the company professionally.
• Comfort analyzing data, metrics, and user behavior.
• Basic experience in sales, outreach, partnerships, or business development.
• Good project coordination habits, including organization, follow-through, and timeline management.
• Genuine interest in community building, local events, social apps, or social impact work.
• Ability to work independently while operating remotely.
• Helpful familiarity with social platforms, online communities, event tools, or grassroots marketing.
• Education or coursework in Business, Marketing, Communications, Public Relations, Entrepreneurship, or a related discipline is preferred, though not mandatory.
