At Valence Labs, we have spent the past 4 years building and growing some of the largest and most active research communities in our industry. Through hosting and organizing various conferences, events, meetups, and more, we have nurtured a community of 3,000+ researchers working at the intersection of AI and drug discovery. We are seeking a proactive and enthusiastic Community Manager to spearhead our efforts in growing the community and acting as the main liaison between Valence Labs and our external followers.

  • Create and curate engaging content to share updates, announcements, and valuable resources with the community.
  • Oversee and manage our online communities.
  • Respond to inquiries, provide assistance, and proactively engage community members to foster a positive and vibrant online environment.

Requirements:

  • Attention to detail and strong communication skills (written and verbal) with the ability to synthesize simple takeaways from complex and technical ideas. You must be fluent in both French and English.
  • Strong organizational and project management skills, with the ability to handle multiple tasks simultaneously in a highly-technical environment.
  • Comfort working cross-functionally with interdisciplinary research teams.

Nice to have:

  • Experience with UI/UX design

At Valence Labs, we foster an inclusive and diverse work environment. Join our multidisciplinary team of passionate researchers, eager to push the boundaries of ML research and contribute to technology that will transform drug discovery and human health.

The Values That We Hope You Share:

  • We Care: We care about our drug candidates, our Recursionauts, their families, each other, our communities, the patients we aim to serve and their loved ones. We also care about our work.
  • We Learn: Learning from the diverse perspectives of our fellow Recursionauts, and from failure, is an essential part of how we make progress.
  • We Deliver: We are unapologetic that our expectations for delivery are extraordinarily high. There is urgency to our existence: we sprint at maximum engagement, making time and space to recover.
  • Act Boldly with Integrity: No company changes the world or reinvents an industry without being bold. It must be balanced; not by timidity, but by doing the right thing even when no one is looking.
  • We are One Recursion: We operate with a 'company first, team second' mentality. Our success comes from working as one interdisciplinary team.

Recursion spends time and energy connecting every aspect of work to these values. They aren’t static, but regularly discussed and questioned because we make decisions rooted in those values in our day-to-day work. You can read more about our values and how we live them every day here.
