Program Manager, Community (Contract)

Headquarters: Remote - US

Airtable is the no-code app platform that empowers people closest to the work to accelerate their most critical business processes. More than 500,000 organizations, including 80% of the Fortune 100, rely on Airtable to transform how work gets done.

We're looking for a Community Program Manager to help scale and evolve Airtable's customer community programs. This role sits within the Digital Programs team, which brings together Community, Education, and AI Programs to help customers learn, adopt, and succeed with Airtable.

You'll help grow Airtable Community into a strategic driver of customer engagement and meaningful AI adoption by building programs, systems, and experiences that connect customers with one another and accelerate learning. Key areas of focus include scaling our user group program (Airtable Builder Crews), expanding community engagement initiatives, and strengthening the operational foundation that supports a growing portfolio of community programs.

Airtable Community is more than a place for customers to connect—it's a strategic lever for driving product adoption. Our north star is increasing AI feature adoption and AI weekly active users (AI WAUs), and this role will help design and scale the programs that move customers from AI curiosity to AI proficiency.

We're looking for someone who is equal parts program manager, community builder, and operator—someone who thrives in ambiguity, embraces experimentation, and can turn ideas into scalable programs with measurable impact.

This is a full-time contractor role.
