• A community builder at heart, with a proven track record of growing communities, passionate about fostering meaningful connections and sparking conversations.
• Able to write copy that’s both informative and irresistible to support the content initiatives.
• A visual storyteller who can turn ideas into captivating photos and videos, with the ability to work in design and editing software as needed
• Experience working with influencers/ambassadors and community members, helping ensure the brand’s needs are met but also they have a great experience interacting with us

• A self-starter and go-getter, comfortable working independently and taking ownership of projects.
• A team player who thrives in a collaborative environment and loves being part of something bigger than themselves.

WHO WE ARE

Let’s Do This is the online company getting people offline.
We exist to inspire people across the world to come together and experience moments that make them feel alive. We’re currently going after mass participation sports events (Marathons, Triathlons, 10Ks, 5Ks, swim races), where we’re proud to be the global leader.
We’re at a super exciting and rapid stage of our development. We now take over 1.5 million bookings every year, driving growth for our industry from large-scale races like the UK’s London Marathon Events, Great North Run and San Francisco’s Bay To Breakers to hero races like the Hackney Half, the London Triathlon, or grassroots races like those from RunThrough.
We’ve grown exponentially in the UK since our launch in 2017 and are now in the process of expanding within the US market with the same energy our brand represents. We’ve raised $90M to date and were the fastest growing company on YCombinator, and our investors also include Tier 1 VCs NFX, EQT, and legendary individuals Serena Williams and Usain Bolt.
