Companies like SKIMS, Figma, Riot Games, Anthropic, COMPLEX, Nordstrom, and Morningbrew are using Sanity to power and automate their content operations. In this role, you'll be the face of Sanity in developer communities - online and IRL. You'll own the programs that give developers a reason to build with Sanity, manage the relationships that make those programs work, and ship content that earns credibility in the communities that matter.

You can write code, ship demos, and speak credibly with developers about what they're actually building - You actively use AI coding tools and can talk about AI-assisted development in a way that doesn't sound like a press release - You understand the world of web development and can speak on the current state of web dev tools and how AI is transforming them. - You understand community dynamics - you know the difference between a healthy community and a performative one, and you've built or grown the former - Strong public speaker - comfortable on stage, in workshops, and in hallway conversations at conferences - Organized enough to run multiple programs simultaneously without dropping balls; people-oriented enough to make contributors feel recognized and valued - Opinionated about which communities and events actually matter (and which don't) WHAT SETS YOU APART: - You've run a community program before - not just participated in one - You have an existing presence in developer communities relevant to Sanity (JavaScript, Next.js, content tooling, AI dev tools) - Track record of empowering developers and showing them what you’ve built - Bonus: Background with headless CMS, content platforms, or AI dev tooling WHAT WE CAN OFFER: - A highly-skilled, inspiring, and supportive team - Positive, flexible, and trust-based work environment that encourages long-term professional and personal growth - A global, multi-culturally diverse group of colleagues and customers - Comprehensive health plans and perks - A healthy work-life balance that accommodates individual and family needs - Competitive stock options program and location-based salary WHO WE ARE: Sanity.io http://Sanity.io is a modern, flexible content operating system that replaces rigid legacy content management systems.
