Pace Ventures Portfolio Jobs — 6 open

This role leads the intentional creation and upkeep of Dunia’s culture and community, designing rituals, traditions, and practical systems that help a small, ambitious team feel connected, energized, and effective. You’ll work across founders, engineers, and scientists to surface problems early, run high-quality candidate outreach, and make everyday employee experiences warmer and more reliable.

What youll do

• Design and run weekly rituals, team socials, monthly activities, celebrations, and quarterly offsites.
• Create authentic traditions and shared experiences that feel distinctly Dunia.
• Make all‑hands and collective meetings more energetic, interactive, and participatory.
• Build trusted relationships across the company and keep a continuous pulse on team sentiment.
• Notice disengagement or frustration and reach out proactively to offer support or escalate when needed.
• Review monthly team updates to spot asks, recurring themes, or tone changes and follow through.
• Source and outreach to candidates via LinkedIn, communities, referrals, and other creative channels.
• Screen candidates for motivation, values, judgment, and cultural contribution and support interview coordination.
• Own practical, people‑facing problems that lack an owner and create workable solutions without a full playbook.
• Maintain lightweight people‑ops: onboarding experiences, trackers, follow‑ups, and internal documentation.
• Coordinate across founders, employees, vendors, and external partners and execute details reliably.

What Dunia Innovations is looking for

• Energetic, empathetic, highly organized individual with strong social energy who genuinely enjoys bringing people together.
• Background in community management, employee experience, recruiting, events, hospitality, startup ops, university communities, or similar.
• Strong emotional judgment, ability to handle sensitive conversations, and to rally reluctant participants without making culture feel forced.
• High agency, low ego, comfort operating without detailed playbooks, and willingness to do both visible and unglamorous work.
• Startup mindset: obsessed with speed, urgency, impact, and challenging the status quo.
• AI‑native curiosity and experience: you build workflows, experiment with tools, write prompts, or create automations to make work faster (engineering skills not required).
• Warm, approachable, persistent communicator who can give founders honest, practical views of team sentiment.
