**About Tailscale**

Tailscale is making safe connection effortless by delivering software that makes it easy to securely interconnect people and their devices, no matter where they are. From hobbyists to multinational corporations, teams of every size use Tailscale each day to protect their networks, share access to internal tools, and more. We're building a future for the Internet that's easy, sensible, and safe, like it used to be. Founded in 2019 and fully distributed, we're backed by Accel, CRV, Insight, Heavybit, and Uncork Capital.

### About the Role

The Community Programs team creates the spaces, programs, and opportunities that help our community thrive. We're looking for a Community Engagement and Advocacy Manager to help us strengthen relationships with the people who use, build with, and advocate for Tailscale.

In this role, you'll own and grow three important areas of our community: the Tailscale Insiders advocacy program, our digital communities, specifically Discord and Reddit, and our Community Projects program.

You'll focus on creating meaningful opportunities for community members to connect, contribute, share their expertise, and be recognized for the work they do. Whether that's helping an Insider find their next speaking opportunity, bringing Tailscale staff into conversations on Discord, or showcasing an exciting community-built project, you'll help turn community participation into lasting relationships and advocacy.

You'll work closely with teams across Tailscale, including Developer Relations, Product, Engineering, Marketing, and Support, to connect community members with the right people, resources, and opportunities.

We're looking for someone who genuinely enjoys working with people, understands what makes communities thrive, and can turn ideas into thoughtful, well-run programs. You don't need to be deeply technical, but you should be curious about technology and excited to learn from the people building with it.

### Key Responsibilities
