Please see here to learn more about all open positions that I am currently hiring for. One featured position is described below.
Summary:
I’m looking for a sharp, generous, hungry, and highly creative person to join our small team in a marketing and community relations role, managing all aspects of marketing for me personally as I launch my next book (THE ONE AND THE NINETY-NINE), with the potential to also become the Chief Marketing Officer and community manager for The Cluny Institute (cluny.org). My work and the work of Cluny are highly intertwined, and this new role would sit between them, working extremely closely with me but plugging into our broader Cluny team for ambitious marketing and community-building projects as Cluny is quickly growing and entering its second rate of strong growth.
This is a rare opportunity to grow alongside a bestselling author and entrepreneur at the intersection of media, publishing, venture, and culture. Both through my personal platform and through the Cluny Institute, I organize/host at least a dozen events per year, including a large annual conference; will be launching a book with of the largest publishers in the world next year; am growing a global audience of spiritually-serious and spiritually curious people who are interested in the intersection of “Athens, Jerusalem, and Silicon Valley.” You would work directly directly with me and also with our highly talented team at Cluny, which you can learn more about here.
Applicants must have demonstrated ability and savyness with social media across platforms, from Reddit to LinkedIn to X and IG, or at least have shown tremendous creativity on one that would translate to others. Not that social media is the core job function—but it will be a critical part of it, as we’re seeking to develop an anti-mimetic pathway in the online world and do things different that go beyond mere engagement and invite people into deeper experiences.
You’ll learn everything I know. You’ll be in the room where things happen.
You’ll help run the engine behind my work:
– Social media strategy and content
– Newsletter and community growth
– Podcast and press outreach
– Speaking and launch logistics
– Curating special experiences for members of the Cluny community
This is part-time to start—but for the right person, it could become a full-time leadership role within 3–12 months. In order for the full-time position to materialize, working at the Cluny Institute offices in Washington, DC would be my strong preference and possibly a requirement. We are in-office 4 days/week during the academic year, and largely remote during the summer months (roughly June-August).
You are:
– A swiss-army knife operator
– Social media fluent, but anti-mimetic
– Relentlessly proactive—you anticipate needs
– Obsessed with good writing and design
– Humble, hungry, and fast
– You’ve read my work and have a point of view
Not for tourists. Not for people who need a playbook.
But if you’re looking for a high-agency, high-trust apprenticeship with room to grow—this could change your life.
