Overview

At Hopin, we’re reimagining virtual events.

As the first all-in-one virtual venue for live online events, Hopin brings people together in a highly interactive and engaging online experience that feels just like an in-person event, only without the barriers. Whether it’s a 50-person meetup, or a 50,000-person conference—any type of event organizer can host a Hopin event for their attendees, speakers, sponsors, and vendors to convene, learn, and interact face-to-face online. We’re spearheading the innovative technology that is enabling people to gather online like never before.

Our mission is simple: better connections for a better planet

We believe in events without limits, but events that are sustainable and accessible to everyone—and fun, too! To do this, we need passionate builders and storytellers to join us. Do you love people and technology and the magic that happens when they converge at scale? Do you have the skills and experience we’re looking for to better serve our clients? If so, we’d like to meet.

We’ve been recently funded by a16z, General Catalyst, IVP, Accel, DFJ Growth, Northzone, Coatue, Tiger Global, Salesforce Ventures and many other high profile investors.

The Role
Hopin is looking to appoint its first global Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) leader. In just over one year we have grown from a tiny startup to over 550 employees across 45 countries. We believe that we have both an obligation and an opportunity to create a workplace that is not dominated by a single culture, set of opinions, political view, ethnicity or gender identity. One where each and every person’s lived experience is valued and where everyone feels like they belong. At Hopin we are remote and fully distributed. We don’t have office doors or even geographic borders. We are one global community. With employees from Honduras to the US, the UK to the Ukraine, Nigeria to Australia and about 40 others in between. Our team brings together beautifully diverse perspectives and it is our obligation to ensure that we are building a fully inclusive culture where everyone can succeed.

Responsibilities

This is our first dedicated DEI hire. We are a very young company but we are growing fast. We believe in the importance of having a dedicated DEI leader, at this early stage, so that we are purposeful in how we are building out our teams and our culture. This is an opportunity to really build an inclusive organisation from the beginning of our journey.

This role will be both strategic and operational. You will help shape and articulate our philosophy and strategy and also create the infrastructure to realise that intention. In order to drive greater diversity and create genuine inclusion, this needs to be more than words and statements, we need to operationalise these intentions and beliefs.

At Hopin, we’re committed to cultivating an environment that promotes equality, diversity, and inclusion. We are a global community and we believe our unique qualities must be celebrated as they are critical to our innovation. It’s essential to us that you bring your authentic self to work every single day, no matter your age, ethnicity, religion, citizenship, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability status, neurodiversity, or otherwise. Inclusion isn’t just an initiative at Hopin. We strive to embed it not just into our core values but throughout our entire ecosystem.
