MarketingSocial Media Manager

The Institute of Foundation Models (IFM) is a global AI research lab dedicated to open and independent development of frontier-class foundation models. Launched in May 2025 by MBZUAI, IFM operates from advanced lab facilities in Abu Dhabi, Silicon Valley and Paris. IFM’s model portfolio includes K2 series, the fully open-source fleet of LLMs; Jais, the most advanced Arabic LLM; and PAN, the next-gen World Model for embodied reasoning and real-world simulation.

The Community Manager builds and sustains IFM’s developer community in Silicon Valley, bringing together people interested in our large language models (LLMs) and World Models. The role turns interest in IFM into ongoing participation, collaboration and lasting relationships.

You will own local events, hackathons, online engagement and ecosystem partnerships. Working closely with Developer Relations (DevRel), researchers and Marketing, you will create opportunities for members to learn, build together and stay connected with IFM.

This role requires strong relationship skills and experience building active technical communities. A technical background is highly preferred.
