There are three types of people that join

Remote-first Founders &
C-level executives

People who actively run remote operations for their established companies of min 5+ employees. Founders who are scaling & building their business and need help with remote management. Whether you’ve been remote-first from the start or just transitioning now it’s a place for you.

People Ops Executives for remote-first companies

Executives who “design work” to enable employees to bring their best to the job every day. They are pro-actively involved in shaping strategic decisions around work by understanding high-level business objectives and crucial aims for remote-first companies.

Heads of Remote

Executives who are focused on making remote work as easy and rewarding as possible for the company’s employees. People who serve as a cross-functional internal consultant to evolve key pillars e.g. L&D, knowledge management, and onboarding so that each function becomes more effective in a distributed setting.

Join a network of remote-first founders & executives​

Every member of our diverse community has been in your shoes. They’ve built remote companies like TaxJar, HelpScout, Insured Nomads, Time Doctor, and Forshay, MURAL. They understand the struggle of building and running a remote-first company.

What our members are saying

I've been a member of this community for several years, and it never fails to deliver high-quality first-hand advice from others who are trying to make remote work, work, at the highest possible level. From the peer-to-peer monthly masterminds to the 1:1 connections made with members who are going through similar challenges I'm always grateful for the extra layer of guidance I receive here. If you are a leader at a distributed company, I'd highly recommend joining.

Chase WarringtonHead of Remote | Doist.com
When we took our company fully remote in 2020, I joined a number of remote-work focused groups to fast track my network and knowledge base. Running Remote stood out as the place I was able to tap into the expertise and guidance from leaders around the world and became my go to resource. I was honored to be part of their Masterminds pilot where I learned from the best and formed lasting relationships. This is a real community of like-minded individuals. I’ve left all the other groups I joined behind.

Running Remote Community is a great place to connect & learn from other remote-first founders & leaders, I couldn’t recommend it more. I especially loved being paired with peers for mastermind sessions. It was invaluable and reassuring to hear that others shared some of the same challenges as we have, and inspiring to hear how they had tackled them. By sharing the challenges and tackling them together, it has helped me become a better remote leader.

What an amazing platform for exchanging remote work challenges and learning with and from others through open discussions, conferences, and great content! I love the office-hours channel that features a different remote work expert bi-weekly who answers any questions about building & running your remote company.

Running Remote community attracted people that understand their output is more important than whatever it is they're looking for. People share ideas, listen, question, exchange experiences. I get this feeling of being surrounded by people at the top of their game, and that makes me want to improve myself on a daily basis and keep learning even more than I was before.

What a great community for remote-first leaders! I really appreciated the monthly founder’s masterminds. It was great to connect with other remote founders and discuss how each other solve for relevant challenges. It gave me a good perspective and insights to implement in my own company.

I’ve tried a bunch of remote communities. Running Remote is right at the top of the list. The conferences have always been great, and over the last few years they created a fantastic online community - an engaging and supportive group, especially if you are interested in Remote People Ops. There are a wide range of folks in roles like Heads of Remote, People Ops and Founders from big companies and small sharing insights on variety of topics from organising retreats, through recruiting, payroll, diversity and inclusion to managing through layoffs.

Who is the Running Remote community for?

Running Remote Community is for founders & executives (i.e. C-level executives, HR and People Ops professionals, Heads of Remote) who are actively running and leading remote-first (or hybrid) companies with over 5 employees.

Who is it not for?

The community is not intended for non executive managers, junior employees, marketing & sales professionals, remote work consultants and companies with less than 5 employees (whether that be contractors or full-time employees).

What’s the application process like?

We are vetting every application to ensure high-quality connections and opportunities. To apply, we ask you to fill in a short questionnaire to understand your unique challenges and expectations. We’re reviewing applications on a weekly basis, so expect an answer from us within 5 working days. Once accepted, we will send you a link to pay for your membership so that you can get access to our Slack workspace and other resources and we can begin the onboarding process.

What’s the time commitment?

It’s absolutely up to you how much time you’ll spend in the community. Nothing is mandatory. However, you get out what you put in: often, the biggest contributors are the biggest beneficiaries.

Depending on your schedule and interest you could:

Join our AMA sessions, networking events
Contribute in Slack (and ask for advice in return)
