Learn, connect and get support from other remote-first founders & executives
Running Remote Community is a membership for experienced remote-first leaders building & scaling their companies while getting the support they need, when they need it.
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.
