Rec provides recreation management tools used by Parks and Recreation departments and community organizations to manage programs, facilities, and activities. Backed by NFX.
About the role
Events are at the center of how Rec goes to market, and this industry puts on an incredible number of them. NRPA moves to a different American city every fall, nearly every state runs its own conference, there are regional workshops all year, and then there’s Rec Forward, our own event series that we run city by city. The people who buy our technology see each other in these halls year after year, which means reputation here travels by word of mouth long before it travels by advertising. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- 2 to 5 years in field marketing, event marketing, or a BDR/AE seat where you spent real time working booths. We care more about what you’ve personally executed than the size of the program you sat next to
- You can learn a product deeply and you want to, because you’ll be demoing Rec to people who run recreation departments for a living and shallow will show. If your instinct is “I’d need to loop in a solutions engineer,” this will be uncomfortable
- You’re comfortable opening a conversation with a prospect and qualifying them without it feeling like an interrogation
- You know the difference between a busy show day and a good one, and you can explain what you changed the second time you worked the same conference
- You’ve been measured on pipeline or meetings rather than attendance and lead counts, and you prefer it that way
- You work well unsupervised. In season you’ll be on the road most weeks, deciding for yourself how to spend a Tuesday afternoon on a slow floor

Think about the last time you tried to book a tennis court. Or sign your kid up for a swim lesson. Or find an open rec league that actually fits your schedule. You probably ended up on a website that looked like it was built in 2003, or even worse, filled out a piece of paper.
$3T is spent on recreation globally, and it’s built on a completely fragmented system that’s largely untouched by technology.
At Rec ( recreation.ai ), we’re using AI to change that: reimagining how the world plays, participates in community, and gets active. Our vision is simple: more recreation for everyone. We sit at a rare intersection, a consumer product loved by everyday players and an enterprise platform trusted by the organizations that power recreation.
We’re a small team with firepower. Our founders were among the first few hundred at Uber, then led teams at The Athletic and MasterClass. The rest of the team combines builders from Google, Microsoft, Strava, Hipcamp, and Airbnb.
People join Rec for two reasons: you want to build AI that gets people back in the real world, and you want to work with really smart people.
