Community Manager - Heroes of Data

About Validio
Validio is a Deep Data Observability company on a mission to eliminate bad data. Our platform monitors and validates data in motion and data at rest across organizations’ data pipelines. From startups to multi-billion dollar unicorns, Validio is used by data leaders of all sizes.
We believe that you shouldn’t have to be an AirBnB, Uber, or Netflix in order to have advanced ML-based data quality technology in place. We also believe that modern data teams and data engineers get better return on investment by spending their time on other business-critical tasks rather than building and maintaining their own data quality infrastructure.
Here, you will work with a senior team of data- and engineering professionals with backgrounds from renowned research institutions, leading startups, and established tech companies including Stanford, McKinsey, Google, and Harvard. Named as one of the hottest start-ups in Stockholm by publications such as Wired, Validio is gearing up for expansion, and now you can be part of our journey!


About Heroes of Data
Heroes of Data (HoD) is Stockholm’s fastest growing tech community with data professionals joining from all of Sweden’s data scene; both small startups and large enterprises.
Validio founded HoD in 2022 with the aim of creating a global community for data professionals as complement to the plethora of AI/data science communities already in place. The mission is to enable peer-to-peer networking, career opportunities, sharing of best practices, and to act as an enabler of a more data-driven society. A core fundament of HoD are its meetups, executed together with companies that have their own data teams. Previous host companies include Budbee, Voi, and Truecaller. Now, the community is hungry to go global and virtual, and for that to happen we’re looking for a key player that can set and lead the way.
HoD is looking to do this expansion in a way that continues to honor the core values that the community so far has been built upon:
Authenticity—no commercial agenda or buzzwords without meaning
Inclusivity—no question is too small, we work actively with representation of genders and other minorities
Professionalism—we treat each other with respect, and behave in an office-appropriate manner both in person and online
Fun—data is fun, and so is Heroes of Data!
