About Amber

n

Amber is a long-term accommodation booking platform built for students. We help over 80 million students worldwide find and book full-time accommodation near their universities—without the hassle of negotiation, non-standardized paperwork, or fragmented payment processes.

n

Today, Amber is the leading global student housing platform, with 1M+ student housing units listed across 10 countries and 80+ cities. We're growing rapidly and are on track to achieve $1B in annual gross bookings. Backed by $18.5M in funding from marquee investors like Gaja Capital, we're building the future of student living.

n

If you're passionate about making international mobility and student living seamless and accessible, we'd love to have you join us.

The role

n

We're building a global, on-ground community and ambassador network — students and local creators who represent Amber in their cities, create authentic content, and help fellow students settle into a new country. The mandate to design, build and lead that network end-to-end, from strategy through to operations, across three continents.

n

You'll own the program globally from our Pune HQ, working across time zones to establish real on-ground presence in our key student markets. It's part strategist, part operator, part team-builder — you'll set the vision and make it run.

n

n

What you'll own

n

● Strategy & vision — design the global community and ambassador program from the ground up: structure, tiers, regional coverage, and how it ladders into brand growth and bookings.

n

● Build the network — recruit, onboard and scale a large global ambassador base across the UK, Australia and US, with local leadership in priority cities. Ensure no region is under-served.

n





● Offline & experiential activations — design and run on-ground activations, local partnerships and events that build brand presence where students actually live and gather.

n

● Content engine — turn the network into a consistent, high-quality stream of social and property content across platforms, with the systems to track coverage and output.

n

● Team leadership — hire and lead a distributed network of city leads and ambassadors

n

● Economics & measurement — own the program budget, build the cost model, and prove return against clear performance metrics

n

● Systems & ops — stand up the CRM, onboarding, payments and attribution infrastructure needed to run a network of this scale reliably.

n

n

What you'll bring

n

● 8+ years in community, field or brand marketing, with demonstrable experience building and scaling an ambassador, community or field-marketing network — ideally across multiple countries.

n

● Hands-on experience with offline / experiential activations and local partnerships, not just digital programs.

n

● A track record of building and leading distributed teams, including managing people across regions and time zones.

n

● Robust commercial instinct — comfortable owning a budget and defending the program on hard metrics, not vanity numbers.

n

● Operator's mindset: you've built programs from scratch, set up the systems, and run them — not just overseen them.

n

● Fluency in how students and young audiences discover, trust and engage with brands across social platforms.

n

n

Nice to have

n

● Experience in student housing, edtech, travel, or a youth/student-facing consumer brand.

n

● Exposure to international student audiences (India, SEA, China) and Western markets.

n

● Familiarity with creator/influencer ecosystems and content operations at scale
