You will program manage and own execution of our events, focusing on supporting our go-to-market goals, delivering measurable results, and up-leveling our presence at conferences, community meetups, and hosted gatherings. This is a high-impact, hands-on role where you will directly contribute to our growth by driving pipeline, building brand awareness, and fostering relationships with the AI community.

What You’ll Do

• Strategize and Execute: Partner with Growth and Demand Generation to design and execute a winning event and field marketing strategy across conferences, community meetups, and hosted gatherings.
• Drive Pipeline: Collaborate with Sales and Marketing to develop and execute field campaigns that drive engagement and new opportunities. This includes managing targeted promotional strategies, developing social post copy, pre/post sales motions, and lead enrichment projects with external contractors.
• Manage Events End-to-End: Manage all aspects of event planning and execution, from speaker placements and booth design to coordinating with internal teams like Developer Relations and Product.
• Curate Experiences: Create and deliver high-touch experiences such as executive dinners, workshops, and technical roundtables to deepen engagement with key accounts.
• Oversee Operations: Oversee all event operations, including vendor relationships, logistics, and budget management. You’ll also be responsible for key tools like Zoom, Upwork, and Luma, and managing our swag inventory.

What We’re Looking For

• Events Experience: Experience leading or running field marketing or event programs, ideally in a B2B SaaS, developer-facing, or AI/ML-focused company.
• Organizational & Project Management: Exceptional organizational and project management skills. You are meticulous and sweat the details, from managing calendar holds with specific join links for panelists to ensuring accurate attendee tagging in Luma. You can deliver high-quality results under tight deadlines.
• Results-Oriented: A strong understanding of how to translate events into pipeline, with a track record of aligning programs to sales and marketing goals.
• Collaboration: Experience working cross-functionally with sales, demand generation, product marketing, and external vendors. You are energized by this collaborative environment and thrive in a fast-paced startup setting.
• Passion for the Community: A passion for AI, Agent Engineering, and developer communities, with the ability to connect authentically with technical audiences.
• Communication: Excellent written and verbal communication skills, able to engage confidently and clearly across all stakeholders, from engineers to executives.
• Vendor Management: You are excited to project manage external vendors, technical partners, and event contractors throughout the entire process, from planning to execution and follow-up.
• Scrappy & Versatile: Comfortable wearing multiple hats and jumping in where needed—whether that’s coordinating logistics, managing last-minute changes, or pitching in on creative tasks.

The estimated annual salary for this role is between $120,000 to $140,000, plus a competitive equity package. Actual compensation is determined based upon a variety of job related factors that may include: transferable work experience, skill sets, and qualifications. Total compensation also includes a comprehensive benefit package, including: medical, dental, vision, 401(k) plan, unlimited paid time off, generous parental leave plan, and others for mental and wellness support.

While we are a remote-first company, we have opened offices in New York City and the San Francisco Bay Area, as an option for those in those cities who wish to work in-person. For all other employees, there is a WFH monthly stipend to pay for co-working spaces.
