Director of Events

What You'll Own

• The program and calendar. Own the events strategy end-to-end — conferences, trade shows, field events, executive dinners, partner activations, and virtual webinars — with a clear point of view on what actually drives awareness, pipeline, and retention. You decide what we do and (just as importantly) what we don't.
• Operations and budget. Own the budget, the plan, the vendors, the logistics, the promotion, and the staffing. You’ll direct a roster of contractors and agencies.
• Flawless execution. Bring every event to life under pressure without letting quality slip. The day-of is the easy part for you because the hundreds of details before it were already handled.
• The customer experience. Own every touchpoint from first invite to post-event follow-up. Each one should feel intentional, premium, and hospitable — hospitality is the center of how you think.
• Systems that compound. Build the operational infrastructure from scratch: playbooks, timelines, vendor rosters, run-of-show templates, and post-event reviews that make every future event easier and better.
• Cross-functional ownership. Partner with sales, demand gen, marketing, and leadership so every event drives a real business outcome. You're the clear owner who keeps everyone aligned and informed.
• Measurement. Define success metrics before every event, track ROI and engagement, and feed insights into the next one systematically. Treat events-generated pipeline as your scoreboard, and bring an "OTIF" (on-time, in-full) discipline to delivery.

What You'll Bring

• 5+ years in event management, including owning a full events function.
• B2B field marketing or SaaS experience where events tie directly to pipeline and revenue.
• Elite project management and communication — you thrive under pressure, love a tight timeline, and work cleanly with sales, execs, vendors, and partners without hand-holding.
• Ability to direct contractors and agencies as a force multiplier — you scale yourself through others.
• A portfolio of events you designed that people still talk about — proof of both creative ambition and operational precision.
• A results mindset: you define what success looks like, measure what matters, and turn events into pipeline.
• Exceptional attention to detail with hospitality at the center of your thinking — you sweat the small stuff and design the whole experience.
• Willingness to travel for key events (~30%, depending on calendar).
