Overview

We’re hiring an Events Manager to build and own the events function for a fast-growing Series A company selling into large, established insurance companies. Events are already one of the company’s most proven growth channels, and this person will be responsible for turning them into a thoughtful, repeatable, high-impact program.

Responsibilities

  • Own the full events motion from strategy through execution, including sponsored events, owned roundtables, hosted dinners, and industry conferences.

  • Develop the annual and quarterly events strategy, including which events to invest in, why they matter, and what success looks like for each.

  • Create owned event formats from scratch that feel thoughtful, differentiated, and aligned with a challenger brand in a traditional enterprise category.

  • Create high-quality experiences for senior buyers by tailoring venues, formats, guest lists, communications, and small personal touches to the people being hosted.

  • Manage event budgets, vendors, timelines, logistics, and contingency plans end-to-end.

  • Run on-site execution with calm, polished attention to detail so attendees never feel the complexity behind the scenes.

  • Partner closely with sales and leadership to make sure every event moves the right people closer to meaningful conversations.

  • Build repeatable playbooks so the events program can scale as the company grows.

  • Support pre-event and post-event amplification across channels like LinkedIn and other relevant touchpoints.

Qualifications

  • 1–2+ years of experience in event marketing, hospitality, restaurants, hotels, or a closely related field.

  • Experience owning an event, program, dinner, roundtable, or hospitality experience from planning through execution.

  • Able to clearly explain the strategy behind an event, not just the logistics.

  • A strong and specific point of view on what makes an event memorable, thoughtful, and worth attending.

  • Hospitality-first instincts, with genuine curiosity and empathy for the people being hosted.

  • Highly organized, detail-oriented, and calm under pressure.

  • Comfortable managing vendors, budgets, timelines, guest experience, and backup plans.

  • Creative thinker who does not default to the same standard B2B event playbook.

  • Strong fit for someone who has built or hosted dinners, roundtables, private gatherings, or high-touch buyer experiences from scratch.

  • Excited to work in person in San Francisco 5 days/week, 9 AM–6 PM.

Nice to have

  • Experience with enterprise buyers, insurance, fintech, traditional industries, or pre/post-event marketing amplification.

Benefits

  • Competitive equity.

  • High-ownership role building the events function from scratch.

  • Opportunity to shape one of the company’s most important growth channels.

  • Direct impact on how the company builds trust with senior enterprise buyers.

  • Early-stage environment with room to create the playbook, not just follow one.

  • Work closely with leadership, sales, and customers in a highly visible role.
