Responsibilities

• Build and own an annual events strategy with clear rationale for where we invest and what we expect back
• Launch and scale hosted formats such as founder dinners, customer roundtables, and workshop series that generate real pipeline and real relationships
• Own every Pylon conference presence end to end: contracting, booth, logistics, on-site experience, follow-up
• Develop the outreach and targeting process (with Sales) that puts the right people in the room - not just a full room
• Create community programming that extends the value of events beyond the event itself
• Create repeatable playbooks so this program scales

Requirements

The best version of this role doesn't feel like marketing to the people in the room. It feels like a community they want to be part of. What success looks like: In your first year, you will:

• Build and own an annual events strategy with clear rationale for where we invest and what we expect back
• Launch and scale hosted formats - founder dinners, customer roundtables, workshop series - that generate real pipeline and real relationships

• Create community programming that extends the value of events beyond the event itself

Qualifications

• Ability to run events that feel like communities, not sales traps
• Strategic thinking about why an event belongs in the plan - not just how to run it
• Good copywriting skills to craft an invite that gets opened, a follow-up that gets replied to, and a program agenda that signals to the right people that this is worth their time
• Experience working closely with Sales to ensure the right people show up and the conversation continues afterward
• Resourcefulness and creativity in running great events without infinite budgets and testing new formats

Skills

• Strong strategic and tactical planning skills
• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills
• Ability to work collaboratively with cross-functional teams
• Experience with Salesforce, Clay, Sequel, or similar tools is a plus but not required
