Marketing & Events Lead

About the role

We're looking for a Marketing & Events Lead who owns our events presence and the marketing engine around it end-to-end. This role blends running memorable events with the storytelling and community work that turns them into pipeline. One week you're locking a venue and sponsors for a hackathon, the next you're shipping the newsletter, then writing up a customer success story that shows what teams build on Manufact.

Requirements

• Experience planning and running events, meetups, or community programs end-to-end.
• Strong organizational skills. You can own multiple workstreams in parallel without being managed.
• Exceptional writing. You can turn a technical product and a customer win into a clear, compelling story.
• Comfortable enough with technical products (dev tools, AI infra) to explain them simply and accurately.
• Startup speed. You work fast with little process.
• Based in or willing to relocate to San Francisco.
• You've used the mcp-use SDK / tried Manufact before applying.

Nice to have

• A network within the AI, MCP, or developer-tools communities.
• A track record growing social accounts, newsletters, or company brand.
• Experience marketing dev tools or technical platforms.
• Experience negotiating and contracting event sponsorships.
• Familiarity with analytics and growth tactics for content and events.
