Full Job Description
The Role

We're seeking an experienced events leader with excellent taste to design and deliver executive-caliber experiences that reflect the sophistication of our brand and the seniority of our audience.

This is not a traditional trade show coordinator role and it's a brand-defining, pipeline-driving role responsible for transforming events into a strategic advantage. You will own Neara's executive summits, flagship conference presence, curated customer gatherings, and premium materials for any and all in-person gatherings, ensuring every detail signals category leadership and premium brand. Your mandate is to make our in-person and digital experiences unmistakably polished, thoughtfully curated, and commercially impactful.
  • Own Neara's most high-impact executive events and conference touchpoints end-to-end
  • Elevate our physical brand presence into the most sophisticated and conversation-worthy in our space
  • Drive flawless cross-functional coordination across Sales, Marketing, Product, and Leadership


What You Will Do:
  • Design and deliver curated executive summits, advisory gatherings, and private customer events with white-glove precision
  • Own Neara's end-to-end strategy and presence at global flagship conferences
  • Build a premium, cohesive conference marketing kit - booth, materials, swag, environment - that signals category leadership instantly
  • Build and maintain rigorous, clear, shared master project plans for every major event, with clear owners, timelines, dependencies, and risk mitigation
  • Act as the cross-functional command center - ensuring Sales, PMM, Comms, Execs, and vendors are aligned and on schedule
  • Orchestrate adjacent executive experiences (private dinners, invite-only briefings, curated offsites) that deepen strategic relationships
  • Shape event agendas in partnership with Marketing, Sales, and Leadership to ensure commercial and narrative alignment
  • Elevate webinars into polished digital experiences with tight run-of-show, speaker prep, and follow-through
  • Establish scalable global systems for event planning, vendor management, and budget control
  • Ensure post-event follow-up, reporting, and pipeline tracking are tightly coordinated with Sales


What We Are Offering You:
  • Equity ownership through a competitive Employee Stock Option Plan (ESOP)
  • Significant career development and growth opportunities
  • Highly meritocratic, non-bureaucratic, and low ego work culture
  • The opportunity to work on complex, meaningful products and real-world problems
  • The opportunity to play a direct, critical role in the trajectory of a high-growth company
