Why this role existsOur buyers rarely visit booths and they ignore webinars. They're engineering leaders and the AI platform leads who own how coding agents get deployed - a responsibility that barely existed two years ago. There's no playbook for this new world, and time spent with peers could not be more valuable.
In this role you'll:- Build and run the small-format program: dinners, roundtables, and workshops a year for engineering leaders and AI platform leads
- Launch our first invite-only summit for AI platform leads
- Select, manage, and execute our conference strategy
- Run customer council meetings and the dinners that turn a happy customer into a public reference
- Own the plan and the budget, not only the execution: which cities, which formats, which shows we skip, and one view of what every event cost, who came, and what happened next
- Own the follow-up process and the 30-day outcome - though not the outreach itself.
What we're looking for:- A minimum of five years running B2B events, at least two of them largely on your own. You've been the whole function, not one person on a team of ten
- Small-format executive events as your core skill - you can name the dinners you ran, how you filled the seats, and what came of them
- A technical audience: dev tools, infrastructure, data or security. Engineers detect marketing instantly and quietly stop coming, and you know where that line sits
- Budget ownership and vendor negotiation on a six-figure program
- You work in the CRM yourself. You build the list, the follow-up and the reporting rather than filing a ticket for them
- Comfortable traveling about 25% of the time
This role is not:- Field marketing. No territory alignment and no AE-by-AE support
- Booth logistics. Crates and badge scanners are a small slice of the year, and we outsource what we can
- Demand generation. Paid, email and the website belong to someone else
