About the role
- Executive programs come first: summits, customer working sessions, and private dinners with senior operators.
- That is where our deals actually move, and it is where most of your attention should go.
- It is deciding what an event is for, what has to be true for it to work, and then making that happen.
Responsibilities
- Executive programs. Design and run the summits, working sessions, and private dinners that put senior operators in a room with us. Set the objective, build the format around it, and own who gets invited.
- Partner and ecosystem events. Work the NVIDIA, Google, and Microsoft circuit, and build the joint events that come out of those relationships.
- Run the show. Own the run-of-show and be the person making calls on site when the AV fails, a speaker cancels, or forty more people arrive than registered.
- Budget. Own it end to end. Negotiate with venues and vendors, track spend, and be able to defend cost per qualified conversation.
- Follow-up and reporting. Build the pre-event outreach and the post-event sequence, get the data into HubSpot cleanly, and report what each event actually produced.
Requirements
- 6+ years running B2B events, with real weight on hosted executive programs rather than only trade show logistics.
- Experience directing someone else's work.
- You can set a standard and hold it without doing the task yourself.
- Comfort with executives.
- You can tell a founder their talk is running long, and direct a room of senior operators without being pushy about it.
Compensation
- $110,000 - $135,000, commensurate with experience
- Own the calendar. Build the annual plan across hosted events, trade shows, partner events, and internal gatherings. Decide what we do, what we skip, and what we kill after it underperforms.
- You've owned a program, not just events. You've held an annual calendar and a budget, made the call to kill something, and defended it.
Benefits
- Medical, Dental, Vision, 401K, Well-being stipend, In-office lunch reimbursement, PTO and 10 US Federal Holidays, and more!
Company info
- We serve some of the largest operators in our industries, including SRS Distribution (part of The Home Depot family), United Rentals, and Henry Schein, and we work closely with the Google DeepMind and NVIDIA ecosystems.
- How We Work We work in small teams with real ownership: clear problems, direct access to the customers whose work you're changing, and room to ship.
- Everything runs on three principles: Customers, Culture, and Code.
- Industry trade shows in distribution and construction come next, then the partner and ecosystem circuit with NVIDIA, Google, and Microsoft, then the internal events that keep a fast-growing team across four offices feeling like one company.
- The product works, customers are live, and we've already driven over $200M in incremental revenue for customers.
