About the role

You'll also be the person who makes sure every poolside team member traveling to an event is organized, briefed, and set up to make an impact.
You'll work across marketing, sales, product, developer relations, and leadership, and you'll be the connective tissue that turns a calendar of events into measurable awareness, demand, and model usage.
You'll be obsessed with how poolside shows up to the world-every booth, every dinner, every keynote moment-and with turning each one into mindshare, model usage, brand and pipeline.

You'll own the full lifecycle of poolside's events, which fall into three broad categories, each with its own goals:
Commercial - revenue-generating events designed to create and accelerate pipeline. You'll align audiences, invites, and follow-through with go-to-market & partnerships so each event drives measurable commercial impact.
Activation events - events built to grow mindshare, model usage, and token consumption. You'll design experiences that get developers to try, adopt, and build with poolside.
Own the money story. Track spend, reconcile invoices, and model ROI so the business knows exactly what's working and why. Your story shapes where we invest next.
Set the bar for partners. Build the relationships with agencies, production partners, sponsors, and vendors that make great events possible, and hold every one of them to the standard poolside is known for.
Take poolside global. As we scale our presence across regions, you'll be the one building programming that works anywhere in the world.
Make every event better than the last. Own the KPIs for reach, engagement, pipeline, and brand lift, then turn the data into insights that sharpen everything we do.
Based in the US, with the operational skill to lead complex, high-stakes events on the ground here like AWS re:Invent or NVIDIA GTC.

Their ability to stack advantages and pull ahead will determine who survives and wins.

Wellbeing, always-be-learning and home office allowances
you ideally know how to design experiences that resonate with technical audiences-engineers, CTOs, and product leaders - and you can partner with marketing and our field engineering team to support their vision.
Fully remote work & flexible hours

We are a remote-first team that sits across Europe and North America and comes together once a month in-person for 3 days and for longer offsites twice a year.
Our R&D and production teams are a combination of more research and more engineering-oriented profiles, however, everyone deeply cares about the quality of the systems we build and has a strong underlying knowledge of software development.
We believe that good engineering leads to faster development iterations, which allows us to compound our efforts.

Commercial awareness: you understand how events connect to pipeline, sponsorship value, model adoption, and ROI, and can report on it clearly.
