Own and scale events and programming operations while shaping Astera's external voice across websites and comms.

• Design and run events end-to-end, from symposia to Friday socials: venue, vendors, logistics, guest experience, and the details that separate a good event from a memorable one
• Build the operational infrastructure that lets programming scale: playbooks, vendor relationships, budgets, and tooling
• Partner with Division leadership in developing the events and moments that accelerate our programming
• Build the social fabric that turns a collection of researchers into a community, including the unstructured moments where good conversations happen
• Partner with leadership to shape Astera's external comms strategy (audiences, channels, content, etc) and own execution against it
• Steward Astera's voice across the website, written materials, and external touchpoints, in close collaboration with leadership
• Manage website, blog, and socials, including writing, editing, and coordinating updates as Astera's work evolves
• Run the calendar of external-facing moments and the production pipeline behind it
• Build and manage a roster of external contractors and consultants (writers, designers, PR, etc.) — knowing when to bring in specialists, scoping the work, and getting great output on Astera's timeline and budget
• Flex to the "unknown unknowns" of a young, growing organization — event logistics, hub operations, cross-functional support during peak periods, and special projects across the Operations stack.
