Responsibilities

• Build and own Build's events calendar and strategy from scratch.
• Own Build's presence at major AI and robotics conferences, including sponsorships, attendance, activations, and related events.
• Create and execute standalone events for customers, prospects, candidates, and the AI and robotics community -- including events ranging from executive dinners and small gatherings to recruiting events, conferences, launches, and larger experiences.
• Identify which conferences and events Build should invest in based on customer, recruiting, and brand impact.
• Develop creative concepts that make Build memorable and differentiated rather than simply showing up with a booth.
• Own events end-to-end: concept, venue, vendors, contracts, budgets, guest lists, invitations, logistics, onsite execution, and follow-up.
• Measure what works and turn successful experiments into repeatable programs.
• Build the systems and operating processes required to scale the function as Build grows.

Requirements

• Have 2+ years of experience in events, field marketing, experiential marketing, or a related role.
• Have personally owned conferences, sponsored events, dinners, or other in-person experiences from concept through execution.
• Are exceptionally organized and detail oriented. You can run several complex projects simultaneously without dropping things.
• Have high agency. When something needs to happen, your instinct is to figure out how to make it happen rather than wait for instructions.
• Are creative and have strong taste. You care about creating experiences people actually remember.
• Are scrappy. You're equally comfortable negotiating a major sponsorship and fixing a last-minute problem yourself five minutes before an event starts.
• Exercise excellent judgment and can represent Build confidently with customers, researchers, candidates, executives, and partners.
• Thrive in ambiguity and like building things from zero rather than inheriting established processes.
• Are willing to travel regularly for conferences and events.

Preferred

• You've worked at a fast-growing startup and know what it means to operate without much infrastructure.
• You have experience in AI, technology, robotics, or another technical industry.
• You've built an events or field marketing program rather than only executing an existing playbook.
• You've found unconventional ways to create memorable events without simply spending more money.
