Responsibilities

• Own field marketing end to end. Build the strategy, calendar, and budget for all in-person programs — then execute them hands-on. You are both the architect and the operator.
• Run our corporate and first-party events. Plan and produce dinners, workshops, meetups, roadshows, and hosted experiences that put LlamaIndex in front of the right technical and enterprise audiences.
• Manage third-party events and sponsorships. Evaluate which conferences and industry events are worth our presence, negotiate sponsorships, and make sure we stand out when we're there.
• Build ecosystem partnerships. Develop co-marketing relationships with other vendors in the AI ecosystem — joint events, shared audiences, and partner activations that multiply our reach.
• Create memorable experiences. Every touchpoint should be something attendees talk about afterward. You obsess over the details that make an event feel different.
• Drive pipeline through targeted in-person experiences. Partner closely with sales to pick the right audiences, get the right people in the room, and convert conversations into qualified opportunities.
• Measure and report on effectiveness. Own the metrics for every field program — registrations, attendance, pipeline sourced and influenced, and cost per opportunity — and use them to double down on what works.
• Lay the foundation for community. As our founding field and community hire, you'll shape how we engage our developer and customer community in person over the long term.

Requirements

• 1–3+ years of field marketing, event marketing, or community experience in the AI/ML space (or adjacent developer/enterprise infrastructure) — but we're flexible at all levels for exceptional candidates.
• A track record of managing corporate events, first-party events, and third-party sponsorships from concept through post-event follow-up.
• Experience building ecosystem or co-marketing partnerships with other vendors.
• A pipeline mindset. You treat events as a revenue channel, not a checkbox, and you can speak to the numbers behind programs you've run.
• Equal comfort with strategy and execution. You can present a quarterly field plan to leadership in the morning and haul swag boxes to a venue in the afternoon.
• Exceptional organization and project management under tight timelines and shifting priorities.
• Based in or willing to be in the San Francisco Bay Area for a hybrid schedule, with willingness to travel for events.

Preferred

• Existing relationships in the AI/developer-tools ecosystem (vendors, communities, event organizers).
• Experience as a first or early marketing hire, building programs from zero.
• Experience marketing to both developers and enterprise buyers.
• Familiarity with event and marketing tools (CRM, marketing automation, event platforms).
