Job Description

Responsibilities\n

Events. Lightdash's events presence is growing fast. You'll own our events calendar: deciding which conferences we attend, whether we go with a booth, a talk, a side event, or something we throw ourselves. You'll manage logistics end-to-end: venues, vendors, assets, speaker coordination, registrations, and being on the ground when it matters. We run our own meetup series and you'll help grow that too.
Community. We have a real community of data practitioners on Slack, on LinkedIn, at events, in the dbt ecosystem. You'll help us nurture it: keeping it active, finding ways to give back, and turning lurkers into advocates. You'll spot the people worth knowing and help us build genuine relationships with them.
Content. Turning what happens in the world (events, product launches, conversations with customers, things we're thinking about) into blog posts, write-ups, and social content. You'll also own production across our marketing calendar and help keep the content engine running.
Other stuff. This is a startup. So, you'll occasionally help out with content, social, or campaigns.

\nRequirements\n

1+ years of experience running events or community programmes, in-house or agency. B2B tech is a bonus
You're a strong communicator, written and in-person. You can write a compelling outreach email and hold a room at a meetup
You're organised in the way that matters: deadlines don't slip, vendors get chased, and nothing falls through the cracks
You use AI tools as a genuine part of how you work. Not just for writing, but for moving faster and doing more with less
You're proactive: you spot what needs doing and do it
You're excited about learning the full spectrum of marketing, not just one corner of it

\nPreferred\n

You're familiar with tools like Attio, Google Analytics, Figma, and Framer
You have existing relationships in the data/analytics/dbt community
