Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Own end-to-end planning and execution of the two major external events each year plus selected smaller activations: objectives, booth and experience, vendors, contracts, shipping, budget, run-of-show, staffing, contingency, onsite execution, and post-event follow-through.
  • Build and run the cross-functional pre-event plan: audience development, meeting generation, social promotion, supporting content, and a plan to capture material onsite.
  • Lead the cross-functional working team per event, aligning Engineering, GTM, executives, and Design.
  • Own event materials and readiness (signage, collateral, merchandise, equipment inventory) plus backups for demo, vendor, shipping, and logistical failures.
  • Own the experience for high-value customer, partner, and investor visits at HQ: shape the arc, coordinate demonstrations and presenters, and land a cohesive story (the experience itself, not general office or visitor coordination).
  • Manage event budgets and vendors, and track what each event cost against what it produced.
  • Support day-to-day content and social across LinkedIn, X, and YouTube under the Director's direction: asset generation and scheduling, post scheduling, and some creative.
  • Ideate recurring formats (customer stories and case studies, launch copy, event recaps, and technical explainers that make what we build legible to non-builders) and draft for executives from their thinking (LinkedIn posts, talk abstracts, keynote and customer-briefing talking points).
  • Follow through with Design: clear, specific, on-time requests with the copy already written, so their work is production rather than rescue.
  • Measure and act: report event-sourced and event-influenced pipeline, meetings generated, follow-up conversion, social engagement, audience growth, and content consumption; keep event and campaign data clean in the CRM; and recommend what to repeat, change, or stop.

Requirements

  • Four to eight years in B2B marketing, communications, events, or content. We care more about what you have actually run than the exact shape of the job.
  • Writing and ideation at the core. Send us work you wrote; we will read and watch it closely. Range matters more than polish on any one piece.
  • Evidence you have run real events end to end: a budget you owned, vendors you managed, multiple stakeholders, and a date that could not move.
  • Detail-oriented with excellent project-management skills; keeps a complex program moving across teams and follows through without being reminded.
  • Comfort being onsite: factory floor, customer facility, booth.
  • Fluency with AI tools as part of how you actually work.
  • Highly motivated teammate with excellent oral and written communication skills.
  • Enjoy working in a fast paced, collaborative and dynamic start-up environment as part of a small team.
  • Willing to occasionally travel.
  • Must have and maintain US work authorization.

Preferred

  • Exposure to robotics, hardware, manufacturing, logistics, or another industry where the buyer has to trust a physical machine.
  • Hands-on ability to capture usable footage and photos at an event and trim a short clip.
  • Experience supporting executive communications at a company small enough that you had to figure it out yourself.
  • Experience hosting senior customers, partners, or investors and adapting the experience for different audiences.
  • Working knowledge of a CRM or marketing-automation platform (HubSpot ideal).

Benefits

  • medical/dental/vision plans
  • 401(k) plan
  • unlimited paid vacation time
  • paid sick leave
  • parenteral leave
