Job Summary

Own the events, community, and content engine for Lightdash, turning conferences, meetups, and social content into measurable brand and community momentum.

  • Events ownership: manage the annual calendar, venue, speakers, and on-site presence.
  • Community builder: nurture Slack/LinkedIn relationships and convert lurkers into advocates.
  • Content engine lead: translate events, launches, and customer conversations into blog posts and social output.

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • 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.

Requirements

  • 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

Preferred

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

Benefits

  • Competitive salary
  • Real ownership from day one
  • Broad exposure across marketing: events, content, community, partnerships, campaigns
  • Direct mentorship from an experienced team, with full visibility into how a fast-growing startup approaches marketing
