Event Coordinator

We’re hiring an Events Manager to build and own the events function for a fast-growing Series A company selling into large, established insurance companies. This is not a "just coordinate the logistics" events role. Events are already one of the company’s most proven growth channels, and this person will be responsible for turning them into a thoughtful, repeatable, high-impact program. The ideal candidate thinks in programs, not one-off events . You should have a strong point of view on what makes an event memorable versus forgettable, care deeply about the people in the room, and know how to create experiences that feel intentional, polished, and personal. The audience is senior enterprise buyers who are busy, skeptical, and used to the same standard B2B event playbooks. This role requires someone who can bring genuine hospitality instincts, creative format thinking, and flawless execution to every touchpoint before, during, and after an event. Work Type: Full-time, in-person 5 days/week Compensation: $100,000-$130,000 + equity Experience: 1-2+ years Responsibilities Own the full events motion from strategy through execution, including sponsored events, owned roundtables, hosted dinners, and industry conferences. Develop the annual and quarterly events strategy, including which events to invest in, why they matter, and what success looks like for each. Build owned event formats from scratch that feel thoughtful, differentiated, and aligned with a challenger brand in a traditional enterprise category. Create high-quality experiences for senior buyers by tailoring venues, formats, guest lists, communications, and small personal touches to the people being hosted. Manage event budgets, vendors, timelines, logistics, and contingency plans end-to-end. Run on-site execution with calm, polished attention to detail so attendees never feel the complexity behind the scenes. Partner closely with sales and leadership to make sure every event moves the right people closer to meaningful conversations. Build repeatable playbooks so the events program can scale as the company grows. Support pre-event and post-event amplification across channels like LinkedIn and other relevant touchpoints. Qualifications 1-2+ years of experience in event marketing, hospitality, restaurants, hotels, or a closely related field. Experience owning an event, program, dinner, roundtable, or hospitality experience from planning through execution. Able to clearly explain the strategy behind an event, not just the logistics. A strong and specific point of view on what makes an event memorable, thoughtful, and worth attending. Hospitality-first instincts, with genuine curiosity and empathy for the people being hosted. Highly organized, detail-oriented, and calm under pressure. Comfortable managing vendors, budgets, timelines, guest experience, and backup plans. Creative thinker who does not default to the same standard B2B event playbook. Strong fit for someone who has built or hosted dinners, roundtables, private gatherings, or high-touch buyer experiences from scratch. Excited to work in person in San Francisco 5 days/week, 9 AM-6 PM. Nice to have: experience with enterprise buyers, insurance, fintech, traditional industries, or pre/post-event marketing amplification. High-ownership role building the events function from scratch. Opportunity to shape one of the company’s most important growth channels. Direct impact on how the company builds trust with senior enterprise buyers. Early-stage environment with room to create the playbook, not just follow one. Work closely with leadership, sales, and customers in a highly visible role. #J-18808-Ljbffr Jack
