Head of Community and Events

The Role

You will be the architect of the community and event experience that makes Oneleet the most connected name in cybersecurity and compliance . From intimate customer dinners and executive roundtables to industry conferences and digital community spaces, you will build the programs that turn customers, prospects, and practitioners into a genuine Oneleet community.

This is a founding role. You will define the strategy, build the infrastructure, and create the moments that matter. You will work hand-in-hand with Sales, Marketing, and Customer Success teams to ensure every event and community touchpoint is purposeful, on-brand, and driving real relationships that translate into pipeline and retention.

You will thrive here if you believe that community is a growth strategy, not a feel-good initiative- and if you have the operational discipline to execute flawlessly while never losing sight of the human experience you are trying to create.

Measurement & Growth
