About this role
turbopuffer is looking for someone to help us show up in the real world. You'll own our strategy and presence at conferences, dinners, meetups, booths, & after parties. Your job is to make memorable events for those that puff today and those that will puff soon.
what you'll do:
- plan our calendar far in advance. pick the events worth showing up to and kill the ones that aren't
- run the event logistics end-to-end: budget, booth, meeting rooms, swag, staffing, follow-up
- plan and host meetups/dinners; handle logistics for both external and internal puffers
- build a set of quantitative and qualitative goals for our events
- work with designers on booths, swag, and other items
- collaborate closely with our existing close-knit growth team https://turbopuffer.com/about
must have:
- operator – you can run a 16-person dinner and a 512-person happy hour with the same precision
- numerate – share quantifiable results from our events
- taste – you have strong opinions about brand, copy, and partners
- scrappy – you'd rather book the venue today than wait for the perfect plan
- networked – you know the venues & vendors that make for the best events
- independent – you figure things out without waiting to be told
nice to have:
- you've sold to engineers before and know why most engineers hate marketing tactics
- you've thrown a party people still talk about
tpuf is hardcore & whimsical. we value:
- overstep > understep
- show > tell
- complexity is earned
- showing up as part of our customer’s team
- making stuff easy to react to
