Event Marketing Manager

We’re looking for a hands-on Event Marketing Manager to co-own the planning, production, and marketing of AI Dev and other AI developer events. AI Dev is rapidly emerging as one of the most popular AI developer conferences, having sold out with thousands of attendees in SF & NY in its inaugural year. Help shape the future alongside Andrew Ng and other leading voices as we bring the AI community together to showcase the latest innovations, share knowledge and network in person! This is not a “checklist” role. You will own events end-to-end — from concept to execution to post-event wrap — including budget, timeline, speakers, sponsors, and marketing performance. You’ll work closely with both the internal team and external vendors to ensure flawless on-site execution, while also driving the marketing strategy and calendar that fills the room with the right audience. If you love both running events and marketing them, and you’re comfortable operating with a lot of ownership in a fast-moving environment, this role is for you. We prefer candidates based in the San Francisco Bay Area, with the ability to work from our Mountain View, CA office and attend in-person meetings and events as needed. However, exceptional candidates located outside the Bay Area are still encouraged to apply — we are open to remote arrangements for the right person, with travel required for key planning moments and on-site event execution. What You'll Own Event Ownership & Production

Co-own end-to-end execution of AI Dev and other events (1–3K+ attendees), from early planning through post-event recap
