What you'll do
Giga Energy builds AI factories, fast. Our in-person programs are one of our highest-ROI pipeline channels, and we're just getting started scaling them.
We're looking for an Events Manager to own and expand our in-person presence as both the infrastructure and data center sales teams grow. You'll report directly to our Senior Events Manager to build the event engine that puts Giga in front of the hyperscaler, neocloud, and data center decision-makers who matter most.
This role is logistics-forward with strong instincts for guest experience. You'll run the operational backbone of our events program, including managing roadshows, tradeshows, swag, gifting, and Tier 2 events, while helping us test and launch a monthly happy hour series in key prospect cities. You'll also be the connective tissue with current customers, making sure we're showing up for them as we land and expand.
Where you'll work
Location flexibility across Houston, Long Beach, or San Francisco — with a requirement to be within 30 minutes of our facilities to manage inventory and event supplies on-site.
Responsibilities
Roadshow Series (Lead)
- Own Giga's roadshow program end-to-end: venue selection, format, invites, on-site execution, and post-event follow-up
- Partner with sales to set the target city list, sequencing, and account coverage for each roadshow cycle
- Launch and scale a monthly happy hour series in key prospect cities, building a repeatable format we can run at increasing frequency
- Build playbooks so we can scale high-quality events without reinventing the wheel each time
Tradeshow Support
- Support Giga's presence at industry tradeshows: coordinating logistics, managing booth shipments, handling vendor relationships, and ensuring on-site execution runs smoothly
- Work closely with the marketing and sales leads who own tradeshow strategy to make sure the operational details are locked well in advance
- Own swag and collateral so the team can focus on conversations, not logistics
Customer Dinners & VIP Events
- Coordinate intimate customer dinners and Tier 1 VIP experiences that deepen relationships with current accounts
- Partner closely with account teams to ensure the right guests, right setting, and right follow-through
Swag & Gifting Program
- Own Giga's swag inventory: sourcing, ordering, receiving, and managing stock at one of our facilities
- Run a structured gifting program for key prospects and customers tied to deal milestones, events, and seasonal moments
- Keep gifting thoughtful, on-brand, and operationally tight
Requirements
- 3–6 years of experience in event management, field marketing, or community programs, ideally in B2B tech, infrastructure, or enterprise SaaS
- Proven ability to own complex event logistics end-to-end without dropping details
- Strong vendor management and negotiation skills - you know how to get the best setup at the best price
- Excellent interpersonal skills; you're the person who makes every event feel effortless for attendees
- Highly organized and systems-oriented - you build trackers, write playbooks, and keep stakeholders informed without being asked
- Comfortable operating in a fast-moving environment where priorities shift and resourcefulness is a daily requirement
- Based in Houston, Long Beach, or San Francisco
- Willingness to travel up to 30% for events and roadshows
Bonus points
- Experience marketing to or working alongside hyperscalers, neoclouds, or large data center operators
- Familiarity with HubSpot or similar CRM for tracking event-sourced pipeline
- Experience building an events function from a lean foundation — you've scaled something, not just maintained it
- An eye for brand — you notice when things don't look right and you fix them
Benefits
- Subsidized health, dental, and vision insurance
- Equity (options) in a rapidly growing startup
- 401(k) with 4% employer match
- Unlimited PTO
- Parental leave
- Healthcare and Dependent Care Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA)
- Commuter benefits
