Own events. Hosted, speaking, sponsored. Strategy, budget, production, results.
Set the calendar. Decide which events we run, which we speak at, and which we skip.

Run the speaking program. Pick the stages. Prepare the speakers.
Manage sponsorships. Negotiate terms, design our footprint, and account for the spend.

What they're looking for
- Be Perplexity. Our events should look and feel like our product. Work with Brand and Creative on every one.
- Lead the team. Equal parts IC and manager.
- Build the system. Playbooks, event tiers, intake, vendors, agencies, budgets.
