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
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
note: this is a remote role but with significant travel expectations (~50% of time spent on the road if outside of NY/SF)
