Events Marketing Manager

This role executes Artificial Intelligence company events—from webinars and product launches to customer conferences and sponsored activations—with focus on demonstrating complex AI capabilities to technical and business audiences. Managers in this position own the full lifecycle from strategy and speaker recruitment through live production and ROI measurement, often serving as both organizer and on-stage presenter to bring AI products to life. What distinguishes this work is the deep product knowledge required; these managers must understand their AI systems cold enough to translate sophisticated technical features into compelling narratives that drive qualified pipeline and customer activation. This role typically sits within marketing teams at scaling AI companies, collaborating closely with Product, Sales, Engineering, and Customer Success to turn events into repeatable demand-generation engines.
