About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Own field marketing end to end. Build the strategy, calendar, and budget for all in-person programs — then execute them hands-on. You are both the architect and the operator.
Run our corporate and first-party events. Plan and produce dinners, workshops, meetups, roadshows, and hosted experiences that put LlamaIndex in front of the right technical and enterprise audiences.
Manage third-party events and sponsorships. Evaluate which conferences and industry events are worth our presence, negotiate sponsorships, and make sure we stand out when we're there.
Build ecosystem partnerships. Develop co-marketing relationships with other vendors in the AI ecosystem — joint events, shared audiences, and partner activations that multiply our reach.
Create memorable experiences. Every touchpoint should be something attendees talk about afterward. You obsess over the details that make an event feel different.
Drive pipeline through targeted in-person experiences. Partner closely with sales to pick the right audiences, get the right people in the room, and convert conversations into qualified opportunities.
Measure and report on effectiveness. Own the metrics for every field program — registrations, attendance, pipeline sourced and influenced, and cost per opportunity — and use them to double down on what works.
Lay the foundation for community. As our founding field and community hire, you'll shape how we engage our developer and customer community in person over the long term.

Requirements

What you’ll need

1–3+ years of field marketing, event marketing, or community experience in the AI/ML space (or adjacent developer/enterprise infrastructure) — but we're flexible at all levels for exceptional candidates.
A track record of managing corporate events, first-party events, and third-party sponsorships from concept through post-event follow-up.
Experience building ecosystem or co-marketing partnerships with other vendors.
A pipeline mindset. You treat events as a revenue channel, not a checkbox, and you can speak to the numbers behind programs you've run.
Equal comfort with strategy and execution. You can present a quarterly field plan to leadership in the morning and haul swag boxes to a venue in the afternoon.
Exceptional organization and project management under tight timelines and shifting priorities.
