About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Own end-to-end planning and execution for Nectar's event calendar: customer dinners, executive roundtables, happy hours, webinars, and conference sponsorships/booths.
Manage budgets, vendors, venues, and logistics, and build repeatable processes so events scale smoothly as the company grows.
Partner with sales and customer success to build event strategies that generate pipeline and deepen relationships with existing customers.
Track and report on event ROI — attendance, pipeline influence, and customer sentiment — and use that data to sharpen the calendar over time.
Represent Nectar at industry conferences and manage on-site logistics, staffing, and sponsor deliverables.
Design and launch Nectar's first customer/industry community program (e.g., a Slack or Discord community, ambassador program, or customer council).
Create a content and engagement cadence that keeps the community active: AMAs, office hours, member spotlights, and peer-to-peer discussion.
Serve as the primary point of contact for community members, building authentic relationships with key customers and industry voices.
Identify and cultivate community advocates who can support case studies, referrals, and word-of-mouth growth.
Feed community insights and feedback back to product, marketing, and customer success teams.

Requirements

What you’ll need

3–6 years of experience in event marketing, community management, or a hybrid of both, ideally at a B2B SaaS or martech company.
A track record of planning and executing events end-to-end, from concept through post-event reporting.
Experience building or growing an online or in-person community from scratch.
Comfort operating with high autonomy in an early-stage environment where processes don't yet exist — you're excited to build them.
Strong project management skills and an ability to juggle multiple events and workstreams at once without dropping details.
Excellent written and verbal communication, with a genuine interest in connecting with people.
Willingness to travel for events and conferences (estimated 20–30%).
