Why this role is special
B2B customer support is undergoing a seismic shift. AI is transforming the way companies engage with customers, shifting support from a siloed function to a company-wide effort across Slack, Discord, and in-product experiences. Plain is leading the charge in building this new world, but redefining a category takes credibility and trust, not just features; and that’s where you come in.
We’re hiring a founding Events & Field Marketing Specialist to help us curate in-person and digital events that turn strangers into advocates and customers. You will build experiences that establishes Plain as the obvious choice for forward-thinking teams.

- Manage event logistics from venue selection and vendor coordination to on-site execution and post-event wrap-up.
