Job Details

About Glean

We’re on a mission to make knowledge work faster and more humane. We believe that AI will fundamentally transform how people work. In the future, everyone will work in tandem with expert AI assistants who find knowledge, create and synthesize information, and execute work. These assistants will free people up to focus on the higher-level, creative aspects of their work.

We’re building a system of intelligence for every company in the world. On the surface, you can think of it as Google + ChatGPT for the enterprise. Under the hood, our platform is the connective tissue between AI and knowledge. It brings all of a company’s knowledge together, understands it at a deep level, provides industry-leading search relevance over it, and connects it to generative AI agents and applications.

Glean was founded by a seasoned team of former Google search and Facebook engineers who saw a need in the enterprise space for their technical depth and passion for AI. We’re a diverse team of curious and creative people who want to help each other get big things done—so we can help other teams do the same. 

We're backed by some of the Valley's leading venture capitalists—including Sequoia, Kleiner Perkins, Lightspeed, and General Catalyst—and have assembled a world-class team with senior leadership experience at Google, Slack, Facebook, Dropbox, Rubrik, Uber, Intercom, Pinterest, Palantir, and others.

 

Strategic Events Manager

SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT THIS OPPORTUNITY: This role will be U.S. Remote 

Glean is looking for a Strategic Events Manager who will take our sponsored strategic event programs to the next level. 

You will support the experiential events and programs that bring the Glean message to our target personas in innovative companies everywhere. Programs will be aligned to regional and segment-specific sales priorities and revenue targets, and will include sponsored trade shows, proprietary Glean events, partner programs, account-based strategy, and executive programs. You are passionate about Strategic Events and have a knack for working across sales and marketing teams to drive high volumes of quality pipeline.

 

What you will do and achieve

As to be expected in a start-up moving as fast as we are, the scope of this position will evolve continuously. Comfort with ambiguity is required. Below is a partial representation of what may be included in the Strategic Events scope of responsibilities:

  • As Glean’s Strategic Events manager, you will be responsible for contributing to the success of our Strategic Events programs: driving a strategy, planning, execution, and follow-up of events & related campaigns throughout the year.
  • Marketing is a team sport, so you’ll partner cross-functionally with sales, business development, partnerships, and other marketing functions to create internal enablement programs and external marketing campaigns that maximize the reach and return of each and every event.
  • Tap into your creative side to help identify new opportunities for telling the Glean story, and capture the attention of our target audience
  • Own programs end-to-end in a fast-paced environment with excellent attention to detail and execution
  • Objectively evaluate the ROI on programs and adjust tactics to drive true revenue results for the company
  • Act as the intermediary between the marketing and field sales teams to ensure alignment, understanding and follow-through of all programs, goals, and outcomes
  • Travel required ~25-35% of the time

 

Must-haves:

  • 5+ years experience in a B2B SaaS field marketing or strategic events role
  • Experienced in end-to-end event ownership of successful event programs that generate results: from conception, to planning, to execution, to analysis. 
  • Hands-on: you know events from the inside-out, and aren’t afraid to jump in and do things yourself.
  • Exceptional project-management skills and extreme attention to detail
  • Data-driven: you know where every dollar invested in an event goes, and exactly what you get out of it
  • You are comfortable managing multiple projects on your own and working autonomously as-needed, but look for opportunities to collaborate wherever possible.
  • Strong interpersonal and communication skills with a focus on relationship-building
  • A leader by nature: High comfort level collaborating with leaders & stakeholders across the company to drive alignment & lead your programs to success. 

 

Nice to haves: 

  • Experience in planning and/or supporting large corporate events (ie user conferences, sales kick-offs, etc)
  • Content creation: Comfortable taking a first pass at content for event marketing materials, including brochures, presentations, and digital assets.
  • You’re more than just an event expert, but look to become an expert in your audience as well – and you are comfortable identifying, researching, and recommending new event marketing opportunities. 
  • Basic graphic design skills and use of tools like Figma and Canva.
  • A background working in live broadcasts with knowledge of AV and production tools and experiences.
  • Comfortable in common CRMs, event/registration software, & project management tools, including:
    • CRMs: Salesforce, Marketo, or similar
    • Event/Registration: Swoogo, Splash, Cvent, etc.
    • Project Management: Asana, Monday, etc.

Benefits

  • Competitive compensation
  • Healthcare
  • Flexible work environment
  • 401k
