This incredibly ambitious format aligns with the local feel of the 50,000+ person dbt Community. It invites dbt users from all over the world to “coalesce” wherever they are for a single week of learning together.

• Oversee event operations, including budget, logistics and invoicing
• Work closely with the Campaign Promotion Manager to drive registration and attendance at satellite events
• Champion continuous evolution of the Coalesce event experiences through customer and stakeholder feedback
• Travel and work non-traditional hours

It would be great if you have:

• 5-7 years experience in events management with evidence of executing a flagship event program, overseeing vendor relationships, participation in exhibitions, etc.

• Proven ability to prioritize effectively while managing multiple competing priorities
• A data-driven mindset
• Experience with tools such as HubSpot and project management tools like Asana
