Marketing: Events Marketing Manager - HYBRID

About The Role

Our client, a fast-growing health tech startup, is hiring an Events Marketing Manager to own and build the events function from the ground up.

This is a high-ownership, 0-to-1 role where you'll define the strategy, run the logistics, and measure outcomes across executive dinners, summits, recruiting events, and healthcare conferences. Healthcare or health tech events experience is a strong plus, but what matters most is that you've led events end-to-end and can thrive in a fast-moving startup environment. You'll report directly to the VP of Operations and be instrumental in increasing the company's visibility with C-suite health system leaders across the US.

What You'll Do

• Stand up the events function from scratch — identify which event types (summits, executive dinners, roundtables, conference activations, recruiting events) gain the most traction and build repeatable playbooks for each.
• Plan and execute the first-ever hosted Summit (30–40 attendees, targeting mid-summer 2025) featuring customer case studies, panel discussions, and keynotes from physician investors.
• Run rapid experiments across event formats — from hands-on product workshops to intimate dinner series for healthcare executives in cities across the US — iterating based on what drives real outcomes.
• Go beyond logistics to deeply understand the company's product and ideal customer profile, shaping event programming that genuinely excites and engages senior healthcare leaders.
• Manage end-to-end event operations including venues, vendors, catering, AV, travel, budgets, and post-event retrospectives — while turning the SF office into a repeatable event space for recruiting and customer gatherings.

What You Bring

Required:

• 5–10 years of experience in B2B events marketing
• Led or owned end-to-end event execution (not just coordinated as one of many on a large team)
• Experience planning intimate executive-level events (dinners, roundtables, summits of 30–50 attendees)
• Executive presence — comfortable engaging C-suite healthcare leaders in person

Preferred:

• Events experience in healthcare, health tech, or clinical AI
• Startup experience
