turbopuffer is looking for someone to help us show up in the real world. You'll own our strategy and presence at conferences, dinners, meetups, booths, & after parties. Your job is to make memorable events for those that puff today and those that will puff soon.

what you'll do:

• plan our calendar far in advance. pick the events worth showing up to and kill the ones that aren't

• run the event logistics end-to-end: budget, booth, meeting rooms, swag, staffing, follow-up

• plan and host meetups/dinners; handle logistics for both external and internal puffers

• build a set of quantitative and qualitative goals for our events

• work with designers on booths, swag, and other items

• collaborate closely with our existing close-knit growth team

must have:

• operator – you can run a 16-person dinner and a 512-person happy hour with the same precision

• numerate – share quantifiable results from our events

• taste – you have strong opinions about brand, copy, and partners

• scrappy – you'd rather book the venue today than wait for the perfect plan

• networked – you know the venues & vendors that make for the best events

• independent – you figure things out without waiting to be told

nice to have:

• you've sold to engineers before and know why most engineers hate marketing tactics

• you've thrown a party people still talk about

values we live by:

turbopuffer shows up in our marketing as both harcore and whimsical. And we live by our values:

• overstep > understep

• show > tell

• complexity is earned

• we are an extension of the customer’s team

note: this is a remote role but with significant travel expectations (~50% of time spent on the road if outside of NY/SF)
