The role

The role

We’re looking for a hyper-organized, brand-savvy, and creative event manager to help us deliver on an ambitious program of live experiences. You’ll be tasked with producing and executing on a variety of events––from executive dinners to industry conferences to webinars and more––that help drive leads, accelerate opportunities, and elevate our brand.

Our ideal candidate will be a hands-on and detail-oriented event pro with experience in field marketing, tradeshow management, and event production. You’ll be someone who loves rolling up their sleeves to get the job done and is equally comfortable––and excited––to go venue hunting, outline a project plan, or manage a tradeshow activation. You don’t need to be a climate expert, but passion for our mission is a big plus.

This is a full-time (40hrs/week), independent contractor position, that will begin with an initial 30-day trial period.

You will:

Plan, manage, and execute event activations from end-to-end, from concepting to logistics to production, and more
Collaborate closely with the sales team on invites, leads, activations, and outreach strategies
Create and own detailed project plans for events, and frequently circulate plans and updates to stakeholders
Research opportunities based on objectives, target audiences, and industries, and make proactive recommendations for adjustments to our strategy
Help the events program scale by creating and distributing resources such as templates and playbooks
Evaluate event outcomes and successes, share learnings, and optimize plans based on those learnings

Our ideal candidate will have:

4+ years of event experience, with at least 2+ in B2B marketing
Proven success producing a variety of event types, and juggling multiple projects at once on short timelines
Experience collaborating with a Sales team on event execution
A working knowledge of the marketing funnel and event performance metrics
Outstanding project management and prioritization skills, and exceptional attention to detail
Excellent written and verbal communication skills
Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, high-growth environment, with a bias towards being proactive and self-directed

FAQ

Where does Watershed work?

We have hub offices in San Francisco, New York and London, and some remote team members in the US and EU. Most of our jobs need to be in San Francisco / New York / London, but certain jobs are open to being remote and will be specifically noted on the jobs page and in the job description.

What’s the interview process like?

It starts the same for every candidate: getting to know the team members through 1 to 2 conversations about Watershed, your experience, and your interests. Next steps can vary by role, but usual next steps are a skill or experience screen (e.g. a coding interview for an engineer, a portfolio review for a designer, deeper experience call for other roles) which leads to a virtual or in person interview panel after that if the screens go well. We prioritize transparency and lack of surprise throughout the process.
