Events Lead

Responsibilities

• Strategy & ROI: Own Solve's global events strategy end-to-end — across GTM, talent, and brand — and the return on every dollar spent. Treat each event as an experiment: measure it with our growth marketer, triple down on what works, kill what doesn't.
• Conferences (our #1 channel): Lead our presence at the 70+ industry conferences we sponsor each year across the US, Europe, and Asia (AIPLA, INTA, IPO, EPO) — booths, speaking slots, and the dinners and drinks receptions around them.
• The Flagship: Build Solve's annual flagship event from zero — concept, audience, partnerships, content, on-the-day execution. We recently hosted 100 of the largest Silicon Valley tech companies (Google, Meta, Apple, Microsoft) for a closed-door panel and networking evening; think ElevenLabs-Summit scale next, with real capital behind it.
• Curated gatherings: Founder dinners, customer roundtables, rooftop socials, and product-launch moments across London, New York, and Munich.
• Talent & employer brand: Hackathons, technical meetups, university partnerships, and our presence at AI conferences (NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR) — bringing the best AI engineers and researchers into Solve's orbit, in partnership with our Talent team.
• Operational excellence: Vendors, budgets, logistics, run-of-show, and post-event follow-up — all handled without drop.
• AI-powered event ops: Scale a traditionally high-touch function with AI — attendee research, follow-up sequences, content repurposing — and partner with our RevOps engineers to wire every event into HubSpot and Ashby with full attribution.

Requirements

• A track record of running events people remember — conferences, summits, hackathons, or community events — owned end-to-end, with results you can point to.
• Commercial instinct: You can show how events you've run contributed to pipeline, revenue, or hires — with numbers.
• Serious operational rigour: Vendors, budgets, logistics, run-of-show, and follow-up all handled without drop.
• Comfort with a global remit: You'll coordinate events across three continents from London, and travel internationally for the ones that matter.
• Exceptionally clear written and verbal communication.

Nice to have

• High-growth experience: You've run events at a fast-growing B2B SaaS or AI company and know what good looks like.
• Flagship from zero: You've designed and launched an annual flagship event from scratch — concept, audience, format, brand.
• Technical events: Hackathons, meetups, or developer-facing events at an AI or dev-tools company.
• IP/legal familiarity: You know (or can quickly learn) the professional-services world we sell into.
• GTM stack fluency: HubSpot, Ashby, Zapier/n8n, event platforms (Hopin, Bizzabo, Goldcast) — you can build the workflows yourself, not just brief someone else.
• Brand & creative sensibility: You can brief a designer and have a view on every touchpoint.
• A network in AI, tech, or enterprise events circles.

Benefits

• Compensation: Competitive base + significant equity — true ownership in a high-growth startup.
• Founding Impact: Be events hire #1, own our biggest growth channel, and spend real budget on big swings from day one.
• Support: Full UK visa sponsorship, private medical insurance (Bupa), and 6% employer pension contribution/401k.
• Perks: Free daily meals and the chance to work with the smartest minds in AI.
