Reporting to the Head of Demand Generation and partnering closely with marketing, product, and sales, you will be a key force in how Vercel shows up to the world.
Job Responsibility:
Execute Vercel's flagship events: Support the editorial calendar and creative direction for Ship, Next.js Conf, and more coordinating across launches, narrative arcs, and the partner ecosystem
Deliver world-class execution: Lead end-to-end planning and stagecraft (budgeting, vendors, programming, production, branding, on-site ops) with clear targets for attendance, NPS, influenced pipeline, and content reach
Help shape the story: Collaborate with PMM and leadership to develop keynotes, demos, and narrative arcs
and help curate a speaker bench of customers, OSS leaders, and partners
Drive high-impact sponsored presence: Execute activations for AWS re:Invent and other key industry events—ensuring Vercel's presence is unmissable
Connect events to company goals: Work closely with product, developer relations, sales, and marketing to ensure each event drives measurable awareness, demand, and community growth
Manage budgets and logistics: Track event spend, reconcile invoices, and support forecasting and ROI modeling
contribute to the event tech stack to attribute impact end to end
Coordinate cross-functional teams: Provide day-to-day coordination with design, video, and PMM, and manage agencies and contractors to deliver at scale
