Events Marketing Manager

Description:

Valence has built the first-to-market AI native coaching platform for enterprise, offering personalized, expert, and human-like guidance & support to any leader or employee. At Valence, we're not just talking about the future of work – we're actively shaping it.

From your first interaction with us, you'll notice we're different. By working here you won't just implement solutions for our clients; you'll be helping to architect the future of leadership in the age of generative AI. And we'll be honest – this is not for everyone. But for those with an insatiable desire to work fast on complex, unsolved challenges with some of the best talent in tech, this could be the career-defining opportunity you've been waiting for.

The Role

Many of Valence’s best customer relationships started with a conversation at a summit, dinner, or well-executed conference. As we expand our presence in both the U.S. and Europe, we’re looking for someone to take full ownership of our events program and help us scale it with care, creativity, and precision.

This is a hands-on role with high visibility and high impact. You’ll plan and execute events that bring our brand to life, generate pipeline, and provide a platform for both internal leaders and client champions to share unique perspective on AI and the future of work. You’ll work closely with GTM and Sales to ensure each event connects to the bigger picture and runs smoothly from start to finish. You’ll also be the one making sure our event budget is well spent, our operations are buttoned up, and our playbooks can scale as we grow.

If you love juggling logistics, thinking strategically, and making every detail count, this is a chance to build something lasting at a company that sees events as a core part of how we go to market.
