Job Description

About the Role

We're hiring an Events Marketing Manager to build and scale the events function from the ground up for a rapidly growing health tech startup.

This is a highly entrepreneurial, high-ownership role where you'll define event strategy, lead execution, and build repeatable systems across executive dinners, healthcare summits, recruiting events, conference activations, and customer engagement programs.

You'll work directly with leadership to increase visibility among healthcare executives and health system decision-makers while helping shape how the company builds relationships and brand presence across the healthcare ecosystem.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in startup environments, enjoys owning events end-to-end, and can combine strategic thinking with exceptional operational execution.

About the Company

The company is a fast-growing health tech startup building technology solutions for healthcare organizations and clinical leaders.

The organization is scaling rapidly and investing heavily in executive relationship-building, customer engagement, and thought leadership across the healthcare industry.

The events function is a strategic priority and will play a major role in helping the company build trust and visibility with senior healthcare stakeholders nationwide.

What You'll Do

Events Strategy & Program Development

  • Build the events function from scratch and define the long-term events strategy
  • Identify which event formats drive the strongest engagement and business outcomes
  • Develop scalable playbooks for:

    • Executive dinners
    • Roundtables
    • Summits
    • Conference activations
    • Recruiting events
    • Educational programming
  • Run experiments across multiple event formats and iterate based on performance data

Executive & Healthcare Engagement

  • Build event experiences tailored to healthcare executives and health system leaders
  • Develop programming that resonates with C-suite healthcare audiences
  • Partner with leadership on customer-facing and thought leadership initiatives
  • Help elevate the company's visibility across the healthcare ecosystem

Event Planning & Execution

  • Plan and execute end-to-end event logistics including:

    • Venues
    • Vendors
    • Catering
    • AV
    • Travel coordination
    • Budgets
    • Post-event retrospectives
  • Lead execution of executive-level summits and hosted events
  • Help transform the San Francisco office into a repeatable event space for customer and recruiting gatherings

Operational Scaling

  • Build repeatable systems, templates, and operational processes
  • Track event KPIs and measure outcomes tied to engagement and business impact
  • Continuously improve event workflows and execution standards as the company scales

Required Qualifications

Experience

  • 5–10 years of experience in B2B events marketing
  • Proven ownership of events from strategy through execution
  • Experience planning and executing intimate executive-level events such as:

    • Executive dinners
    • Roundtables
    • Leadership summits
    • Small-format conferences
  • Strong executive presence and communication skills
  • Comfortable interacting directly with senior healthcare leaders and C-suite stakeholders
  • Strong operational and project management capabilities
  • Experience operating in fast-moving environments with high autonomy

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience in:

    • Healthcare
    • Health tech
    • Clinical AI
  • Startup experience
  • Experience building event functions or programs from scratch

Work Environment

  • Location: San Francisco, California
  • Hybrid schedule: 3 days onsite
  • Frequent travel across the United States required
  • Full-time role in a high-growth startup environment

Visa Support

  • No sponsorship available

Compensation & Benefits

Compensation

  • Base Salary: $160,000 – $195,000 USD
  • Equity included

What the Company Is Looking For

The ideal candidate:

  • Has true end-to-end event ownership experience
  • Can operate independently without heavy structure
  • Is highly organized and execution-oriented
  • Combines strategic thinking with operational excellence
  • Understands how to engage senior healthcare stakeholders
  • Thrives in startup environments with ambiguity and rapid iteration

The company is especially interested in candidates with experience across multiple event categories — not just traditional trade shows or pipeline marketing events.

Why This Role Stands Out

Foundational Ownership

You'll build the company's events function from the ground up with significant influence over strategy, execution, and long-term direction.

Executive-Level Exposure

This role works directly with healthcare executives, physician leaders, and senior stakeholders across the healthcare ecosystem.

Broad Event Scope

The role spans executive dinners, customer events, recruiting events, summits, and thought leadership programming.

Startup-Level Impact

You'll directly influence brand visibility, executive engagement, customer relationships, and company growth.

Healthcare + AI Market Opportunity

The company operates within one of the fastest-growing intersections in technology and healthcare innovation.
