Customers including Nvidia, Blackstone, Royal Bank of Canada (RBC), Palo Alto Networks, Adobe, and T-Mobile run Factory to ship code, review PRs, run tests, and deploy continuously - getting smarter with every cycle.\nIn 2026, we raised $200M at a $5B valuation, bringing our total funding to over $400M. We are backed by world-class investors and operators including Khosla Ventures, Sequoia, Blackstone, Ali Ghodsi (CEO of Databricks), and Frank Slootman (Former CEO of Snowflake).\nAbout the Role\nFactory is hiring an Events Lead to build and lead the events function.\nYou will not inherit a fully built team or playbook - you will define Factory's events strategy, build and lead the team, and own the full portfolio of programs: flagship experiences such as user conferences, Sales Kickoff, President's Club, and Tier-1 conferences like AWS re:Invent, alongside field marketing.\nYou will own the events strategy, global budget, operating rhythm, standards, and measurement, partnering closely with Marketing, Sales Enablement and Executive Leadership to ensure every program strengthens Factory's brand and drives measurable business outcomes.\nThis role is both strategic and hands-on. You will set the vision, build the organization, and define how Factory shows up through events - while staying close enough to execution to guarantee the most important programs are delivered at an exceptional standard. Over time, you will hire and scale the team needed to support Factory's growth.\nWhat you will do and achieve\nOwn Factory's overall flagship events strategy and portfolio, defining how Factory shows up through events so every program strengthens the brand and drives measurable business outcomes.\n\nBuild, hire, lead, and develop the events team.\n\nOwn and allocate the global events budget across the portfolio, including forecasting, prioritization, reconciliation, and ROI.\n\nSet the annual events calendar and planning process across flagship programs and conferences.\n\nDefine and own the events operating model - standards, playbooks, production quality bar, and measurement frameworks - across the entire events organization.\n\nOwn portfolio-level agency and vendor relationships, including MSAs.\n\nProvide executive oversight of flagship programs such as user conferences, SKO, President's Club, and Tier-1 conferences (eg: AWS re:Invent), ensuring executive-level quality and impact.\n\nPartner cross-functionally across Marketing, Brand, Sales Enablement, People, Finance, Legal, and Executive Leadership.\n\nChampion the Factory voice across the entire events portfolio.\n\nQualifications\nExperience building and leading an events function at a high-growth company, including hiring, managing, and developing high-performing teams.\n\nProven track record owning a portfolio of flagship programs (eg, SKO, President's Club, user conferences, Tier-1 industry conferences), managing multiple concurrent programs and stakeholders.\n\nExperience owning large, multimillion-dollar events budgets, including allocation across programs, forecasting, and ROI measurement.\n\nStrong track record aligning events to pipeline, revenue, and company priorities in close partnership with Sales and Marketing leadership.\n\nExperience negotiating and managing agencies, production companies, venues, and strategic vendors at scale.\n\nExcellent leadership, cross-functional influence, and executive communication skills.\n\nComfort with event and marketing tools such as Salesforce, event management platforms, and registration tools.\n\nWillingness to travel for onsite production and execution of flagship events.\n\nLocation: San Francisco, CA or New York, NY (in office), or Remote\nThis role requires significant travel for onsite production and execution of flagship events.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4026,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["AI
