About the Role

We're looking for a Tradeshow & Events Manager to join Semgrep's growing Event Marketing team. Reporting directly to the Head of Global Events, this IC role is built for someone who thrives on execution ownership, taking a defined events calendar and strategy and driving it flawlessly from kickoff to post-show results.

You'll be the operational engine behind Semgrep's third-party tradeshow and conference program, owning end-to-end execution and building the processes that make our presence scalable and repeatable. You'll collaborate closely with the Head of Global Events on experience design and positioning, then take the wheel on bringing it to life, including the hosted dinners, side events, and on-site activations that make our conference footprint more than just a booth. You understand revenue marketing goals, and see yourself as a key contributor to pipeline outcomes, taking pride in execution that directly moves the business forward.

Location expectations:

Our hope is you will be based out of San Francisco or New York City. For the right candidate, we’re willing to be flexible to states we hire in.

Please Note: For US-based roles open to remote work, we are currently able to hire employees in the following states only: Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin.
