Resolve Ai
Event manager job in San Francisco, CA
At Resolve, we're building Agentic AI that empowers software engineers by automating production engineering and SRE workflows.

Our founders (Spiros Xanthos and Mayank Agarwal) are the core creators of OpenTelemetry and led Splunk Observability. They have had 2 successful exits to Splunk and VMware.
We raised a $35M Seed round from top-tier investors like Greylock, Unusual Ventures, Jeff Dean (Chief Scientist, Google DeepMind), Thomas Dohmke (CEO, GitHub), Matt Garman (CEO, AWS), Reid Hoffman (Founder, LinkedIn) and Fei Fei Li (Professor, Stanford).

Lead end-to-end event execution, from planning and cross-functional alignment to logistics, budgets, vendor coordination, and on-site operations.
Drive operational rigor through project plans, stakeholder communication, Salesforce reporting, and post-event performance analysis.
Manage executive involvement at events, including coordination with support teams, briefing materials, and day-of logistics.
Own on-site execution, including setup, registration, activation flow, and strike, ensuring experiences run smoothly for attendees and internal stakeholders alike.
Build and maintain event assets from landing pages and registration flows to content calendars, speaking slots, and attendee communications.
Track, analyze, and improve key event metrics (leads, MQLs/SQLs, pipeline influence, ROI) and use insights to optimize future trade show plans.
Support broader team events including user groups, customer summits, and regional activities as part of an integrated GTM event strategy.
Build process and playbooks to accelerate execution and scale the impact of events across the company.
What We're Looking For
6+ years of experience in event or trade show marketing, preferably within B2B technology, SaaS, or AI environment.
Proven history of managing trade shows and conferences end-to-end, including strategy, logistics, vendor management, and on-site leadership.
Strong project management skills with the ability to balance multiple events, priorities, and deadlines without losing sight of details.
Comfort operating in fast-paced, sometimes ambiguous environments and driving outcomes with urgency and autonomy.
Excellent cross-functional collaboration skills with a bias toward clear communication and shared success.
Experience owning budgets, vendor negotiations, and contracts with a focus on cost optimization and ROI.
A creative thinker who can bring innovative event concepts to life while maintaining operational discipline.
A strong data orientation, you define and track meaningful metrics and use insight to shape future plans.
Ability to travel seasonally, estimated travel requirement of up to 25%.
