About the role
We're looking for our founding Field Marketing and Community person — someone who owns how LlamaIndex shows up in the real world and turns in-person experiences into pipeline.
You'll own our entire field program end to end: the corporate events we host, the first-party experiences we create, the third-party conferences we sponsor, and the ecosystem partnerships we build with other vendors in the AI space. This is a combination of strategy and hands-on execution — you'll decide where we show up and why, then roll up your sleeves and make it happen, from venue booking to booth staffing to post-event follow-up.
We see this as an open-level role and are flexible for candidates at all levels. We care far more about your ability to create memorable experiences and drive measurable pipeline than about years on a résumé.
What you'll do
Own field marketing end to end. Build the strategy, calendar, and budget for all in-person programs — then execute them hands-on. You are both the architect and the operator.
Run our corporate and first-party events. Plan and produce dinners, workshops, meetups, roadshows, and hosted experiences that put LlamaIndex in front of the right technical and enterprise audiences.
Manage third-party events and sponsorships. Evaluate which conferences and industry events are worth our presence, negotiate sponsorships, and make sure we stand out when we're there.
Build ecosystem partnerships. Develop co-marketing relationships with other vendors in the AI ecosystem — joint events, shared audiences, and partner activations that multiply our reach.
Create memorable experiences. Every touchpoint should be something attendees talk about afterward. You obsess over the details that make an event feel different.
Drive pipeline through targeted in-person experiences. Partner closely with sales to pick the right audiences, get the right people in the room, and convert conversations into qualified opportunities.
Measure and report on effectiveness. Own the metrics for every field program — registrations, attendance, pipeline sourced and influenced, and cost per opportunity — and use them to double down on what works.
Lay the foundation for community. As our founding field and community hire, you'll shape how we engage our developer and customer community in person over the long term.
What we're looking for
1–3+ years of field marketing, event marketing, or community experience in the AI/ML space (or adjacent developer/enterprise infrastructure) — but we're flexible at all levels for exceptional candidates.
A track record of managing corporate events, first-party events, and third-party sponsorships from concept through post-event follow-up.
Experience building ecosystem or co-marketing partnerships with other vendors.
A pipeline mindset. You treat events as a revenue channel, not a checkbox, and you can speak to the numbers behind programs you've run.
Equal comfort with strategy and execution. You can present a quarterly field plan to leadership in the morning and haul swag boxes to a venue in the afternoon.
Exceptional organization and project management under tight timelines and shifting priorities.
Based in or willing to be in the San Francisco Bay Area for a hybrid schedule, with willingness to travel for events.
Nice to have
Existing relationships in the AI/developer-tools ecosystem (vendors, communities, event organizers).
Experience as a first or early marketing hire, building programs from zero.
Experience marketing to both developers and enterprise buyers.
Familiarity with event and marketing tools (CRM, marketing automation, event platforms).
Pursuant to the San Francisco Fair Chance Ordinance, we will consider for employment qualified applicants with arrest and conviction records.
