Event Marketing Manager

We are building AI to simulate the world through merging art and science.

We believe that world models are at the frontier of progress in artificial intelligence. Language models alone won’t solve the world’s hardest problems – robotics, disease, scientific discovery. Real progress requires models that experience the world and learn from their mistakes, the same way that humans do. And this kind of trial and error can be massively accelerated when done in simulation, rather than in the real world.

World models offer the most clear path to general-purpose simulation, changing how stories are told, how scientific progress is made and how the next frontiers of humanity are reached.

Our team consists of creative, open minded, caring and ambitious people who are determined to change the world. We aspire to continuously build impossible things and our ability to do so relies on building an incredible team. If you are driven to do the same, we'd love to hear from you.

About the role

We're looking for an Event Marketing Manager to join our team of creatives, engineers, business folks, and more.

In this role, you'll shape our event strategy by coming up with and running events that support initiatives across Runway.

Things are always moving quickly at Runway. This role calls for excellent communication and organization skills, and a flexible, adaptable mindset. You should be comfortable with change and care about getting the details right.

What you’ll do

Source venues & vendors from existing relationships or outreach

Coordinate vendors for events (ex. venues, security, production installs, print collateral)

Collaborate with Sales, Partnerships and Community teams to curate guest lists and attendees based on team goals (ex. generate new leads, deepen partnership relationships, expand community presence)

Run day-of event activities and schedules

Handle partner outreach and partnerships for events (festival partners, event sponsors, etc.)

What you’ll need

5+ years of marketing experience with 2+ of those years in event marketing and/or production, ideally with conferences

Proven track record of working autonomously with limited oversight to bring an event or experiential campaign to life from initial concept through to final execution with minimal direction and within budget

Cross-functional experience working with teams such as Sales, Brand, Creative, Communications, etc.

Excellent communication and organizational skills

Openness to moving across various initiatives and marketing functions
