Job Description:
Vendelux is transforming how companies discover, evaluate, and
maximize the impact of events. Event marketers are the driving
force behind pipeline and brand — yet events remain one of the
least optimized and most opaque marketing channels. Vendelux
changes that. We provide the system of record for event marketing,
giving teams the data and insights they need to make smarter, more
strategic decisions. Our AI-powered platform delivers proprietary
insights across 250,000 events, helping high-growth companies
identify where their ideal customers will be, maximize ROI, and
turn events into a scalable growth channel. Customers often
describe Vendelux as an event marketer’s dream. A key part of this
is our growing network of event organizer partnerships — where
organizers share first-party attendee and sponsorship data, and in
return gain access to valuable market insights. In addition,
Vendelux Meetings helps customers turn event insights into action —
using AI to identify high-value attendees and automatically book
1:1 meetings with the right prospects at conferences. This allows
teams to maximize pipeline generation and make every event
materially more impactful. Founded in 2021, Vendelux is a Series A
SaaS company backed by leading investors including FirstMark, with
a recent $14M round. Our team brings experience from companies like
Bain, ZoomInfo, Shutterstock, Compass, Forter, Airbnb, and more.
The Events & Community Lead role is two-fold: this person will own
Vendelux’s entire events ecosystem and serve as the public face of
Vendelux for the event marketing community. Our events plan
includes everything from a major flagship event in 2026 to our
trade show presences, activations, dinners, virtual programs. The
second pillar of the role is building, activating, and scaling a
highly engaged community of event, field, and marketing
professionals, both customers and the broader market. The right
candidate will be comfortable being the voice of event marketers,
posting their unique POV on social media, and becoming central in
Vendelux’s marketing strategy. What You’ll Do Own the full Vendelux
event portfolio end-to-end: design, plan, execute, and iterate on a
mix of event formats: Design and run a mix of event formats: a
large Vendelux conference, customer advisory retreat, conference
sponsorships, smaller VIP dinners, event activations, and webinars.
Design unforgettable events: Vendelux events should be unique and
impressive even to event professionals. Design community programs
that turn customers and peers into active advocates, amplifying
Vendelux through word-of-mouth, social, and industry presence.
Drive attendance and engagement: Design smart invite strategies,
pre-event motions, and follow-ups. Use Vendelux to identify the
right events, activate the right audience, and generate meaningful
meetings and pipeline for our sales team through Vendelux Meetings.
Be a visible leader in the event marketing world: Show up in event
communities, LinkedIn, slack forums as an active participant,
spotting opportunities, building relationships, and keeping
Vendelux top of mind with our ICP. Be willing to “build in public”
for the event marketing community Own and grow our community:
