About the role
We’re looking for an Events Lead to own and scale Sardine’s global events program, from major industry conferences and tradeshows to our flagship conference, SardineCon, and our SardineCon executive dinners, happy hours, and partner events.

- Lead end-to-end event planning and execution, from sponsorship negotiations, budgeting, venue selection, and vendor management to logistics, production, staffing, and on-site execution.
- Oversee on-site execution to ensure booths, branding, meetings, hospitality, and event experiences meet a consistently high standard.
- Identify, evaluate, and source new event opportunities across industries, verticals, and regions, prioritizing those that deliver the strongest ROI.
- Build repeatable pre-event playbooks covering account targeting, meeting booking, staffing, team briefings, and promotion.
- Own event performance reporting, tracking attendance, target account engagement, meetings, pipeline generation, and influenced revenue.
- Lead post-event retrospectives with internal stakeholders to improve execution and refine event selection.
- Manage the global events budget, including forecasting, sponsorship and vendor negotiations, and cost optimization.
- Build and lead an internal events team as the calendar grows, establishing clear responsibilities, processes, and systems.
- Manage our external events agency, vendors, and contractors, holding partners accountable for execution quality and timelines.
What they're looking for
- Managed a high volume of events across regions and audiences
- High standards for execution
- Comfortable developing an events strategy
- Experience negotiating sponsorships
- Capable of solving problems on the show floor
