About the Role

We are seeking a Corporate Events Manager to own Horizon3.ai http://Horizon3.ai's most significant internal and external flagship programs - including our Sales Kickoff, Company Kickoff, President's Club, and User Conference. This is a senior individual contributor role responsible for the end-to-end strategy, planning, and execution of programs that shape company culture, celebrate performance, and bring our customer community together at scale.

You will report to the Director of Field Marketing and work in close partnership with Sales, Revenue Operations, Executive Leadership, People, and Marketing to deliver programs that are operationally flawless, strategically aligned, and memorable in the right ways. You will also provide support on Horizon3.ai http://Horizon3.ai's tier 1 field event presence - including Black Hat and RSAC - as needed alongside the broader events team.

This role requires someone who has done this before at scale - who understands the complexity of a multi-day, multi-stakeholder internal event just as well as a customer-facing conference, and who can manage executive expectations, vendor relationships, and a hundred moving pieces without anything slipping.

What You'll Do

Sales Kickoff (SKO) & Company Kickoff (CKO)

Own the end-to-end planning and execution of Horizon3.ai http://Horizon3.ai's annual Sales Kickoff and Company Kickoff - including venue selection and contracting, agenda architecture, speaker management, AV and production, attendee logistics, and on-site execution.

Partner with Sales Leadership, Revenue Operations, and People to align SKO programming to go-to-market priorities, product launches, and enablement goals - ensuring the event is strategically useful, not just motivational.

Partner with Executive Leadership and Marketing on CKO programming and messaging - translating company strategy and cultural priorities into a cohesive, engaging experience for the full company.

Manage all vendor relationships for SKO and CKO - including venues, hotels, AV and production companies, catering, entertainment, and travel coordination - with a disciplined budget lens and a bias toward quality over extravagance.

Build and maintain a full project plan for each program with clear owners, milestones, and dependencies - ensuring nothing is left to the last minute and stakeholders always know where things stand.

Own post-event surveys and debrief processes, capturing attendee feedback and sharing actionable insights with leadership to inform future program design.

President's Club

Own the full lifecycle of Horizon3.ai http://Horizon3.ai's President's Club program - from destination selection and vendor contracting through on-site execution and post-trip recognition.

Partner with Sales Leadership and Revenue Operations to align eligibility criteria, attendee lists, and program timing to the annual sales calendar.

Manage all logistics end to end: destination research and selection, hotel and venue contracting, air and ground travel coordination, activity programming, dining experiences, and on-site event management.

Ensure the President's Club experience reflects the seniority and achievement of the attendees - every detail should signal that this is a reward program, not a work trip.

User Conference

Own Horizon3.ai http://Horizon3.ai's external User Conference - a customer-facing flagship event that brings the NodeZero user community together around product education, customer stories, best practices, and relationship building.

Lead the strategic program design in partnership with Product Marketing, Customer Marketing, and Customer Success - ensuring the agenda is built around what customers actually need and want, not just what internal teams want to present.

Manage all conference logistics: venue selection and contracting, speaker management, sponsorship coordination, registration, AV and production, signage and branding, catering, and attendee experience from arrival to close.

Partner with demand gen and field marketing to integrate pre-event promotion, registration campaigns, and post-event follow-up into the broader marketing motion.

Ensure the User Conference reinforces Horizon3.ai http://Horizon3.ai's enterprise brand positioning and leaves attendees with a stronger sense of community, product confidence, and loyalty.

Tier 1 Event Support

Provide operational support to the broader events team on Horizon3.ai http://Horizon3.ai's tier 1 field event presence - including Black Hat and RSAC - as capacity allows and as prioritized by the Director of Field Marketing.

Support may include vendor coordination, booth logistics, shipping, on-site execution support, and stakeholder coordination for executive appearances or speaking sessions at major c
