About Smartcat

Smartcat is on a mission to become the wall-to-wall Language AI platform, addressing the diverse needs in multilingual content for various user personas within global enterprises. 

Smartcat is uniquely positioned within the $100+ billion multilingual content industry, which is currently served by tens of thousands of agencies. This results in a highly fragmented and inefficient supply chain, high costs, unacceptable turnaround times, and quality issues. Using highly qualified internal resources to translate or create multilingual content (insourcing) solves the quality problem for enterprises, but if done manually, it can't solve for scalability, high cost, and slow turnaround.

Smartcat changes the ROI equation in favor of insourcing with its Language AI platform for enterprise end-users. It delivers high-quality, instantaneous AI translations or generates new content in any language by tapping into a customer-specific multilingual content library. The AI output is further refined through human editing by the client's internal reviewers or experts from the Smartcat's embedded global marketplace of linguists and content editors. This AI output continuously improves through the editing feedback loop, ensuring consistent and customer-tailored results.

More than 1,000 global companies including ~20% of the Fortune 1,000 trust Smartcat to communicate their innovations and ideas all over the world.

As a dynamic Series C company, Smartcat is growing at 130% YoY, thanks to the high and quick ROI it delivers to global enterprises. It's well-funded by notable VCs, and is capital efficient, offering a unique blend of hyper-growth potential with downside protection and the capacity for long-term planning and strategy.

Mission

We have one of the fastest growing software solutions in the $50B global language industry achieving 100% year over year ARR growth for the last several years. Yet, we are just beginning to tap into the full potential of our events strategy through carefully planned and executed programs to generate meetings and pipeline.

Your mission will be to accelerate pipeline and ARR growth through the development and execution of virtual and in-person events to double our event pipeline generation over the baseline for next 12 to 18 months.

Experience with both large global industry & regional events, company generated webinars, and onsite client lunch & learns will be critical to your success.

Outcomes

  1. Develop and execute on an events strategy and plan to drive a 3x increase pipeline over baseline from events in the next 12 to 18 months
  2. Develop and manage a comprehensive global event strategy and plan to drive meetings, open deals and pipeline for our expansion and new sales teams
  3. Partner with and direct the sales teams to execute on pre-event outreach, onsite social engagement (e.g. dinners or happy hours) and post-event follow up and to generate meetings & pipeline
  4. Partner with sales to solicit client or industry thought leader participation in events to attract both enterprise level executives and practitioners alike
