Overview

As a member of our Sales Strategy and Operations team, you will have an integral role in driving events that enable the sales organization to run better, faster, and smarter. As our first Corporate Events hire you will be running events from beginning to end. You will be strategizing on the vision of our events with executives and ensuring we are getting the smallest details done right. We aren’t hiring a person to hire an events company. We are hiring you to do the work and execute these events using mostly internal resources. You will be taking point on executing our quarterly Verkada SKO (Sales Kick Off) and other Sales events that motivate and train the sales org. Additionally, you will be responsible for smaller scale regional events (i.e. bringing customers together, boosting recruiting efforts).
