Our mission is to make world-class software security available to everyone. This means building program analysis tools that are open source, easy to use, powerful, and fast. It also means building a team with security expertise and a passion for great developer experiences. Most of all, it means working with honesty and respect in a diverse community of dreamers and builders. We’ve redefined static analysis tooling by committing to all of these, and turned our project, Semgrep, into an essential safeguard for code at Snowflake, Dropbox, and more.
As the Global Corporate Events Manager, you’ll play a key role on the Semgrep marketing team, leading the execution of our global event strategy across major conferences, regional trade shows, customer events, and virtual experiences. We’re looking for a strategic, self-driven professional who can build and scale both in-person and virtual programs for the security community — from practitioners to executives. You’ll also identify and develop thought leadership opportunities that strengthen our presence in security, developer advocacy, and AI. Experience creating events for technical audiences is essential, as their expectations differ from general attendees. You’ll collaborate closely with Field and Security Advocacy teams to propose events and speaking opportunities that align with their goals. We’re a fast-moving, high-performing team that values creativity, precision, and a positive attitude.

- Manage execution of all events and their demand generation, including pre- and post-event communications, registration processes, and attendee management.
- Partner with Sales, SE, PMM, and other stakeholders to promote events and webinars.
- Provide consistent and clear communication of events programs to all stakeholders, including preparing and maintaining internal and external event planning documents, checklists, on-site schedules, timelines, recommendations, and budget.
- Lead evaluating ROI for all events; negotiate and execute contracts for both large and small scale events, collaborate with promotional & print vendors, and keep up with industry best practices to find creative new venues and creative solutions.
- 8+ years of B2B tech event marketing, while also demonstrating operational and logistical expertise in a marketing/corporate events role, both for onsite, virtual and hybrid formats.
- Budget Management skills to forecast, manage, and summarize event spend with internal teams and vendors; analytical skills to measure event ROI
- Ability to work on multiple projects at once, set priorities, work independently, problem solve, improvise and function as part of a team that must perform under pressure
- Experience using Salesforce, Marketo, and digital event platforms strongly preferred
- You are excited at the prospect of getting to meet our customers and prospects in-person and are energized by the idea of traveling for work (up to 30% of your time)
