About the Company

Armada is the hyperscaler for the edge, delivering modular AI infrastructure from first deployment to AI factory with speed, scale and sovereignty. Named one of Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies and to the CNBC Disruptor 50, Armada’s solutions are deployed in over 60 countries globally for organizations ranging from energy to defense. 

With nearly half a billion dollars in funding, Armada is backed by top investors such as Microsoft (M12), Founders Fund, and BlackRock, and has collaborations and partnerships including NVIDIA, Palantir and Dell Technologies. We are looking for the most brilliant minds in the world to join us. 

Working at Armada means taking ownership, driving autonomy, and delivering impact. You’ll tackle challenges that haven’t been solved before and help build something transformative from the ground up. What you do here will not only define your career but help further Armada’s mission to bridge the digital divide for customers around the world. 


About the Role  

In the sectors Armada serves, critical decisions are often made face to face: on the convention floor, at customer sites, during executive briefings, and in the field. Events are a key way prospects experience our technology, understand our technical differentiation, and engage directly with our team. 

This role will help scale Armada’s event motion as the company grows globally. As the second hire on the Events team, you will help plan and execute trade shows, roadshows, customer events, partner programs, executive briefings, and field activations that generate pipeline, strengthen customer relationships, and show Armada’s technology in action. You will bring operational rigor, strong judgment, and a bias for ownership to one of the most visible functions in the company.

  • Help plan and scale Armada’s event motion. Partner with the Head of Events to build a repeatable, high-impact event function across priority markets, industries, and customer segments. Help evaluate which formats are working, where we should invest, and how to scale programs without losing quality. 
  • Own trade show operations. Manage exhibitor portals, booth assignments, sponsorship deliverables, labor orders, shipping deadlines, compliance requirements, show services, and on-site logistics. You know how these systems work and do not let details fall through the cracks. 
  • Activate regional field programs. Coordinate roadshows, lunch and learns, product demos, Galleon tours, customer briefings, and partner co-marketing events. You will manage timelines, vendors, internal stakeholders, and logistics from kickoff through debrief. 
  • Support executive and speaker programs. Coordinate speaker submissions, session logistics, presenter needs, and on-site support. Partner with Communications, Content, and the Office of the CEO to ensure executives and technical SMEs are prepared, briefed, and supported.

  • Partner cross-functionally. Work closely with Content & Communications, Design, Demand Gen, Sales, Partnerships, Product Marketing, and technical teams to keep event programs on track. You will be the connective tissue across teams, making sure assets, collateral, demos, staffing, and follow-up are ready. 
  • Track and report event performance. Maintain event scorecards covering meetings set, leads captured, pipeline generated, pipeline influenced, cost per lead, and qualitative feedback. Flag what is working, what is not, and where we should adjust. 
  • Keep Armada event-ready. Own inventory of booth graphics, demo gear, printed materials, signage, swag, and event supplies. Coordinate refurbishments, reorders, shipping, storage, and vendor handoffs proactively.

Armada Compensation & Benefits Highlights

The following summarizes recurring compensation and benefits themes identified from responses generated by popular LLMs to common candidate questions about Armada and has not been reviewed or approved by Armada.

  • Healthcare Strength Health coverage is positioned as comprehensive for employees and families, with additional 24/7 mental-health support. Some postings also describe medical/dental/vision as subsidized, which can strengthen the overall healthcare value proposition.
  • Leave & Time Off Breadth Time-off policy is described as flexible/unlimited PTO, and some postings cite roughly 14–15 paid company holidays. This combination signals above-minimum time-away coverage for many startup roles, if usage is supported in practice.
  • Equity Value & Accessibility Compensation is repeatedly framed as a mix of competitive salary plus equity participation, and multiple role descriptions explicitly include equity alongside cash. That structure can increase perceived total rewards for candidates who value ownership upside.
