[Hiring] Community & Events Manager @Chili Piper

Role Description

At Chili Piper, community and events are at the heart of our GTM strategy. From intimate dinners to large-scale activations like our annual ChiliPalooza, we bring together top B2B leaders to connect, exchange ideas, and build lasting relationships.

We’re hiring a Community & Events Manager to help us scale these experiences and deepen our relationships with the GTM community. Someone organized, proactive, and capable of managing multiple projects with precision. This role reports directly to Rox, VP of Marketing, and works cross-functionally with Partnerships and Sales to execute Chili Piper’s global event strategy.

You’ll own event logistics end-to-end, manage collaborations, and nurture our relationships with GTM leaders and communities. You’ll also think creatively about how we show up at each event and ensure every initiative runs smoothly and delivers measurable impact.

Role Overview

• Own the annual event calendar: create and maintain the list of events where Chili Piper should have a presence
• Manage execution end-to-end: handle logistics, budgets, venues, vendors, shipments, swag, and on-site coordination
• Run event promotion from start to finish (e.g. build event landing pages, export contact lists from our CRM (Salesforce, HubSpot) to target attendees by city or segment; send invites, reminders, and follow-ups independently etc.)
• Collaborate across teams:
  • With Marketing for branding, design, and promotion
  • With Sales to identify and invite prospects and customers
  • With Partnerships to coordinate sponsors and activations
• Ensure smooth on-site execution: keep schedules on track and deliver a seamless experience for attendees
• Track performance: collect attendee data, measure engagement, and report on event outcomes and pipeline impact
• Amplify results: work with Marketing to repurpose event content (photos, videos, testimonials) for social channels and post-event communication
• Maintain relationships: build and nurture connections with GTM leaders, partners, and community members
• Manage vendors and budgets: source partners, negotiate rates, and ensure quality and cost control
• Propose new ideas: suggest creative formats and collaborations that strengthen Chili Piper’s GTM community and presence

Qualifications

• Builder mindset → you don’t wait for someone to tell you how - you figure it out
• Tech-savvy operator → you know your way around CRM exports, spreadsheets, event tools, and email automation
• Hands-on doer → you’re able to do the execution and track results yourself
• Creative problem-solver → when a venue cancels or a vendor flakes, you find a workaround fast
• Organized and proactive → you turn chaos into systems and always think two steps ahead
• Strong communicator → you can coordinate cross-functional teams, vendors, and execs smoothly
• Customer-first attitude → you care about creating memorable, frictionless experiences from invite to post-event follow-up
• Curious and eager to learn → you’re always exploring new tools, trends, and ideas to make each event better than the last
