[Hiring] Events Operations Lead @WeTravel

Role Description

Hi! 👋 I'm Paula, Marketing Manager at WeTravel. I'm originally from Mexico and now based in Houston, TX 🇺🇸. I lead the brand marketing hub here; the people behind our events, content and community, and demand programs. Events are one of our most powerful pipeline channels: our field presence puts WeTravel in front of group travel operators all over the world. I'm looking for an Events Operations Lead to be the operational backbone of that presence—the person who makes every event actually happen, on time and on budget.

This is a hands-on, coordination-heavy role. You'll be the connective tissue across everyone an event touches—AEs and sales managers, vendors, finance, design, and event organizers, keeping all of them aligned and moving. You'll own the calendar, the logistics, the contracts and invoicing, and the day-to-day execution that turns a slate of events into a smooth-running operation. This isn't a strategy seat—the strategic direction is set with me, it's the seat that owns making it real. If you're the kind of person who brings order to a dozen moving parts and takes pride in an event that runs flawlessly, read on.

Qualifications

• Hands-on B2B field-event experience; running booths, vendor relationships, and logistics under real deadline pressure.
• Excellent communication skills and genuinely enjoy the coordination side of the job.
• Naturally organized; able to build calendars and systems.
• Comfortable owning admin tasks (contracts, invoicing, expense reconciliation).
• Able to work a sales approval chain and coordinate onsite teams independently.
• Desire to build repeatable systems and document learnings.
• Comfortable traveling for work-related events once or twice a year.

Requirements

• Experience in the travel industry, marketplace businesses, or community-led growth models (bonus).
• Familiarity with HubSpot and event ROI tracking (bonus).
• Experience building or scaling an event playbook / SOP from scratch (bonus).
• Fluency with AI tools to automate parts of the event workflow (bonus).

Benefits

• Full-time, Fixed Term Contract (International Contractor).
• Generous "Time to Recharge" policy; enjoy unlimited paid time off.
• Amsterdam Program – visit us in Amsterdam (HQ) for 2-4 weeks every year.
• Work remotely for a maximum of 4 weeks per calendar year.
• Extensive paid family leave.
• Three paid volunteer days per year.
• 2-week cross-functional onboarding program.
• Cutting-edge equipment and tools to set you up for success.
• Join an international, travel-loving team with a passion for adventure and innovation.
