[Hiring] Senior Developer Community Manager @1Password

Role Description

Developers build trust in a company through the people they meet and the experiences they have with it. We’re looking for someone to shape those experiences for 1Password.

• Lead our developer events and in-person community strategy.
• Choose where we show up, create gatherings worth returning to, and build relationships that continue after everyone leaves the room.
• Own the strategy and the details, from deciding whether a conference is worth the investment to welcoming developers at an event you helped produce.
• Start with San Francisco and New York City and help expand the program to other cities over time.

What you can expect:

• Shape our events strategy.
• Build a thoughtful calendar of conferences, meetups, and 1Password-hosted events.
• Recommend where we should sponsor, speak, participate, or host our own gathering.
• Own conference and sponsorship decisions.
• Evaluate opportunities, manage organizer relationships and budgets, partner with our events team on execution, and use results to guide future investment.
• Create developer events people want to attend.
• Plan and run meetups, workshops, dinners, and other gatherings.
• Own the experience from format and speakers through venue, invitations, and on-site execution.
• Build community between events.
• Create ways for developers to stay connected, return, contribute, and bring others in.
• Treat each event as the beginning of a relationship.
• Show up in person.
• Be an active host and 1Password representative.
• Connect events to the broader DevRel program.
• Partner with our Principal Developer Advocate on talks, technical content, and experiences that give developers a reason to engage.
• Work closely with marketing and sales.
• Build useful follow-up paths, share what you’re learning from the community, and measure how events contribute to relationships, adoption, and pipeline.
• Tell the story as it happens.
• Capture photos, short videos, and takeaways that help extend the reach of our events on LinkedIn and X.

Qualifications

• Experience building developer events or communities, ideally at a developer tools, infrastructure, or technology company.
• A track record of growing an engaged community, beyond increasing registrations or attendance.
• Strong event production skills.
• Experience managing sponsorships, vendors, and budgets, with sound judgment about where to invest.
• Comfort working with developer advocates, marketing, and sales to turn in-person engagement into lasting relationships.
• Strong relationships and communication skills with developers, organizers, speakers, partners, and internal teams.
• The ability to work independently, prioritize well, and travel as the program grows.

Requirements

• Bonus points if you have existing relationships in the San Francisco or New York developer communities, or experience working in security, identity, or infrastructure.

Benefits

• Health and wellbeing: Maternity and parental leave top-up programs, competitive health benefits, generous PTO policy.
• Growth and future: RSU program for most employees, retirement matching program, free 1Password account.
• Community: Paid volunteer days, peer-to-peer recognition through Bonusly, remote-first work environment.
