Field Marketing Manager

Amplify is all about people, and events are central to that mission – bringing people together! Among technical founders we’ve built a reputation of bringing together top developers, researchers, and scientists in highly curated venues across the globe. Events help us build our network, get close to existing top relationships, and connect people who should know each other (e.g. introducing Modal’s cofounders).

To build and scale a world-class events function, we're hiring a Field Marketing Manager to help plan and execute Amplify events. This is a very, very detail oriented operational role designed for someone who lives for bringing people together…but also wants to bring more creativity and out-of-the-box thinking to a function that’s all too often “just logistics.”

What you'll do

• Plan and execute many of the 60+ (and growing) core events Amplify does every year, from dinners and happy hours to conference breakfasts, boat rides, and game nights.
• Own the entire event workflow: sourcing unique and remarkable venues, contracts and payment, building curated lists, and yes, making the nametags!
• Partner closely with investors to figure out how events can best support their goals.
• Push the bar on new formats to best serve our technical community (Hackathons? Tours of SF parks? Croissant tastings?).

Who you are

• You are all about the details – you notice the things that others don’t both visually and experientially. Your friends might call you “particular” and it might not be a compliment.
• You are motivated by bringing people together, and get that special warm feeling when you see 20 strangers having raucous conversation over dinner because of you.
• You feel a kinship with technical people – developers, researchers, and scientists – and want to spend most of your time around them.
• You are logistically locked in. You are highly organized, think in systems, and can smoothly manage the sometimes frenetic volume of tasks that a small events team is saddled with.
• You bring a strategic mindset that transcends the day-to-day. You can zoom out to consider fund-level priorities and zoom back in to execute on the details.
• You fear not the menial task – in the same day you will be both critically examining strategic priorities and folding and cutting nametags, and this makes perfect sense to you.

Experience you might have

• A track record running events at a technical company with a technical audience (developers, researchers, scientists).
• You’ve done this for 3+ years already.

Why Amplify

For almost 15 years, Amplify has been the first investor for technical founders, backing legendary technology companies at the earliest stages like Datadog, Fastly, Runway, Temporal, Chainguard, dbt, Luma, Hightouch, and Scribe.

As a Field Marketing Manager at Amplify you will have an unusually open-ended opportunity to shape and own your events, outside of the traditional event → lead → opportunity process. We look at relationship building as a very long horizon activity – our (event) plans are measured in years – and are open to any formats, details, or structures that will help us achieve our goals of bringing technical people together.

Salary Range: $125K-$250K. Annual discretionary bonus, carried interest, and benefits are also anticipated to be part of the compensation package.
