Events Marketing Coordinator presso Listen Labs

TL;DR: We’re looking for a scrappy, detail-driven Events Marketing Coordinator to help bring Listen Labs to life at conferences, trade shows, speaking engagements, and more. Events are one of our biggest growth levers — how we meet customers face-to-face, tell our story, and build momentum in the industry.

You’ll own everything from booth logistics and vendor wrangling to on-site execution and post-event follow-up. No two weeks will look the same — one day you’re designing signage or picking swag, the next you’re flying out to make sure our booth looks perfect when the doors open.

Background

Listen Labs is an AI-powered research platform that helps teams uncover insights from customer interviews in hours - not months. We work with companies like Google, Microsoft, and Anthropic to help them analyze conversations, surface themes, and make faster, smarter product decisions.

We’re a 30-person startup backed by Sequoia, growing from $0 to a $10M run-rate in under a year. We move fast, care deeply about craft, and love working with people who take ownership of their work.

What You’ll Do

• Run point on everything events — from early planning and negotiating to on-site execution and post-event debriefs.

• Handle all logistics: booth setup, shipping, badge registrations, hotel blocks, and show services.

• Manage vendors and partners — exhibit houses, printers, A/V, swag suppliers, shipping, etc.

• Plan VIP dinners, happy hours, and side events that make us stand out beyond the expo floor.

• Keep our event calendar tight and make sure every team knows what’s coming up and when.

• Partner with Sales and Marketing to nail pre-event outreach (e.g., LinkedIn ads, etc.) and post-event follow-up.

• Coordinate internal participation — flights, staffing, event briefings, team dinners.

• Keep tabs on booth assets, signage, and swag inventory (you’ll probably have opinions on tote bags).

• Track budgets and ROI to help us decide where to double down next.

• Travel to events and make sure everything runs smoothly (~25% travel).

Who You Are

• 2–4+ years of experience in events, tradeshows, or field marketing.

• You love logistics and live in spreadsheets — deadlines, checklists, and run-of-show docs are your comfort zone.

• Hands-on and resourceful: you don’t wait for direction, you make things happen.

• Comfortable negotiating and managing vendors — you keep things moving without dropping details.

• Strong project management chops — able to juggle multiple events at once without losing sight of quality.

• Clear communicator who keeps everyone in the loop.

• You bring a data-driven mindset and know how to measure what worked (and what didn’t).

• Confident with Google Workspace, Figma, project management, and event platforms — bonus points if you’ve worked with attribution, Default, Apollo, or CRM tools.

• Thrive in a fast-moving startup where you get to build systems from scratch.

• Enjoy working in person 5 days a week in SF.
