Job description

ABOUT CHILI PIPER Chili Piper is a B2B SaaS company that helps GTM teams turn inbound leads into qualified meetings - instantly. Our Demand Conversion Platform makes it easier for buyers and sellers to connect fast, without the usual friction in the funnel. We’re a fully remote, global team that loves building solutions that truly help our customers, moving fast, and having fun while creating something meaningful. We’re growing quickly and aiming big! ***CURRENTLY ONLY HIRING FOR THIS ROLE IN CANADA AND THE US*** ABOUT THE ROLE 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 top GTM leaders together to connect, exchange ideas, and build lasting relationships. It's how we turn a room full of people into real pipeline, and how we've built a community that actually wants to hear from us. We're hiring an Events Manager to scale these experiences and deepen our relationships with the GTM community: executive dinners, industry conferences, sponsorships, speaking moments, webinars, and ChiliPalooza. This is the person who turns our presence in a room, physical or virtual, into brand awareness, pipeline, and lasting relationships. This role is part of our marketing team and works cross-functionally with Sales and Partnerships to run Chili Piper's global event strategy.

You'll shape the annual plan, then make it happen: logistics, promotion, on-site, and follow-up, all the way through to measurable impact. This is a hands-on role. You're the one building the landing pages, pulling the CRM lists, and running the show on-site, not handing a brief to an agency and waiting. It's a strong fit for someone who is organized and proactive, thinks creatively about how we show up, and brings original ideas and a sense of humor to every event. It's fully remote, with travel to events as needed. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Own the annual event calendar.

You turn chaos into systems and think two steps ahead - Strong communicator. You coordinate cross-functional teams, vendors, and execs smoothly - Customer-first. You care about memorable, frictionless experiences from invite to post-event follow-up - Curious and eager to learn.

Application review. We'll review your background and experience to make sure there's a good fit for the role. 2. Culture add interview. A first chat to get to know you: what drives you, how you like to work, and what unique perspective you'd bring to Chili Piper. 3. Assessment. A short, practical assignment to see how you think and approach a real events challenge. It's not a test, we just want to see your creativity and thought process. 4. Executive interview. The final step. We'll talk about your bigger picture, your passion for the space, your understanding of our product, and why Chili Piper feels like the right next step for you. TL;DR We're not hiring a "planner."
