Events Manager
What you'll do
Giga Energy builds AI factories, fast. Our in-person programs are one of our highest-ROI pipeline channels, and we're just getting started scaling them.
We're looking for an Events Manager to own and expand our in-person presence as both the infrastructure and data center sales teams grow. You'll report directly to our Senior Events Manager to build the event engine that puts Giga in front of the hyperscaler, neocloud, and data center decision-makers who matter most.
This role is logistics-forward with strong instincts for guest experience. You'll run the operational backbone of our events program, including managing roadshows, tradeshows, swag, gifting, and Tier 2 events, while helping us test and launch a monthly happy hour series in key prospect cities. You'll also be the connective tissue with current customers, making sure we're showing up for them as we land and expand.
Where you'll work
Location flexibility across Houston, Long Beach, or San Francisco — with a requirement to be within 30 minutes of our facilities to manage inventory and event supplies on-site.
Responsibilities
Roadshow Series (Lead)
Own Giga's roadshow program end-to-end: venue selection, format, invites, on-site execution, and post-event follow-up
Partner with sales to set the target city list, sequencing, and account coverage for each roadshow cycle
Launch and scale a monthly happy hour series in key prospect cities, building a repeatable format we can run at increasing frequency
Build playbooks so we can scale high-quality events without reinventing the wheel each time
Tradeshow Support
Support Giga's presence at industry tradeshows: coordinating logistics, managing booth shipments, handling vendor relationships, and ensuring on-site execution runs smoothly
Work closely with the marketing and sales leads who own tradeshow strategy to make sure the operational details are locked well in advance
Own swag and collateral so the team can focus on conversations, not logistics
Customer Dinners & VIP Events
Coordinate intimate customer dinners and Tier 1 VIP experiences that deepen relationships with current accounts
Partner closely with account teams to ensure the right guests, right setting, and right follow-through
Swag & Gifting Program
Own Giga's swag inventory: sourcing, ordering, receiving, and managing stock at one of our facilities
Run a structured gifting program for key prospects and customers tied to deal milestones, events, and seasonal moments
Keep gifting thoughtful, on-brand, and operationally tight
Requirements
3–6 years of experience in event management, field marketing, or community programs, ideally in B2B tech, infrastructure, or enterprise SaaS
Proven ability to own complex event logistics end-to-end without dropping details
Strong vendor management and negotiation skills - you know how to get the best setup at the best price
Excellent interpersonal skills; you're the person who makes every event feel effortless for attendees
Highly organized and systems-oriented - you build trackers, write playbooks, and keep stakeholders informed without being asked
Comfortable operating in a fast-moving environment where priorities shift and resourcefulness is a daily requirement
Based in Houston, Long Beach, or San Francisco
Willingness to travel up to 30% for events and roadshows
Bonus points
Experience marketing to or working alongside hyperscalers, neoclouds, or large data center operators
Familiarity with HubSpot or similar CRM for tracking event-sourced pipeline
Experience building an events function from a lean foundation — you've scaled something, not just maintained it
An eye for brand — you notice when things don't look right and you fix them
