About the Role

In Field Marketing Operations, you're the person who turns a partner's goal into a room full of the most important people in AI. You'll be the glue executing an idea from the first call to a premier experience talked about long after it happens. This role is intended for full time applicants.

What you'll do

Own the run-of-show for events end to end: the timelines, operations, staffing, AV, and the thousand details nobody sees but everybody feels.
Turn complex logistics into a system, building the checklists, trackers, and playbooks that make each event faster and sharper to execute.
Source, negotiate, book, and manage vendor and venue relationships globally.
Coordinate partners, speakers, judges, and VIPs, from confirmation to the moment they walk into the venue.
Work with the partners to execute their vision: they have a request, you'll act on it.
Manage logistics across a packed calendar, often planning multiple events in many cities at once.
Debrief every event and continuously improve each time. You'll never make the same mistake twice.

Non-negotiables you need to have

Absurd attention to detail. You catch the thing everyone else misses, consistently.
Crystal clear, fast, and effective communication. There's no room for ambiguity with our vendors, our partners, and our team.
Calm under pressure. When AV dies 10 minutes before doors, you're already on the fix.
Excited to travel. You're willing to work occasional nights and weekends when an event demands it.
High agency. You figure out how to figure it out.
Bias to action. Get it done first, then improve after.
A host's instinct. You care how a room feels and behaves, not just whether it ran on time and our metrics were hit.
Strong systems thinking. You're comfortable calling out areas for improvement in existing processes, then acting on it.

Bonus points, but not requirements

Comfortable on-site, running point on the ground during events. First in, last out, and present to ensure as smooth an experience as possible.
A demonstrated track record proving you can run down events, operations, or other logistics (previous events / ops roles, high-bar student clubs, hackathon organization, community and ecosystem development, etc).
Experience in customer service, being able to field any request and leave every guest with a smile.
A deep understanding of the tech industry, including relevant companies, news, model launches, and the history of the last ~3 years in AI.
You're competitive about any hobby, sport, craft, or area of expertise.
You've studied, dabbled in, or learned software engineering or any complementary technical skills.
An inclination towards learning new things, adopting new tools, and experimenting with your own processes to get shit done efficiently.
An eye for design in PowerPoint, Figma, Canva, or other tools for ad-hoc requests.

How our process runs

Introductory call with someone from CV's team.
Secondary call with another CV team member.
Quick take-home project. Your time to give a sneak peek of what you bring to the table.
Final call with one of the founders.
1-2 week work trial, either full time or part time hours. Interviews rarely capture a candidate fully. Let's see how well you mesh into the team in live work scenarios.

CV hires for agency, not pedigree. CV is an equal-opportunity employer and welcomes applicants of every background. If you truly think you're a great fit and you don't fit the mold, try anyway.
