Senior Community & Events Marketer
About the Role
We're looking for a marketer to work directly with our Marketing Lead and own how Lightdash makes an impact globally—through events, the community, and partnerships that drive growth.
This is a role where ownership is key—you’ll:
- Decide on conference participation, event formats, and in-house initiatives
- Build and grow a community of data practitioners (Slack, LinkedIn, events, dbt ecosystem)
- Turn ideas into action, from venue logistics to speaker coordination and social engagement
We’re open to early-career marketing talent with enough experience to hit the ground running.
What You’ll Work On
Events
- Own Lightdash’s growing events presence: Choose conferences, booths vs. talks vs. side events, and self-hosted initiatives
- Manage full event lifecycles: Venues, vendors, assets, speaker coordination, registrations, and on-site execution
- Expand meetup series: Fuel audience growth and engagement
Community
- Nurture Lightdash’s data practitioner community across platforms (Slack, LinkedIn, events, dbt)
- Actively manage relationships: Identify influential voices (lurkers to Advocates), find give-back opportunities, and turn members into evangelists
- Thought leadership: Curate and contribute to conversations that shape industry trends
Content
- Transform high-impact moments (launches, customer conversations, internal insights) into blog posts, write-ups, and social content
- Own marketing calendar execution: Ensure consistent, high-quality content production
- Weigh in on campaigns: Combine writing, social savvy, and strategic storytelling

- Streamline workflows: Use AI tools, scheduling, and efficient systems to meet competencies at scale

What We’re Looking For
Core traits (must-haves)
✔ At least 1+ year in events or community management (in-house or agency). B2B tech experience is a plus ✔ Strong communication: Command the written word (e.g., outreach emails) and the room (e.g., meetup speaking) ✔ Relentless organisation: Track deadlines, vendor feedback, and attendance—nothing slips ✔ AI-first mindset: Use tools strategically to work smarter, not harder (writing, automation, actionable insights) ✔ Proactive & flexible: Identify gaps, solve problems with relentless energy; adapt to startup pace ✔ Inquisitive marketer: Eager grow across events, community, content—not content tunnel-visioned
