Propel is currently working with a venture-backed, AI-native startup redefining how software is built and scaled in the age of enterprise AI. This is a startup to watch $80M+ recently raised, backed by some of the most respected investors in global tech, and already recognised as one of the fastest-rising AI businesses in Europe.
They are now seeking an Events Marketing Manager.
The Environment (Hybrid 3 days a week)
This is a true builder environment. The company is early, well-funded and moving fast, with a weekly product release cadence and real momentum behind what they are building. You are not stepping into a static machine. You are joining while things are still being shaped.
There is high autonomy and real ownership. You are trusted to run with your remit, make decisions and operate without unnecessary layers of process.
The Role
They are hiring an Events Marketing Manager to support and scale an already active, events-heavy programme across both community and commercial motions.
This is a hands-on, mid-level role (3–6 years' experience) for someone who enjoys being in the detail, running events end to end, and seeing tangible commercial impact from their work.
You won't be inheriting a blank slate. You'll be joining a business where events already sit at the heart of how they build developer community and enterprise traction. Your job is to ensure that programme runs seamlessly and delivers measurable commercial value.
What you'll own day to day:
• Delivering 4–6 major expo sponsorships per year across UK and US priority markets
• Managing booth logistics end to end and driving measurable ROI from those events
• Supporting lead capture, conversion and funnel progression into sales
• Contributing to which events the business attends and how they maximise return
• Operational delivery of monthly branded developer meetups
• Hosting additional AI community events in their 150-person London event space
• Being present for weekly evening events in London
• Supporting the annual tentpole event operationally
• Partnering closely with the Head of Community on developer-focused events
• Bringing a strong commercial mindset to event performance and reporting
The environment is fast, product-led and ambitious. You will operate with high ownership and clear visibility within a small, growing team.
This role suits someone who:
Has run events beginning to end, not just managed agencies or campaigns
Is comfortable rolling up their sleeves and being the doer
Understands the balance between community-building and commercial ROI
Thrives in fast-moving startup environments
Is confident working with both developer audiences and C-level technical leaders
The Culture
The team is ambitious, product-led and highly collaborative.
Marketing works closely with product, community and sales, so you are part of the wider engine, not operating in a silo.
Feedback is open and direct, but always in service of building something better.
Low ego, high standards and shared ambition are core to how they operate.
Why this, why now?
The company is at a stage where events sit at the centre of both community building and enterprise traction. They are shipping quickly, growing headcount and continuing to invest in GTM. The foundations are there. Now they need someone to help scale and commercialise an already central events programme.
The pace is high, the learning curve is steep and the impact you can have is meaningful. If you enjoy building in motion and operating close to founders in a fast-growing AI business, this is that kind of environment.
