Conference & Events Manager

Auger•Dallas, TX

About The Position

On the Customer Growth team, your job is to make every conference and event something to talk about. You work with Auger’s Founders to design the experience. You coordinate every detail. You execute on-site. You make sure people are talking about Auger long after they leave. This isn't event planning as checkbox work. This is events as revenue-driving and brand-defining moments.

You’re an idea generator as well as an executor.
You can propose creative event concepts, formats, and experiences that align with business goals and audience needs.
You have strong aesthetic taste and an eye for detail—able to design event experiences that feel polished, intentional, and on-brand.
You balance creativity with rigor, managing timelines, budgets, vendors, and logistics without losing attention to detail.
You’re proactive, resourceful, and take ownership—when something isn’t defined, you define it.
