Events Lead

Solve Intelligence • London, London

3d • $120,000 - $150,000 • Onsite

About The Position

We are looking for a Founding Events Lead to build and run the channel that drives most of our pipeline, and the events that build our employer brand in AI engineering and IP. You'll be joining the most lean, talent-dense, and fast-moving go-to-market team in London, working closely with Partnerships and Talent. You'll be responsible for owning Solve's global events strategy end-to-end, across GTM, talent, and brand, with a focus on ROI for every event investment. This includes building and running Solve's flagship annual event from concept to delivery, leading our presence at key industry events in IP and AI, designing and running hackathons to attract AI engineers, building our employer brand presence at recruiting events, and designing and delivering curated gatherings for various stakeholders. You will work directly with leadership and other teams on event strategy and execution, owning vendors, budgets, logistics, and run-of-show with operational rigor. A key aspect of the role is leveraging AI to scale event operations, including automated event ops, attendee research, content repurposing, candidate sourcing, and follow-up sequences. You will also build the automation pipeline to connect every event to our GTM function, ensuring seamless data flow into CRM and marketing automation tools for lead scoring, follow-up, and SDR handoff, with full attribution for candidate flow from technical events.

Requirements

• Strong operational background in events at a high-growth tech or B2B SaaS company. You have run flagship events end-to-end and know what good looks like.
• Demonstrated ROI accountability. You can show how events you have run contributed to pipeline, ARR, or qualified hires, with numbers.
• Technical fluency with CRM and marketing automation tools (HubSpot, Salesforce, Marketo, or similar). You can build the workflows that connect event participation to GTM and talent pipelines, not just brief someone else to do it.
• Comfortable partnering across functions. You are equally at ease working with the Talent team on recruiting events and the Partnerships team on commercial pipeline events.
• High operational rigour. Vendors, budgets, logistics, run-of-show, and post-event attribution all handled without drop.
• Comfortable in a founder-led, high-agency culture with a small team and a high bar.
• Happy to travel internationally. This is a global remit.

Nice To Haves

• Experience integrating events into a wider GTM tech stack (HubSpot to Ashby, Zapier or n8n workflows, Salesforce campaigns, event platforms like Hopin, Bizzabo, or Goldcast).
• Experience running hackathons, technical meetups, or developer-facing events at an AI or developer-tools company.
• Familiarity with the IP, legal, or professional services market.
• Experience designing and launching a flagship annual event from zero, including concept, audience, format, and brand.
• Brand and creative sensibility. You can brief a designer and have a view on every touchpoint.
• A network in technical, AI, or enterprise events circles.

Responsibilities

• Owning Solve's global events strategy end-to-end, across GTM, talent, and brand.
• Owning ROI on every event investment.
• Building and running Solve's flagship annual event from concept to delivery, including format, audience, partnerships, content, and on-the-day execution.
• Leading our presence at the events that matter most in IP and AI (AIPLA, INTA, IPO, EPO, ICLR, NeurIPS, ICML) across the US, UK, and Europe.
• Designing and running hackathons that bring the best AI engineers and researchers into Solve's orbit, in partnership with Talent.
• Building Solve's employer brand presence at recruiting events, university partnerships, technical meetups, and AI community gatherings.
• Designing and delivering curated gatherings such as founder dinners, customer roundtables, candidate dinners, and community meetups across London, New York, and Munich.
• Working directly with Chris, Sanj, Partnerships, Marketing and Talent on event strategy, audience targeting, and execution.
• Owning vendors, budgets, logistics, and run-of-show with the operational rigour the role demands.
• Using AI to scale what was traditionally a high-touch function: automated event ops, attendee research, content repurposing, candidate sourcing from event participation, and follow-up sequences run end-to-end with AI in the loop.
• Building the automation pipeline that connects every event to our GTM function: attendee data flows into HubSpot and Ashby automatically; lead scoring, follow-up sequences, and SDR handoff run without manual lift; candidate flow from technical events lands in Ashby with full attribution.

Benefits

• Competitive base salary depending on experience.
• Significant equity, and we want you to take ownership in Solve Intelligence and share in the success that lies ahead.
• Full visa sponsorship for the UK.
• Private medical insurance (Bupa).
• 6% employer pension contribution.
• Free daily meals via our meal benefit.
