About The Position

Kalepa is hiring an Events Manager to build and scale a high-impact events program that drives pipeline and revenue. This is a newly created role with full ownership: turning events into a measurable, repeatable source of pipeline and revenue. You will design and execute a strategy focused on highly curated, senior-level engagement with target accounts - including private dinners, roundtables, conferences, and customer advisory boards. Events at Kalepa are tightly integrated into our enterprise sales motion. Your goal is not just to generate pipeline, but to accelerate deals, build trust with senior stakeholders, and create opportunities for deeper engagement across accounts. You will own the function end-to-end, from audience strategy and execution to performance and conversion, working closely with the Marketing Director, Sales, Product, and leadership to make events a durable competitive advantage.

Strong project management skills with the ability to manage multiple complex workstreams
Excellent written and verbal communication skills
Comfortable working cross-functionally with Sales, Product, Marketing, and senior leadership
