Events Marketing (Contract)

Samaya AI•New York, NY

1d•$8,200 - $9,100

About The Position

We’re looking for an experienced events marketing professional to build and run curated events for Samaya’s core audience: expert finance professionals who may use Samaya in their work to run their workflows and inform investment decisions. You'll have the opportunity to report directly to the Head of Marketing and have the opportunity to help shape Samaya's event strategy. You will own smaller-format, high-quality customer and executive experiences such as dinners, roundtables, and other intimate gatherings designed to build meaningful relationships with the right people. The right candidate will be both strategic and hands-on: someone with strong ideas, sound judgment, and the ability to collaborate while operating independently. They should be highly organized, resourceful, and clear-eyed about what makes an event successful and how to measure ROI -whether that means brand impact, relationship development, or direct revenue. This role will start as a part-time contract position, with an expected initial scope of around 20 hours per week. We see strong potential for it to grow into a full-time role for the right person as the function and business continue to evolve.

Requirements

7+ years of relevant experience in event marketing, customer events, or a closely related area

Excellent organizational skills and attention to detail across many moving parts
Breadth of experience managing budgets, negotiating with vendors, and controlling costs effectively
Know that events are not just vibes, you not only set and track success metrics, but also evaluate event effectiveness and ROI
Demonstrated AI fluency in a concrete way, such as building, testing, or integrating AI-driven workflows into how you work
Resourceful and proactive - you thrive in lean environments and you've never said "that's not my job"
Curious - you take time to understand "why?" Not always because it's required, but because you can't help yourself
Sound judgment - you make good calls without close oversight and know when to escalate vs. just decide
