About The Position

As an Experiential Events Manager at Pogo, you'll own conferences, dinners and IRL events as core growth channels. You'll run a high volume of events year-round, end-to-end, from logistics and project management to evaluating which ones are worth doing again — and bring creative, memorable activations to how Pogo shows up in person. This role is focused on driving meaningful business impact through events, with a strong emphasis on ROI, pipeline generation, and relationship-building. It is an in-the-trenches role requiring hands-on operational execution and the ability to work autonomously in a fast-paced environment with limited structure. Travel is expected approximately twice a month, and the role requires flexibility and a willingness to go above and beyond standard working hours to achieve business goals.
