Nscale • San Francisco, NY

73d • Hybrid

About The Position

Nscale is seeking a US Events Manager to serve as the execution engine behind its events program in the USA. This role, based in New York, involves approximately 40% travel. Nscale is developing a full-stack AI infrastructure platform, and the Americas region is key for growth in enterprise adoption, partnerships, and developer engagement. The US Events Manager will be responsible for delivering Nscale’s regional event portfolio end-to-end, taking an agreed roadmap and executing it by owning logistics, budgets, vendors, timelines, and on-site execution for various events including trade shows, executive dinners, roundtables, and partner activations. This is a hands-on delivery role for an individual who is detail-oriented, thrives under deadline pressure, and takes pride in seamless event execution.

Requirements

• 4+ years of hands-on event management experience, ideally within B2B tech, cloud, AI, or infrastructure.
• Demonstrated ownership of trade show and hosted-event delivery, from planning through on-site execution.
• Exceptionally organised and detail-oriented, with a habit of documenting everything.
• Comfortable managing vendors, budgets, and competing deadlines simultaneously.
• Calm and resourceful under pressure — able to solve problems on the floor.
• Clear communicator who keeps stakeholders informed without being asked.
• Able to work independently in a remote, fast-moving environment while staying tightly aligned to global teams.
• Willingness to travel across the US, including some global travel.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with event and marketing tooling (e.g. Splash, Cvent, Salesforce, HubSpot, Asana, Notion).
• Familiarity with the US trade show circuit, venues, and vendor landscape.
• Experience supporting co-branded or partner-led events.
• Exposure to AI infrastructure, hyperscaler, or deep-tech ecosystems.
• Confidence working with senior stakeholders and executives.

Responsibilities

• Deliver the US Event Portfolio: Execute the regional events calendar, owning delivery of each event from brief through post-event wrap.
• Run multiple concurrent events without dropping details, flagging trade-offs, risks, and dependencies early.
• Translate commercial goals into practical event plans, including target audience, format, run of show, and follow-up.
• Own End-to-End Logistics: Build and maintain project plans, run-of-show documents, timelines, and critical-path tracking.
• Oversee booth builds, demo readiness, AV, shipping and freight, registration, staffing rotas, catering, and venue sourcing.
• Act as on-site lead: set up, troubleshoot live issues, break down, and keep the wider team informed.
• Manage Budgets and Vendors: Track budgets at event and program level, raise POs, process invoices, and reconcile actuals against forecast.
• Source, brief, and manage vendors, agencies, and venues, negotiating for value.
• Maintain accurate documentation and contracts for auditable and predictable spend.
• Support Partner and Executive Activations: Coordinate delivery of partner-led and co-branded events.
• Manage speaker and executive logistics for keynotes, panels, and private briefings.
• Be a dependable point of contact for partners, sponsors, and organisers.
• Keep Every Touchpoint On-Brand: Work with design, content, and comms to deliver booth graphics, collateral, signage, swag, and pre/post-event communications.
• Ensure every detail reflects Nscale’s positioning.
• Enable Measurement and Follow-Up: Own lead capture setup, data hygiene, and fast handoff into CRM.
• Compile post-event reporting against agreed KPIs and surface practical lessons.

Benefits

• Highly competitive package (base + equity) with reviews every 12 months.
• Dynamic progression plan tailored to ambitions.
• Flexible workplace with autonomy.
• Medical, dental, vision, flexible paid time off, parental leave, and retirement plan participation.
