Why Youll Love This Role

Cribl is looking for a Head of Corporate Events to lead the team and strategy behind every high-visibility moment Cribl shows up for — from our global tradeshow footprint to the events that define our culture and reward our top performers. Youll own CriblCon, our annual Company Kickoff, and Presidents Club, alongside a 12-14 show global tradeshow calendar, all while leading a team of 4-5 and managing a multi-million dollar budget. This is a role for someone who thrives on scale and visibility: youll be in the room with executives planning the moments that matter most, and on the ground making sure they land. If you love building a team, owning a budget like its your own business, and turning ambitious event strategy into flawless execution, this is your seat.

As An Active Member Of Our Team, You Will…

• Lead and develop a team of 4-5 corporate events professionals, setting goals, providing coaching, and building a strong team culture.
• Own end-to-end planning and execution of Cribls tentpole events: CriblCon (user conference), annual Company Kickoff, and annual Presidents Club.
• Set strategy and manage execution across Cribls global tradeshow calendar (12-14 shows per year), ensuring consistent brand presence, executive engagement, and pipeline impact.
• Own and manage a multi-million dollar events budget in partnership with the VP of Corporate Marketing and Finance, including planning, forecasting, and reporting.
• Partner directly with executive leadership to plan and stage high-visibility moments; operate with confidence and composure under executive-level scrutiny and pace.
• Build strong cross-functional partnerships across Comms, Brand & Creative, Product Marketing, Field Marketing, ProdEng, and Sales to ensure every event reflects Cribls brand and supports broader GTM goals.
• Establish and evolve event strategy, processes, and playbooks that scale as the company grows.
• Manage vendor and agency relationships (venues, production, fulfillment, travel) and negotiate contracts to maximize budget efficiency.
• Define and report on event success metrics: attendance, pipeline/revenue influence, employee engagement (Kickoff, Presidents Club), and budget performance.
• Represent the events function in cross-functional marketing leadership discussions, bringing forward-looking planning and risk management to the table.
• We are a remote-first company and work happens across many time-zones - you may be required to occasionally perform duties outside your standard working hours.

If You’ve Got It - We Want It

• 8-10+ years of experience in corporate events, field marketing, or event marketing, with a proven track record of leading global tradeshow programs and flagship company events.
• 3+ years of experience directly managing and developing a team.
• Experience owning and managing multi-million dollar budgets, including forecasting and cross-functional reporting with Finance.
• Demonstrated ability to work effectively with senior executives, including comfort operating in high-visibility, high-pressure environments.
• Strong cross-functional collaboration skills across Marketing, Sales, and Executive stakeholders.
• Experience planning and executing large-scale user conferences, internal company events (kickoffs), and incentive/recognition trip programs (Presidents Club) is a strong plus.
• Excellent organizational, negotiation, and vendor management skills.
• Willingness to travel to the majority of Cribls global events (~40% travel).
• A calm, decisive leadership style that keeps a team - and a room - steady when things get chaotic on-site.
