About you
You work in alignment with our operating values
Our operating values are the DNA of Gitpod. We hold them high, evolve them as we evolve, and integrate them into everything we do. We expect everyone at Gitpod to actively use the values as the playbook for how they show up and work.
You’re always a step ahead
You’re the friend that plans the group trip. You initiate, consider the details, plan with precision, and anticipate unforeseen circumstances, all while ensuring people respond and engage on a tight timeline. You can manage multiple, in-depth projects at the same time without missing a detail. You’re always on time, come prepared, don’t forget about things, do what you say you’ll do, and keep priorities organized to drive successful outcomes.
You value clear, succinct, communication
You can turn complex ideas into crystal-clear action items. You cut through the noise and get straight to what matters, whether you're breaking down quarterly goals for a leadership team or crafting the perfect vendor email. People actually look forward to your presentations because they know they'll walk away understanding exactly what's next.
You create legendary experiences
You don't just plan events - you craft moments that feel like stepping into another world. Every detail serves a greater vision, from the invitation that makes people's hands tremble with anticipation, to the precise moment they walk in and forget how to breathe. You're obsessed with creating experiences so perfect they feel inevitable - where every element, from the booth architecture to the smallest interaction, comes together to tell one powerful truth. When people leave your events, they don't just think ‘that was special’ - they question why anyone would do it any other way. You understand that true creativity isn't about being different - it's about being so right that you redefine what's possible.
Additionally, we're looking for someone with the most of the following:
Significant experience in guest service and events industries like hotels, restaurants, and entertainment production at extremely high quality brands
Experience or stated interest in working in tech, especially developer tools
Previous ownership of event related comms (pre-event / post-event follow-up)
Experience owning events end-to-end
Our team uses the following and we expect you to have familiarity with most of them:
Benefits
Fully remote, flexible work day
Flexible paid time off including holidays that are most meaningful to you
Parental leave for all parents
Equity
Health insurance (country-specific)
Retirement (country-specific)
Wellness allowance
Premium work-from-home equipment
Regular company off-sites
