ABOUT THE ROLE

Brain Co. is building the leading AI platform for government, and we're looking for an Events & Field Operations hire to own how we show up in the market. This is the person who makes sure every conference runs flawlessly, booth, branding, materials, scheduling, and the team itself all dialed in and on time.

We're hiring an Events & Field Operations lead to own how we run in the field. You'll plan and execute every conference and event the government team attends, booth, branding, materials, logistics, and the team itself, and make sure each one runs flawlessly.

You'll move fluidly between planning how an event should run and standing it up yourself: booking the booth, managing the vendors, printing the collateral, registering the team, and then being on the ground to make it all work. You should be organized enough to keep a lot of moving parts on track without dropping anything, and proactive enough to catch the thing that would've gone wrong before it does. You'll work directly with GTM, Sales, and partner closely with marketing on brand and presence.

The role is roughly 80% events and operations, 20% field. It's suited for someone who thrives on logistics and organization, sweats the details, and is equally comfortable behind the scenes or standing at a booth talking to a government buyer. You'll work directly with the GTM Lead and partner closely with marketing on brand and presence.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Own conference and event logistics end to end, registration, booths, shipping, vendor management, setup and teardown, and on-the-ground execution at every show.

• Run the calendar of events the government team attends, keeping a live tracker of dates, deadlines, who's going, and what we need for each one.

• Partner with marketing on booth design, branding, signage, and the overall look and feel of our presence, so we show up sharp and consistent every time.

• Prep and print all event materials, one-pagers, leave-behinds, decks, signage, swag, and keep a ready-to-go kit so the team is never scrambling before a show.

• Handle team logistics - register the full team for each event, coordinate travel and lodging, manage badges, and build the on-site plan for who's covering the booth and who's in which meetings.

• Run pre-conference outreach to book meetings with target buyers and partners, and manage the team's meeting schedule across each event.

• Own the post-conference process - capture leads, route them to the right reps, make sure follow-up actually happens, and track event ROI so learnings feed into the next one.

• Spot what's missing before being asked, and build the lightweight systems that make each event run smoother than the last.

WHO YOU ARE

This role is defined by ownership, organization, and execution. Strong candidates will bring:

• 5+ years in event operations, field marketing, or conference management, ideally at a B2B software or govtech company with a heavy events circuit.

• A track record of independently owning B2B event logistics end to end, booth, shipping, vendors, setup, on-site execution. You've run this yourself, not just supported it.

• Proven ability to keep a team organized and on schedule under deadline pressure, registration, travel, badges, on-site scheduling for a group.

• Detail-oriented and proactive; you catch the problem before it happens and operate to a high standard without hand-holding.

• Comfort representing the company in person - you can speak to the product, the mission, and why it matters to government buyers.

• A strong collaborator who works well with marketing on brand and creative.

• Comfort operating independently in a fast-moving, early-stage environment, and bringing structure to undefined problems without waiting for a playbook.

• Willingness to travel for the events circuit.

NICE TO HAVE

• Experience with GovTech or government-focused events (NASCIO, NLC, ICMA, state league and association conferences).

• Print and collateral production experience - managing materials to deadline.

• Experience running pre-event outreach to book buyer or partner meetings.

• Familiarity with a CRM (HubSpot) and lead capture / routing workflows.
