About the Role
Camunda is building the future of process orchestration, and how we bring our people together matters. We are looking for an experienced events professional to own and elevate how Camundi connect, align, and celebrate as a company. This role sits on the People team, which means you will work at the intersection of culture and be aligned with company strategy. This is a hands-on production role at its core, requiring operational depth in building and executing complex, multi-day gatherings from the ground up.
What You Will Do
Camunda Kickoff (Primary Ownership)
The Camunda Kickoff is our largest internal gathering of the year, bringing together Camundi from across the globe for alignment, inspiration, and connection. You will own this event end-to-end, from the first site visit to the final retrospective.
- Lead all logistics: venue sourcing, contract negotiation, travel coordination, rooming, F&B, AV, and on-site execution, while managing an agency to assist.
- Manage a network of external vendors with clear SLAs, budgets, and accountability.
- Partner with the CEO, CPO, and functional leaders to shape the agenda and ensure it reflects company strategy and priorities.
- Curate content that is substantive and engaging, working with presenters on narrative, flow, and relevance.
- Build and manage the event budget, track actuals, and report on spend.
- Lead post-event retrospectives and apply learnings to the next cycle.
Culture and Connection Programming
- Identify and execute moments that reinforce Camunda culture throughout the year: team milestones, recognition events, and seasonal touchpoints.
- Partner with People Business Partners and the broader People team to ensure programming reflects where the company is and where it is going.
- Advise on the events calendar holistically, prioritizing impact and avoiding employee fatigue.
Operational Excellence
- Build scalable processes for event planning, vendor management, and stakeholder communication.
- Maintain and evolve the internal events playbook.
- Track and report on event effectiveness using clear metrics tied to attendance, engagement, and feedback.
What We Are Looking For
- Five or more years of direct, hands-on experience managing corporate or internal events, specifically including large-scale, multi-day gatherings with international attendees.
- Demonstrated ability to manage complex logistics, multiple vendors, and senior stakeholders simultaneously.
- Strong project management skills; proficiency with standard event and collaboration tools.
- Genuine judgment about what makes a session worth people's time, room setups, and agenda flow.
- Comfort working in ambiguity and iterating quickly in a fast-paced environment.
- A bias toward action and clear communication when challenges arise.
- Experience working in a remote or distributed environment is a real advantage.
