Company Name: Camunda
Location: United States (Remote)
Type: Full Time
Salary: $133,500 – $200,000
Job Description:
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.
Camunda is looking for a seasoned events professional to own how Camundi connect, align, and celebrate as a global company. This is a hands-on production role at its core. The person who thrives here has spent years building and executing complex, multi-day gatherings from the ground up and carries that operational depth into every decision they make. If your background is primarily in communications, program management, or adjacent functions, this role is not the right fit.
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, not filler. That means 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
- You will own the event budget, track actuals against it, and report clearly on spend
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 Camundi fatigue
Operational Excellence
- Build scalable processes for event planning, vendor management, and stakeholder communication that the broader team can use
- 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. This is the non-negotiable foundation of this role.
- Demonstrated ability to manage complex logistics, multiple vendors, and senior stakeholders simultaneously without losing the details
- Strong project management skills. You use systems and tools to stay organized, not just instinct
- Genuine judgment about what makes a session worth people’s time, a room setup that works, and an agenda that holds.
- Comfort working in ambiguity and iterating quickly. At Camunda, priorities move fast, and you will need to move with them
- A bias toward action and clear communication when things go sideways
- Experience working in a remote or distributed environment is a real advantage here, given that most of our gatherings bring together people who rarely see each other in person.
- Proficiency with standard event and collaboration tools; familiarity with Asana or similar project management software is a plus
At Camunda, we honour diverse cultures and backgrounds and are proud to be an equal opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration without regard to gender, race, ethnicity, religion, belief, sexual orientation, age, disability or any other protected characteristics under applicable law.
