Founding Events & Community Lead

At Omnea, we’re reinventing how enterprise businesses operate, starting with the most painful parts: procurement – where a single purchase can drag on for months, trigger 50+ emails, and pull in Finance, Legal, Security, and IT just to get something approved.

We’ve raised $75M from Khosla Ventures, Insight Partners, and Accel to change that. Our AI-native platform connects every person, step, and system so buying is fast, safe, and efficient – one place to request, automated approvals and renewals, real-time supplier risk, and complete spend visibility.

It's a $7B+ untapped market, and our traction reflects the scale of the opportunity: we’ve 10x’d ARR to double-digit millions in 18 months and are trusted by global enterprises like Spotify, MongoDB, Monzo, and Albertsons. We’re now the 4th fastest growing startup in Europe.

Our team previously scaled Tessian (cybersecurity tech, backed by Sequoia, Balderton, Accel, acquired post-Series C), and our team includes ex-founders operators who’ve grown unicorns, shipped world-class products, and executed at the highest levels. You’ll work alongside leaders like Ben, Abs, Sabrina, and Rebe.

We're looking for an Events & Community Lead to be Omnea's first marketing hire in North America. This is a rare opportunity: the entrepreneurial ownership of building a loyal following from scratch in a new market, but with the funding, brand, and momentum of one of Europe's fastest-growing B2B SaaS companies.

You'll be embedded in our NYC office alongside an exceptional GTM and Customer team, and Arie Barendrecht (US, GM) who is scaling Omnea's US presence at an incredible pace. This role sits at the intersection of marketing and sales: you'll operate as an extension of the revenue team and will own a pipeline number. Events are the core of this role. You'll own Omnea's presence at trade shows, run executive dinners, build regional programmes, and create the kind of high-touch moments that open doors with enterprise buyers. Alongside that, you'll be comfortable picking up broader growth marketing activities, ranging from ABM or content marketing (e.g. videos from events).

This isn't a role for someone who wants to execute someone else's playbook. It's for someone who wants to write it and be accountable for what it delivers. It is for someone who gets energy from hosting incredible events, building meaningful connections, and taking pride in leaving a positive impression on people.

• Own Omnea's field presence across North America, with events as your primary lever: trade shows, executive dinners, hosted roundtables, roadshows, and regional programmes targeting CFOs, procurement leaders, and finance operators

• Plan and execute events end-to-end, with sharp pre/during/post motions that convert attendance into pipeline, not just brand awareness

• Build the playbook for how Omnea shows up in the US market, from which events are worth sponsoring to how we run our own

• Travel regularly to industry events across North America and make regular trips to our London HQ to stay tightly connected to the broader marketing and product teams

• Support net-new pipeline generation beyond events: running ABM programmes, coordinating with Commercial Associates, and picking up paid or digital activity where needed

• Work closely with the NYC GTM team and US GM to align on territory priorities, account strategy, and pipeline goals, acting as a peer to GTM leadership, not a service function

• Feed market intelligence back into the business, informing positioning, messaging, and product direction based on what you're hearing in the field

• Partner with our London-based marketing team (content, product marketing, design, demand gen) to localise campaigns and assets for the US market

• Measure everything: pipeline influenced, account engagement, event ROI, and conversion, and use that data to continuously optimise your approach

• As Omnea's US presence scales, you'll have the opportunity to build and lead a team of your own

• 3+ years of field marketing experience OR any experience in planning events or projects alongside a fast-paced and demanding role

• Events are your craft. You're a pro at planning & executing events or delivering delightful experiences, whether that's been in a formal work capacity (trade shows, exec dinners, annual summits) or even in your personal life! You know how to turn a room into a pipeline creation opportunity and leave people wowed

• Proven track record of delivering results, ideally in a pipeline generation capacity or anything where you can show you drove the results

• You've worked with sales teams before and understand how they operate: maybe you've sat in pipeline reviews, understand how salespeople think,

• Comfortable as a generalist when needed: you can run a paid campaign, set up an ABM sequence, or brief a landing page without needing a specialist for every task

• Entrepreneurial by nature: comfortable with ambiguity, energised by ownership, and able to build structure where none exists

• Data-driven: pipeline, ROI, account engagement, and conversion rates are how you measure success, not only attendance numbers and vibes

• You have gravitas and can communicate with senior executives

• You go the extra mile: you are willing & able to travel regularly (around the US and to our London HQ), and enjoy putting in a shift to deliver amazing outcomes

• Legally authorised to work in the United States without restriction
