Events Marketing Manager

The $250B insurance claims industry runs on fax machines, phone tag, and adjusters buried in paperwork. Cycle times stretch for months. Data is locked in legacy systems. And the workforce is aging out faster than it's being replaced.

Vega is the premier AI-native claims TPA built to replace that entire stack. Our team is equal parts experienced insurance operators and modern technologists. We care deeply about delivering superior outcomes for our clients, and we want builders that get their hands dirty shipping solutions that move the needle.

Our results: 10x YoY revenue growth, and on track for $XXM run-rate in under 2 years. Backed by marquee VCs like General Catalyst and Valor.

Vega is hiring its first Events Marketing Manager to turn our event presence into qualified pipeline. You will own our full events program, from industry conferences to the dinners, receptions and ad hoc gatherings we host for clients and prospects.

Success in this role is outlining and owning our event strategy from end-to-end, including pre-planning, organizing our presence during the event, and post-event follow-ups. You’re also allergic to boring, status-quo events. Standing out in this industry takes creative swings, and you’re the person who brings the experience and ideas that make people want to attend Vega events.
