About the Role:

Salary up to $100,000 per annum

Reporting to the VP of Growth, the Events Manager is responsible for developing and executing our in-person events strategy to drive pipeline and revenue growth for the B2B arm of DataCamp.

  • Comfortable operating independently and in a solo capacity.
  • Experience with experimentation and comfort with data analysis or working with analysts to measure program impact.
  • Strong ability and experience engaging with multiple functions/roles within an organization to execute mutually beneficial partnerships successfully.
  • Demonstrated ability to get things done, build consensus, resolve conflict, and solve business problems in collaboration with others.
