Job description

About Autonomize AI

Autonomize AI builds AI infrastructure for the business of care. We help healthcare organizations put AI agents to work across complex operations, with people setting direction, overseeing performance, and retaining accountability. Our vision is an AI-first, human-led enterprise where people have more time for the work that needs their expertise.

About the Role

We’re looking for a Director of Marketing Events & Partnerships to build programs that bring Autonomize AI into the right conversations with healthcare leaders, and turn those conversations into lasting relationships and business growth.

You will own our events strategy and execution, from major industry conferences to executive roundtables, customer gatherings, and partner programs. You will also develop marketing partnerships with technology companies, industry associations, and other organizations that extend our reach and strengthen our credibility.

This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who can connect strategy, creative programming, and disciplined execution for target executive audiences. This is NOT about building booths at large shows. You should be equally comfortable shaping an executive discussion, negotiating a sponsorship, managing an event budget, and working with sales to turn engagement into qualified opportunities.

What You’ll Own

Events Strategy and Execution

• Build an integrated events calendar aligned with company priorities, target accounts, product launches, and sales goals.
• Lead Autonomize AI’s presence at healthcare and technology conferences, including sponsorship selection, speaking opportunities, booth experiences, executive meetings, and surrounding activities.
• Create distinctive company-hosted programs, including executive dinners, roundtables, customer summits, advisory gatherings, and virtual events.
• Own end-to-end execution: budgets, vendors, venues, contracts, registration, production, staffing, and attendee experience.
• Develop event themes and agendas that make complex healthcare and AI topics relevant to executive audiences.
• Establish repeatable processes that allow programs to scale while maintaining a high standard of quality.

Marketing Partnerships

• Identify and develop marketing relationships with technology and ecosystem partners, healthcare associations, and industry communities.
• Build joint marketing programs, including co-hosted events, webinars, thought leadership, sponsorships, and campaigns.
• Work with alliance and business development leaders to translate strategic partnerships into clear marketing plans, shared commitments, and measurable outcomes.
• Manage marketing deliverables, budgets, timelines, and performance across partner programs.

Sales Alignment and Audience Development

• Partner with sales to define target audiences, prioritize accounts, and secure participation from the right decision-makers.
• Build coordinated promotion, executive outreach, meeting preparation, and follow-up plans for each major program.
• Work with customer success to involve customers in speaking opportunities, peer discussions, and advocacy programs.
• Collaborate with product marketing, content, communications, and design to create consistent messaging and compelling experiences.
• Equip sales teams with the context, materials, and next steps they need to continue conversations after each event.

Measurement and Improvement

• Define success measures before committing resources, including target-account engagement, executive meetings, qualified opportunities, and pipeline contribution.
• Own program budgets and make clear recommendations about where to invest, expand, improve, or stop.
• Maintain accurate campaign tracking and reporting in partnership with growth marketing.
• Capture attendee, sales, customer, and partner feedback and apply it to future programs.

What You Bring

• Typically 8+ years of relevant B2B marketing experience, with substantial ownership of events and partner marketing programs.
• Experience marketing enterprise technology to healthcare organizations, particularly health plans or providers.
• A record of delivering conferences, executive programs, and joint marketing initiatives that produce measurable business results.
• Strong judgment about which audiences, partnerships, and experiences deserve investment.
• The ability to translate complex technology into programming that resonates with healthcare executives.
• Excellent project management, budget management, negotiation, and vendor management skills.
• Experience working across sales, marketing, product, customer success, and executive teams.
• Comfort using CRM, marketing automation, and event platforms to manage programs and evaluate results.
• A willingness to move between strategic planning and detailed execution in a growing company.
• Ability to travel for events and partner engagements.

Experience with healthcare AI, account-based marketing, customer advisory programs, or technology alliance ecosystems is a plus.

What Success Looks Like

• Autonomize AI consistently reaches the healthcare leaders and organizations that matter most to our growth.
• Events generate substantive executive conversations, qualified opportunities, and measurable pipeline contribution.
• Partners actively collaborate on programs that expand our reach and create mutual value.
• Sales teams enter events prepared and follow through with clear ownership and timely outreach.
• Customers and advisors see our programs as valuable opportunities to exchange ideas and share their experience.
• Budgets, timelines, and execution are managed reliably, with clear evidence guiding future investment.

What We Offer

• Competitive compensation and meaningful equity
• 100% employer-paid medical, dental, and vision insurance, plus 401(k), disability insurance, and employee assistance programs
• A customer base of the largest health enterprises in the U.S. Real enterprise scale, real clinical stakes
• High ownership in one of the most consequential chapters of healthcare AI
