Cribl is seeking a Head of Corporate Events to lead a team and drive the strategy behind high‑visibility moments, from global tradeshow presence to flagship company events. You will own CriblCon, the annual kickoff, and the President’s Club, while managing a 12‑14 show calendar and a multi‑million dollar budget.

You’ll collaborate across Marketing, Sales, and Executive leadership to scale event programs, optimize vendor relationships, and report on success metrics.

Qualifications

• 8‑10+ years of experience in corporate events, field marketing, or event marketing.
• 3+ years of experience directly managing and developing a team.
• Experience owning and managing multi‑million dollar budgets, including forecasting and cross‑functional reporting with Finance.
• Demonstrated ability to work effectively with senior executives, including comfort operating in high‑visibility, high‑pressure environments.
• Strong cross‑functional collaboration skills across Marketing, Sales, and Executive stakeholders.
• Experience planning and executing large‑scale user conferences, internal company events (kickoffs), and incentive/recognition trip programs (President’s Club) is a strong plus.
• Excellent organizational, negotiation, and vendor management skills.
• Willingness to travel to the majority of Cribl’s global events (~40% travel).
• A calm, decisive leadership style that keeps a team - and a room - steady when things get chaotic on‑site.

Responsibilities

• Lead and develop a team of 4‑5 corporate events professionals, setting goals, providing coaching, and building a strong team culture.
• Own end‑to‑end planning and execution of Cribl’s tentpole events: CriblCon (user conference), annual Company Kickoff, and annual President’s Club.
• Set strategy and manage execution across Cribl’s global tradeshow calendar (12‑14 shows per year), ensuring consistent brand presence, executive engagement, and pipeline impact.
• Own and manage a multi‑million dollar events budget in partnership with the VP of Corporate Marketing and Finance, including planning, forecasting, and reporting.
• Partner directly with executive leadership to plan and stage high‑visibility moments; operate with confidence and composure under executive‑level scrutiny and pace.
• Build strong cross‑functional partnerships across Comms, Brand & Creative, Product Marketing, Field Marketing, ProdEng, and Sales to ensure every event reflects Cribl’s brand and supports broader GTM goals.
• Establish and evolve event strategy, processes, and playbooks that scale as the company grows.
• Manage vendor and agency relationships (venues, production, fulfillment, travel) and negotiate contracts to maximize budget efficiency.
• Define and report on event success metrics: attendance, pipeline/revenue influence, employee engagement (Kickoff, President’s Club), and budget performance.
• Represent the events function in cross‑functional marketing leadership discussions, bringing forward‑looking planning and risk management to the table.
