Job description

Vendelux is building the category-defining platform for event marketing intelligence.

Events are one of the largest and most impactful marketing channels, yet historically one of the least measurable. Vendelux brings transparency and performance to this space — helping companies discover, evaluate, and optimize their event strategy with data.

Our platform powers thousands of event decisions by delivering proprietary, AI-driven insights across hundreds of thousands of events globally. At the core of our platform is a robust ecosystem of event organizer partnerships — where organizers share first‑party data, enabling richer insights for customers while receiving benchmarking and audience intelligence in return. From identifying the highest ROI conferences to enabling targeted meeting programs, Vendelux helps companies turn events into a predictable and scalable growth engine.

In addition, Vendelux Meetings extends our platform by turning insights into pipeline — using AI to identify high‑value attendees and proactively book 1:1 meetings between our customers and their ideal prospects at events. This enables go‑to‑market teams to drive measurable ROI and maximize every event interaction.

Founded in 2021, Vendelux is a Series B SaaS company backed by top-tier investors including FirstMark. We partner with many of the fastest‑growing companies in the world, and our team includes leaders from Bain, ZoomInfo, Shutterstock, FanDuel, Compass, Airbnb, Forter and beyond.

We're looking for a Partnerships Manager to grow and deepen our event organizer partner program. This is a strategic, hands‑on individual contributor role: you'll personally own relationships with key event organizer partners and the operational excellence that keeps them successful.

You'll drive retention and expansion across your book of strategic accounts—owning the health metrics, playbooks, and outcomes that keep organizers engaged—while partnering with product, data, and commercial teams as Vendelux scales. You've built and grew partner, channel, or customer success relationships at a Series A/B/C tech company and thrive in commercial, operational work.

• Deliver compelling business outcomes for your partners across onboarding, adoption, renewals, and expansion.




• Contribute to the playbooks, segmentation, and health‑scoring approaches that make the account management function scalable.

Who You Are

• 5–8+ years in account management, partnerships, or customer success—ideally in B2B SaaS.

• Nice to have: experience with data, analytics, media, or marketing intelligence platforms.
