About Us:

We're on a mission to make it possible for every person, team, and company to be able to tailor their software to solve any problem and take on any challenge. Computers may be our most powerful tools, but most of us can't build or modify the software we use on them every day. At Notion, we want to change this with focus, design, and craft.

We've been working on this together since 2016, and have customers like OpenAI, Toyota, Figma, Ramp, and thousands more on this journey with us. Today, we're growing fast and excited for new teammates to join us who are the best at what they do. We're passionate about building a company as diverse and creative as the millions of people Notion reaches worldwide.

About the Role:

As the Startup Events Marketer, you’ll drive Notion’s growth and brand awareness in the startup ecosystem through a strategic, high‑quality event program across North America. You’ll create engaging experiences for startup customers, prospects, and partners. Reporting to the Startup Marketing Lead, you’ll work closely with the startups team within Growth Marketing and cross‑functional partners to deliver programs that establish Notion as an essential tool for startups.

This is a 6 month full‑time (40 hours per week) contract role based in San Francisco that has the potential for full-time conversion or contract extension. You’ll collaborate closely with the team in our office, with occasional evenings for events and some travel within the United States.

• Own end‑to‑end planning, execution, and measurement for Notion’s startup events in North America, both in‑person and virtual.

• Create experiences that bring the Notion brand and product to life with a customer‑first approach.

• Lead event operations, including vendor management, venue sourcing, contract negotiation, budget tracking, timelines, promotion, attendee communications, and post‑event reporting.

• Maintain and prioritize the startup event calendar, making fast, data‑informed decisions about where to show up and how.

• Build and continually improve processes, systems, and playbooks for event planning, execution, and measurement.

• Ensure consistent brand representation and messaging; develop event collateral, signage, and promotional materials that reinforce our positioning and values.

• Measure and optimize impact using data and audience feedback; run post‑event analyses including ROI and insights to refine strategy and tactics.
  

Skills You'll Need to Bring:

• 3+ years of experience planning and executing successful tech events, both virtual and in‑person, ideally focused on startup audiences.

• Deep knowledge of the startup ecosystem through prior experience.

• Passion for events and community building, with an eye for the details that turn good events into great ones.

• Excellence across the event lifecycle, from concept to execution, with strong attention to detail and stakeholder management.

• Strong project management skills with the ability to run multiple events simultaneously.

• Data‑driven approach to defining goals, measuring success, and iterating.

• Exceptional communication and relationship‑building skills.

• Comfortable working under tight deadlines and managing last‑minute changes with composure.

• A self‑starter with a bias for speed who can prioritize workload with shifting priorities.
  

Nice to Haves:

• Experience as a startup founder, early employee at a high‑growth startup, or in a platform role at a VC fund.

• Strong network within the startup ecosystem, including relationships with founders, VCs, and startup communities.

• Experience planning and running live podcast recordings, including on-site A/V setup, sound checks, multi-mic capture, and coordination with venues or vendors.
