Event Marketing Manager

Outset invented a better way to do research: AI-powered user interviews. We created this new category of research technology and now it's growing wildly.

Global brands like Hubspot, Microsoft, Uber and Nestle use Outset to achieve deeper, qualitative insights about their users at unprecedented speed and scale.

The research industry is massive (>$140B and growing) and ripe for disruption. Incumbents are outdated, slow, and burdened by high-cost services. That's our opportunity.

Outset is funded by some of Silicon Valley’s top investors (Y Combinator, Adverb Ventures, 20sales, Matrix Partners, Jack Altman, Ryan Hoover, among others) and recently raised our series A of 17M led by 8VC.

We are located in the heart of San Francisco’s Financial District. We are a tight-knit team of 15 serving some of the world's largest enterprise customers.
