About Verkada

At Verkada, we’re rethinking what it means to be physically safe. Today, we build security cameras that detect action, identify danger and help keep people and places safe and secure. Using a combination of software and hardware, we’re transforming an industry that has seen little innovation for decades—and we already support thousands of customers. But this is just the beginning. We envision a world in which security systems feel as seamless and modern as the organizations they protect and our enterprise solution becomes a model for not just business security, but public security as well.


Overview

As a member of our Sales Strategy and Operations team, you will have an integral role in driving events that enable the sales organization to run better, faster, and smarter. As our first Corporate Events hire you will be running events from beginning to end. You will be strategizing on the vision of our events with executives and ensuring we are getting the smallest details done right. We aren’t hiring a person to hire an events company. We are hiring you to do the work and execute these events using mostly internal resources. You will be taking point on executing our quarterly Verkada SKO (Sales Kick Off) and other Sales events that motivate and train the sales org. Additionally, you will be responsible for smaller scale regional events (i.e. bringing customers together, boosting recruiting efforts).

Responsibilities

  • Plan, manage, and execute assigned events independently and with limited supervision
  • Act as a project lead for assigned events, making recommendations and holding all stakeholders accountable for their assigned area
  • Set, communicate, and maintain timelines and priorities on every project 
  • Work closely with stakeholders and team members to develop plans for each event outlining details, deliverables and initiatives required to promote and run the event
  • Coordinate and manage internal teams and external vendors in the execution of programs and maximize vendor strategic partnerships
  • We love doing all kinds of events. Jump in and help with ad hoc events and be open to embracing new challenges

Requirements

  • Desire to run high stakes events with a high growth company
  • Extremely detail oriented and organized
  • Experience with all aspects of event management including, but not limited to venue/vendor sourcing, vendor management, key stakeholder management, budget management, registration, communications, campaigns/promotion strategy
  • Demonstrated ability to manage multiple projects and priorities while remaining flexible and open to continuous growth and improvement
  • Experience in communicating and working well with executives
  • Professional demeanor to interface with internal stakeholders, external vendors and customers at all organizational levels
  • Propensity to resolve complex issues in creative and effective ways
  • Passion for learning and keeping up with emerging technology trends
  • CMP or CMM are a plus

About our team

Behind the scenes, we’re a team of computer scientists, hardware engineers and experienced founders who saw a chance to make a real impact. We’re united by the challenge of building beautiful products, designed for real people—and by our commitment to using technology responsibly. We believe keeping data private and secure is core to our safety as individuals, businesses and communities and we put great care into building systems that embody our values as people. Likewise, many of Silicon Valley’s top investors believe in us: we’re backed by Sequoia Capital, FirstRound, Meritech and Siemens (Next47).


Verkada is an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status, and encourage all qualified applicants to apply.
