About the Job

The climate crisis is the defining challenge of our time—but it’s also the greatest opportunity for innovation, and a challenge we’re proud to take on. At Overstory, we’re harnessing cutting-edge technology to enable a resilient electrical grid that keeps communities thriving as our world changes.

The grid is the backbone of life as we know it. It powers hospitals, keeps food fresh, and ensures communities stay connected. But extreme weather, aging infrastructure, and growing wildfire risks are putting this critical system under pressure. All of this combined makes the electric utility industry the greatest opportunity for tackling climate change.

One of the leading causes of catastrophic wildfires and power outages? Trees and brush coming into contact with power lines.

That’s where we help. At Overstory, we use AI and advanced satellite imagery to pinpoint and prioritize vegetation risks before they materialize. By giving utilities critical analysis on those risks, we’re helping prevent outages, reduce wildfire risks, and accelerate the transition to a safer, more resilient grid.

Our team spans the Americas and Europe, and we work with utility partners across the Americas and beyond. We’re outdoor enthusiasts, musicians, artists, athletes, parents, and adventurers—15 nationalities strong and growing. What unites us is a passion for solving complex problems, a commitment to climate action, and the belief that technology should be a force for good.

Join us to help us build a more resilient world together.

The role

We’re looking for a savvy, hands-on Event Marketing Manager to lead our event strategy and execution for the next six months. You’ll take over a high-performing events program and make sure the wheel keeps turning—with precision, creativity, and calm.

This isn’t just about booking flights and booths (though you’ll do that, too). We need someone who understands how events fuel our brand and pipeline with utility buyers, and who can manage 50+ events (and all their moving parts) without breaking a sweat, and who can help us grow our product presence with enterprise buyers at events big and small. You’ll own logistics, drive strategy, and help us scale our impact in the field.

If you're a logistics savant who also gets the bigger picture—and you’re excited to make Overstory the most memorable grid resilience brand in the room—we’d love to hear from you.

What you’ll do

Own event execution for 50+ annual conferences, tradeshows, customer events, and field days across North America (and a handful across Europe/South America).
Manage logistics for event participation—booths, collateral, demos, speaking sessions, swag, team travel, shipments, vendor coordination, and everything in between.
Run the show, start to finish. Build event timelines, manage budgets, track tasks, and ensure every last detail is handled (so the team can just show up and shine).
Scale what works. Maintain and evolve our event playbooks, templates, and processes so we can grow fast—without reinventing the wheel every time.
Keep our brand sharp. Ensure consistency and quality across all event touchpoints, from signage to giveaways to post-event follow-ups.
Lead cross-functional collaboration with sales, design, and leadership to align on goals, messaging, and follow-up plans.
Support sales and business development by helping secure speaking opportunities, schedule customer meetings, and create standout experiences.

About you

Experience we value:

5+ years managing B2B SaaS events, ideally in a startup or high-growth tech environment.
A proven track record of owning complex logistics for high-volume event programs.
Strong project management chops and extreme attention to detail—you don’t let things slip.
Experience managing all facets of an events program, including booth design, sponsorships, partner events, and complementary customer dinners or field events.
Comfort collaborating across teams and time zones in a remote-first environment.
Bonus: familiarity with the utility space, or marketing to enterprise SaaS buyers.

Traits we value:

Calm under pressure. You thrive in fast-paced environments and know how to keep a cool head when things go sideways.
Ownership mindset. You don’t wait to be told what to do—you anticipate, act, and follow through.
Strategic doer. You think about impact and ROI, not just checklists.
Mission-driven. You care about the work we do and the world we’re helping shape.

Contract:

40 hours per week
6-month contractor agreement (with the possibility to extend the assignment)
