Experiential Marketing Lead

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 Pixar, Mitsubishi, Figma, Plaid, Match Group, 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.

Notion is an in person company, and currently requires its employees to come to the office for two Anchor Days (Mondays & Thursdays) and requests that employees spend the majority of their week in the office (including a third day).

About The Role:

Notion’s Creative Team is a group of strategists, designers, illustrators, filmmakers, writers, web developers, and producers that deliver on all of Notion’s brand and creative expressions. We're looking for a senior, process-oriented Experiential Marketing Lead who can help our team craft extraordinary conferences, special events, and brand activations.

Events are a key pillar in Notion’s marketing strategy to deliver on ambitious revenue, brand awareness, and community growth goals. As the Experiential Marketing Lead, you’ll own the day-to-day operations and production of Notion’s flagship event as DRI, driving E2E coordination across agencies and internal stakeholders for on-time and on-budget delivery of industry-leading experiences, both in-person and live-streamed. You’ll work with our regional marketing teams to plan, execute, and support a global strategy to reach Notion users worldwide, while partnering with our Community team to maintain the engagement of our passionate users that makes these events so special.

You will also collaborate with Senior Staff across our GTM and EPD orgs to ensure we’re telling Notion’s story in an exciting and impactful way, covering everything from keynote prep to attendee experience and special brand activations.

What You'll Achieve:

• Lead the development and delivery of Notion’s marquee events, especially our global user conference, Make with Notion, which hosts thousands of attendees from all around the world
• Manage event logistics and production E2E, leading agency-vendor relationships across custom fabrication, A/V, permitting, F&B, Security, etc.
• Project manage across different internal stakeholder priorities to tell a compelling and cohesive story through all event touchpoints
• Drive alignment among C-level stakeholders to ensure on-time, on-budget delivery and mitigate production and resourcing risk
• Partner with Legal, Finance, and Procurement teams to build, track, and manage contracts, budgets, and expenses
• Develop event goals and work cross-functionally to track metrics that are critical to our success; compound learnings year over year
• Work closely with:
  • Demand Gen and Sales to deliver on pipeline and attendee goals
  • Creative to deliver innovative on-site and digital experiences that engage and delight our users
  • Comms & Content to craft engaging, thoughtful, and on brand programming that both delights and provokes attendees
  • Regional Marketing in NAMER, APAC, and EMEA to ensure brand alignment, budget management, and operational efficiency
  • Growth and Social to develop event promotion and launch plan strategies

Skills You'll Need to Bring:

• 9+ years of experience as an Executive Event Producer or equivalent, planning and leading large-scale, in-person experiences. You must have exceptional domain expertise across event planning and experience managing multi-million dollar project budgets, with a preference for event experience in tech.
• Speed: You bias towards action and operate with ambition, driving stakeholder alignment and creating repeatable processes that help your team do the same
• Order agent: You love running the day-to-day operations — often multiple workstreams simultaneously — while keeping an eye on the larger prize, and are always seeking to turn ambiguity into clarity
• Skilled executor: You’re able to operate at all altitudes within an organization, from scheduling executive reviews to planning sprints to ensuring talent gets paid on time
• High EQ: you’re great at reading both people and rooms, and can adapt your operating style situationally

Nice to Haves:

• Experience using Notion - bonus points for both personal and work use!
• Familiarity with event management tools, registration platforms, CRM systems, and other event technology
