The posting

SpaceX was founded under the belief that a future where humanity is out exploring the stars is fundamentally more exciting than one where we are not. Today, SpaceX is actively developing the technologies to make this possible, with the ultimate goal of making life multiplanetary and expanding consciousness to the stars.

SpaceXSI is building Super Intelligence to understand the universe and help expand humanity’s knowledge and capabilities. We work across the full Super Intelligence stack: compute (Colossus supercomputers), models (Grok), and applications (Grok Bot, Grok Build, Grok Imagine, Grok Voice, and X). We're creating a powerful flywheel where more compute trains better models, better models power more useful products, and what we learn from people using those products shapes what we build next.

ABOUT THE ROLE:

This is a unique opportunity to join a high-output events team focused on events and experiences for SpaceXSI. As an Events Lead, you will be responsible for end-to-end ownership of external facing events, from concept through production and onsite execution. This role is a part of the Events team where you’ll have peers to partner with, learn from, and build together.

The Events Lead will work closely with Growth, Sales, Field Growth, Community and Developer Relations to expand SpaceXSI's reach, build relationships with builders, and drive enterprise awareness, sales and product attachment.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

  • Plan and execute VIP events, special events, 3rd party events, and customer experiences from start to finish, including sourcing and managing event vendors such as venue, transportation, catering, A/V and entertainment.
  • Develop and manage event agendas, registration, invite lists, and communicate directly with high-level executive customers.
  • Provide onsite event management, including evening receptions and weekend events.
  • Ideate and implement creative branding elements, such as décor, interactive activations, themes, and custom elements, to enhance attendee experiences.
  • Lead administrative tasks for the department, including supply ordering, budget tracking, payment processing, shipping coordination, and inventory oversight with our fulfillment center.
  • Use AI extensively in the workplace to create efficiencies and automate department processes and workflows to eliminate and streamline the administrative tasks our department must carry as part of event planning.
  • Work with the Merchandising Team on customer and event gifting and branded décor items.
  • Work with security teams to facilitate guest security clearances.

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:

  • Bachelor’s degree.
  • 5+ years of experience in event planning in a fast-paced and tech-forward environment.

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:

  • Bachelor’s degree in marketing, communications, event management, hospitality, or related field.
  • Hands-on experience in all event planning aspects, including but not limited to venue sourcing, event design, vendor procurement, décor, food and beverage, logistics and entertainment.
  • Comfortable working in ambiguity and have experience building event programs and owning events in fast-paced environments, ideally in tech.
  • You care deeply about details and craft, and notice things others don’t .
  • You have strong communication skills to ensure high-quality experiences across multiple programs and teams.
  • Highly operational focused and can manage multiple complex workstreams, managing agencies and production partners.
  • Strong proficiency in all Microsoft programs, event diagramming software (Social Tables or similar), event registration platforms (Splash, Eventbrite or similar), SmartSheet or other related organizational tools

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:

  • Must be willing to travel often and work extended hours, including weekends as needed to attend and execute events.
  • Ability to pass Air Force and NASA background checks for installation access at Vandenberg and Cape Canaveral.
  • Lift/Carry: Up to 25lbs. (unassisted)

COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS:

$125,000 - $150,000 USD

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
