Events Program Manager in Employer Branding

WHO WE ARE 🌍

We help creators get more out of every conversation with Instagram-focused automations and support for other channels like Messenger, WhatsApp, and TikTok. The result? Better engagement, more sales, and real, sustainable growth.

With a diverse team of 350+ people spread across three continents, we’re building the leading Chat Marketing platform that is used — and loved — by more than 1.5 million customers worldwide.

WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR 🌟

Everything starts with a conversation — and the best conversations happen when smart and curious people meet, learn, and share.

At Manychat, we believe employer branding is built through real social connections: strong communities and events that make people think, “I want to work with these humans.”

We’re looking for an Employer Branding Manager (Events & Communities) who can improve and maintain a event portfolio — from presence at flagship conferences to local meet-ups collaboration and hosting — and turn it into a repeatable system that grows awareness, trust, and talent pipelines.

• Continuously scout and evaluate opportunities for: Networking (relationships, partnerships, community credibility), Presenting (talks, panels, workshops), Sponsoring (booths/activations).

• Make data-informed recommendations: attend vs. sponsor vs. speak vs. skip — aligned with hiring priorities and audience fit.

• Partner with Engineering/Product/People/Marketing to shape our presence at major industry conferences: narrative, messaging, booth concept, activities, staffing model, on-site ops, lead capture, and follow-up flows.

• Lead vendor selection and negotiations, manage budgets. Project planning.

• Build long-term partnerships with tech and product communities (Python, AI, Product, Data&Analytics, PHP, etc.) that feel authentic and mutually beneficial.

• Drive Call for Papers (CFP) process for Manychat speakers end-to-end: submission planning, deadlines tracking, abstracts support, reviewer coordination, speaker comms, and stage readiness.

• Help scale internal knowledge-sharing to grow a speaking culture and make our expertise visible inside and outside the company.

TO SHINE IN THIS ROLE 💥

You’ll need:

• Strong experience leading Employer Brand events with ownership from strategy to execution.

• Experience with tech audience events (you understand what engineers/product folks actually care about).

• Hands-on ability to build an events portfolio: calendar planning, prioritization, and ROI thinking.

• Confidence in project management, including budgets and vendors (negotiation, contracts, cost control, logistics).
