Event Marketer

OpenRouter is the largest, most battle-tested AI model exchange: 300+ models from 60+ providers, processing ~30 trillion tokens monthly. Instead of hand-rolling routing logic and juggling provider keys, you route through OpenRouter once and let Auto Router pick the best execution path for every request - with automatic failover when providers degrade.

We power some of the most advanced AI builders in the world by giving them the flexibility to move fast, scale confidently, and stay future-proof as models evolve.

The Role

We’re just getting started with events at OpenRouter, and we don’t want to do boring ones.

We’re looking for an Event Marketer that can take ideas, run with them, and turn them into events and experiences people actually want to show up to.

This is a hands-on, execution-first role. You’ll work across Marketing, Sales, and EPD to bring ideas to life - whether that’s a scrappy founder dinner, a polished conference activation, or something we haven’t tried yet.

If you’re the kind of person who hears “we should do something here” and immediately starts making it real - this role is for you.

What You’ll Do

Run events end-to-end

Execute across formats:

Conference activations and industry events

Curated dinners and small, high-signal gatherings

Partner and third-party community events

Own logistics, vendors, budgets, timelines, and on-site execution

Turn ideas into something repeatable

Take rough concepts and make them real

Build lightweight playbooks and templates as patterns emerge

Help us go from one-off events to a program that scales

Work across teams and audiences

Collaborate with Marketing, Sales, and EPD to support key initiatives

Help us show up effectively across:

Developers

Startups

AI-native teams

VP and C-level leaders

Adjust formats and execution based on who’s in the room

Coordinate partners and vendors

Work with venues, agencies, and ecosystem partners

Support co-hosted events with VCs and communities

Keep things tight and improving

Track what we’re doing and what’s working

Help bring structure as we increase volume

Who You Are

4+ years of experience running events (startup, tech, or agency)

Experience with both:

Large conferences / activations

Smaller, curated experiences

You’re a doer - you move quickly and figure things out

Strong operator with attention to detail and follow-through

Comfortable with ambiguity and changing plans

Good taste - you know the difference between high-signal and forgettable

Comfortable with AI-native workflows—you embrace automation and AI-assisted ways of working to move faster

Ability to travel regularly (amount will vary dependent upon where the hire is based)

Nice to have

Experience with AI, developer tools, or technical audiences

Experience producing events for founders, startups, or VP and C-level leaders

Experience in fast-moving, low-structure environments

Why This Role

Early role with real ownership and visibility

Opportunity to help build the events motion from the ground up

Work across multiple teams and audiences

Create events that people actually remember
