Events Marketing Manager - Greater London - Tessl

Description

Overview

Tessl is a fast-growing Series A startup based in London, founded by Guy Podjarny. We've raised over $100M from world-class investors including Index Ventures, Accel, GV, and Boldstart, and this year we were ranked #2 in Sifted EU's B2B SaaS Rising 100 and #20 in Sifted's AI 100. At Tessl, we believe AI is transforming software development. AI Native Developers will define features, architecture, and workflows in specs, not code, guiding the work of AI agents. We're building the pioneering platform for this new paradigm and leading the developer movement and ecosystem around it. Joining Tessl means becoming an early team member with the opportunity to shape the future of how software is created and maintained.

About The Role We're looking for an Events Marketing Manager to own the execution of our event program end-to-end, from sponsor booths at leading developer conferences to C-level dinners, roundtables, and community meetups. This role is highly operational. You'll be the person who makes sure the booth shows up, the right people are in the room, the follow-ups go out, and the momentum from events turns into engagement with our product and the AI Native Dev community. You'll work closely with Sales, Community, and Product to ensure events are measurable drivers of adoption, pipeline, and long-term developer relationships.

What you'll do

Event execution & operations

• Own the operational delivery of sponsor booths at conferences like AI Engineer and other leading developer events
• Manage all on-the-ground logistics: booth setup, staffing, assets, lead capture, schedules, and vendor coordination
• Support and execute smaller, high-touch events including:
• C-level dinners
• Executive roundtables
• Partner events
• Work with the Community Manager to support developer meetups and community events

Pre- and post-event campaigns

• Support delivery of pre-event campaigns to ensure the right people are in the room (developers, technical leaders, decision-makers)
• Set up and send basic email campaigns for sales-led events (invites, reminders, follow-ups)
• Coordinate post-event follow-ups to route leads to the right next step i.e. handoff to Sales, Product, DevRel or enter into an email nurture sequence

Lead capture & nurture

• Ensure clean, reliable lead capture at events
• Run simple nurture workflows (email sequences, follow-ups, handoffs)

Measurement & improvement

• Track event performance and outcomes (attendance, engagement, follow-ups, conversions)
• Share clear post-event summaries and insights

What we're looking for

• 3–6+ years experience in events marketing, field marketing, or community-driven marketing
• Proven ability to execute events end-to-end, not just plan them
• Comfortable running sponsor booths and engaging directly with developers and technical leaders
• Strong bias for action — you move fast, unblock yourself, and get things done
• Basic understanding of nurture campaigns and lifecycle marketing
• Hands-on experience setting up and sending emails (HubSpot, , Mailchimp, or similar)
• Results-driven mindset — you care about what happens after the event
• Organized, detail-oriented, and calm under pressure
• Clear communicator who works well cross-functionally
• Willing to travel internationally

Nice to have

• Experience marketing to developers, engineers, or technical audiences
• Familiarity with developer tools, AI tooling, or coding agents
• Experience supporting community-led events or meetups
• Comfort working in a fast-moving startup environment

Salary and benefits

Office: Our brand new 10,000 sq. ft office is in the AI hub of Kings Cross, London. We have generous catering and have regular social events such as team lunches, drinks and more. We require all staff to be in our London HQ at least 3 days a week on our anchor days of Monday, Tuesday and Thursday.

Salary: We offer a competitive salary based on experience and skills, benchmarked against industry standards.

Benefits: 25 days holiday, health insurance, including dental and vision, which extends to partners and dependents, as well as a company-matched pension. We also provide a commuting stipend for those who live outside London, and a cycle to work scheme.
