  • Create and maintain standard processes and checklists to ensure that each event surpasses the last in execution and impact.

Establish a Strong Community Presence

  • Contribute to the development and expansion of Buildkite's presence within developer communities, initially targeting the Bay Area.
  • Maintain an organized calendar of recurring sponsored and co-marketing programs, coordinating all details for each initiative.
  • Act as a dependable point of contact for community partners, co-sponsors, and speakers.
