Events Manager

About Us

Our mission is to raise AGI with the richness of human intelligence — curious, witty, imaginative, and full of unexpected brilliance.
Surge was founded by engineers and researchers who dreamed of building the next generation AI. We're building a platform that powers the most powerful models in the world in partnership with companies like OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, and Google.
At Surge, we believe the path to AGI isn't just about scaling compute—it's about embracing the unlimited ceiling of human intelligence and creativity in the data that shapes these systems. Our platform combines elite human expertise with cutting-edge tools for scalable oversight, from building rich RL environments to conducting rigorous evaluations that go beyond benchmarks. We've run a profitable business from day one without raising venture funding.

The Role

As an Events Manager, you’ll own the strategy and execution of high-impact events that bring our mission to life and connect us deeply with the AI community. You’ll design experiences that highlight Surge’s leadership, foster meaningful engagement with customers and thought leaders, and translate our brand into polished, memorable moments that educate, inspire, and accelerate growth.

What You’ll Do

Develop and execute event strategies that position Surge at the center of key AI conversations
Plan and manage logistics for conferences, practitioner meetups, virtual events, and other brand experiences end-to-end
Collaborate with internal teams—including brand, research, and communications—to ensure events authentically reflect Surge’s identity and mission
Measure impact and ROI, providing insights and iterating to optimize future event strategy

What We’re Looking For

Proven experience in event strategy and execution, ideally within tech, AI, or fast-growth industries
Strong organizer and creative thinker who can design events that are both polished and impactful
Skilled at managing multiple projects simultaneously with precision and attention to detail
Collaborative communicator who thrives in high-visibility roles and fast-paced environments
