About Revel
Revel is building the next generation of software for controlling and interacting with mission-critical hardware across aerospace, energy, robotics, and advanced manufacturing. Our platform replaces outdated, complex systems with an intuitive, high-performance platform that helps engineers move faster and operate with precision.
Revel has raised $180 million from leading investors to modernize the software behind the world’s most ambitious hardware. We’re based in Marina del Rey, with a strong engineering culture and a focus on solving hard problems through thoughtful engineering and design.
Role Overview
We’re hiring a Head of Events to build and own Revel’s events function from the ground up. This is a senior, highly hands-on role with significant ownership over how Revel shows up in the real world—from defining our events strategy and calendar to delivering exceptional experiences on the ground.
In any given week, you might be designing a standout presence at a major aerospace or defense conference, producing an intimate dinner for hardtech leaders, or creating an original event that attracts the engineers and builders shaping the physical world. You’ll understand what resonates with a deeply technical audience and know how to turn that insight into experiences people genuinely want to attend, talk about, and remember.
As Revel’s first dedicated events hire, you’ll own every stage of the work: concept development, programming, budgeting, production, vendor management, promotion, and onsite execution. You’re excited to set the annual strategy, but equally willing to walk a venue, review fabrication details, pack event materials, and solve last-minute problems onsite. You’ll bring strong creative instincts, operational rigor, and a trusted network of fabricators, producers, venues, and other partners who can help bring ambitious ideas to life. You’ll also establish the systems, relationships, and playbook that allow Revel’s events program to scale.
What You'll Do
Build Revel’s events strategy and roadmap across trade shows, industry conferences, customer experiences, recruiting events, intimate gatherings, original brand activations, and internal company events.
Create memorable experiences for engineers and hardtech leaders—from compelling booth environments and technical demonstrations to dinners and large-scale brand moments.
Own events end to end, including concept development, programming, budgets, timelines, venues, contracts, vendors, production, logistics, promotion, and onsite execution.
Translate Revel’s brand and technical product into physical experiences that feel distinctive, substantive, and credible to deeply technical audiences.
Build and manage a trusted network of fabricators, producers, AV teams, venues, caterers, and other partners capable of executing ambitious ideas at a high level.
Own detailed production planning, including booth design, staffing, signage, swag, transportation, technical requirements, and run of show.
Develop audience and attendance strategies for each event, including invitations, RSVP management, attendee communications, and post-event follow-up.
Partner closely with Marketing, Design, Sales, Recruiting, Product, and company leadership to ensure every event supports clear business goals.
Define success metrics and evaluate event performance, using data and feedback to determine where Revel should continue investing.
Establish the processes and playbooks needed to scale Revel’s events program
Represent Revel at events and travel as needed to support programs across the country.
Requirements
6+ years of experience producing events or experiential programs, including demonstrated ownership of an events portfolio or function.
Proven track record building and driving an events roadmap with minimal oversight
Comfortable being the sole events person — doing hands-on execution yourself, with marketing and design as support
An established network of trusted vendors and production partners, along with the ability to identify and evaluate new partners when an idea requires something different.
