Why this role is remarkable

• Full ownership of a €150k budget and the entire event strategy without a committee or agency, reporting directly to the GTM Lead.
• Backed by a €3M pre-seed round led by Partech, Hyground is scaling rapidly, growing from 5 to 16 people in under a year.
• The opportunity to build a high-impact technical community from scratch, including launching a podcast and designing a user summit for 2027.

What You Will Do

• Manage the annual €150k event budget and decide which industry conferences, meetups, and sponsorships deserve Hyground’s presence and investment.
• Launch and host a bi-weekly podcast and video series, handling everything from format definition and guest booking to in-house production.
• Curate and host exclusive, invite-only dinners for C-level IT leaders in Germany, converting attendance into a high-quality sales pipeline.

The ideal candidate

• 4+ years of experience running events, community, or field marketing in B2B, specifically for technical audiences like SREs and developers.
• Professional fluency in German (C2/Native) and English, with residence in Germany and willingness to travel frequently across the DACH region.
• Proven ability to work autonomously and make high-stakes decisions with incomplete data, documenting reasoning and measuring pipeline impact honestly.
