WHY JOIN EVENTMOBI AS OUR FIRST HEAD OF PRODUCT DESIGN?

Events and conferences are the cornerstone of our social and professional interaction - where ideas and connections are formed, while education and sales accelerate. Virtual or in-person, corporate events and trade conferences are one of the most impactful channels for employee engagement, customer acquisition and retention and where communities become alive.

This is a great opportunity for a fearless design leader that is excited to bring their experience to shape our design team’s culture and process. A place where you have creative freedom to influence change for a better user experience. A company where everyone appreciates and understands the impact of great design. An opportunity to mentor and build a team that is hungry for innovation and growth. A dream job where your hard work will have an immediate meaningful impact for those you work with, and those you build the product for.

EventMobi is building on its fourteen years of industry and technology experience to innovate one of the most powerful and engaging event platforms for event organizers, speakers, sponsors and attendees. We are an award-winning boot-strapped tech company with a solid financial, technical and operational foundation; with a culture rooted in Honesty, Collaboration, Growth Mindset, Empathy and Expertise.

With the post pandemic surge in online communities and virtual events, and recent comeback of in-person conferences, we believe it is now time to elevate EventMobi into a true modern all-in-one platform. A solution that simplifies the entire event management life cycle from planning and marketing, to managing data and execution of the event for all their in-person and virtual events in one place. Imagine a seamless and personalized experience for the audience where the event experience and networking doesn’t end when everyone flies back home. An experience where content and sponsorship by speakers and exhibitors drives engagement and retention year round.

We would love for you to join us and leave your mark.

ABOUT YOU

  • Engage in executive stakeholder reviews at the program and project level to ensure the design direction is aligned with the customer, and business goals.
