Company mission
To make an easy, open-source way for everyone in your company to ask questions and learn from data.
Role
Who you are
- Proven experience organizing events (virtual or in-person), field/community marketing, for tech companies
- Excellent organizational skills, attention to detail, and ability to manage multiple projects across time zones
- Strong vendor negotiation and contract familiarity
- Comfortable with international logistics: shipping swag, foreign vendors, cross-border payments
- Self-starter, autonomous, comfortable working in a remote, asynchronous environment
- Some ability for international travel. You won’t necessarily need to attend all of the events, but you’ll need the ability to go to them if you need to be there
- Strong written and verbal communication skills
- Bonus if you have experience in SaaS, data analytics tools, or open-source communities
- Bonus if you speak multiple languages (e.g. Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, etc.)
What the job involves
- We’ve seen firsthand how powerful in-person community connection can be — from our flagship Meetabase in Argentina to customer-hosted events in Madrid, and casual bar meetups organized when team members travel through Europe
- We’re hiring someone to scale and grow this — to find new cities, book venues, handle swag, logistics, food, shipping, all the details — so that our Success Engineers can just show up, talk to customers, and build relationships
- You’ll be the person who turns a “we should do something in Berlin” idea into a real event that brings dozens of people together
- Strategically identify target cities and regions for in-person gatherings (meetups, dinners, informal events) based on community density, product usage, and growth potential
- Lead all logistics: venue selection & negotiation, catering, AV, signage, swag, guest list, travel alignment, shipping, etc
- Work with Metabase team members (engineering, success engineering, marketing) traveling internationally to piggyback casual meetups or visits
- Build standardized playbooks, checklists, and templates to scale and replicate events globally
- Manage budgets, vendor relationships, and procurement
- Coordinate with Marketing, Sales, and Success Engineering teams to ensure alignment on branding, messaging, funnel/handoff of leads from events
- Collect event feedback, metrics, and learnings; iterate to continuously improve quality, efficiency, and impact
- This role is the behind-the-scenes engine for growing our global community in real life. Every event you run is a chance for us to deepen relationships, hear real feedback, win hearts, and generate new evangelists and leads. You’re building the bridge between our product + users in the physical world
- This role will initially report to the VP of Success Engineering
Our take
Metabase is leading a new trend in Business Intelligence tools. Before it, there were big enterprise systems like SAP, and then self-service tools like Tableau and Looker. Now, open-source tools like Metabase are taking the stage, available both as a self-hosting solution and a managed cloud offering.
Metabase's open source nature has helped it build a large and active global community. The company generates revenue through professional services such as managed hosting, support, and assistance with implementing Metabase in custom analytics or business intelligence setups.
It also serves over 85,000 companies worldwide. And now, the challenge for the startup will be capturing significant revenue while continuing to stay true to its open-source principles.
