About the role
Onsite, full-time role based in Austin, TX responsible for leading SerpApi's presence in Austin and Central Texas through events, sponsorships, university partnerships, and community initiatives.
Responsibilities
- Assist Office Manager with customer, partner, candidate, and team member hospitality when visiting our Austin office.
- Own the annual Central Texas event calendar: conventions, developer conferences, hackathons, community outreach, and university career fairs we attend, sponsor, or skip, with reasoning documented.
- Negotiate sponsorship tiers, booth placement, speaking slots, and contract terms, and manage relationships with event organizers.
- Run booth logistics end to end, including build and teardown, staffing rota, demo hardware, collateral, and lead capture.
- Partner with our hiring team on career fairs at UT Austin, Texas State, Texas A&M, and local bootcamps and CS programs.
- Source, evaluate, and manage hackathon sponsorships across Austin and Central Texas, including prize pools, API credits, challenge tracks, and judging seats.
- Coordinate with our Developer Advocates on workshops, office hours, starter templates, and judging at sponsored events.
- Design and run our internship and local impact program covering STEM education, nonprofit technology support, scholarships, and mentorship.
- Build SerpApi's presence in the Austin tech community through meetups, user groups, coworking partnerships, and local developer events.
- Own the local events and sponsorships budget, tracking spend against plan and reporting on what each event actually produced.
- Publish an annual recap of our local community investment, the way we already publish our open source sponsorship recap.
Qualifications
- 3–6 years running events, field marketing, community programs, or sponsorships, ideally some of it in B2B technology or developer-facing work.
- Demonstrated ownership of a budget, including vendor negotiation and reconciling spend against outcomes.
- Strong written communication. We are an async, written-first company and most of your coordination will happen in text.
- Comfort with event logistics under deadline: contracts, headcount, floor plans, and whatever breaks the morning of.
- Enough technical literacy to explain what an API does and why a developer should care as well as enough understanding to explain it to a non-technical partner.
- Based in Austin and able to work on-site, with occasional evenings and weekends around events and some driving within Central Texas.
