Build at Auger
Auger is the autonomous operating system for supply chains. It connects enterprise supply chain systems—ERP, WMS, TMS—into a single data layer, then uses AI to detect problems, evaluate trade-offs, and execute decisions automatically. The platform eliminates the coordination tax: the time and capital lost when disconnected systems force humans to become the integration layer between planning and execution. Actions that previously required days of meetings and manual coordination happen in seconds, within constraints the customer defines.
Founded by Dave Clark and backed by $100M from Oak HC/FT. Headquartered in Bellevue, Washington.
About the Role
On the Customer Growth team, your job is to make every conference and event something to talk about. You work with Auger’s Founders to design the experience. You coordinate every detail. You execute on-site. You make sure people are talking about Auger long after they leave. This isn't event planning as checkbox work. This is events as revenue-driving and brand-defining moments.
What you'll do
Pre-Event Planning & Logistics
- Coordinate all logistics: booth space, sponsorships, speaking slots, travel, lodging, shipments
- Build pre-event outreach campaigns in collaboration with sales team
- Manage timelines and vendors: booth design, promotional materials, swag, signage
- Ensure every detail is handled so the sales team can focus on prospects, not logistics
Visual Design & Brand Presence
- Command the look and feel of Auger's presence at every event
- Design booth layouts, signage, and collateral that reflect Auger's brand: sharp, direct, substantive
- Coordinate with designers and agencies to execute on vision
- Ensure consistency across all touchpoints: booth, swag, presentations, one-pagers
Vendor & Agency Management
- Source, vet, and manage external partners: booth builders, design agencies, swag vendors, AV companies
- Negotiate contracts and manage vendor budgets
- Provide clear briefs and creative direction that align with Auger's brand and event goals
- Hold vendors accountable for quality, timelines, and budget
On-Site Execution & Operations
- Be on the ground at every major event
- Manage booth operations: setup, staffing schedules, tear-down
- Handle real-time problem-solving: missing shipments, last-minute changes, vendor issues
- Work the floor alongside the sales team: capture leads, schedule follow-up meetings, keep things running smoothly
Post-Event Follow-Up & Analysis
- Coordinate follow-up campaigns with sales and marketing
- Measure event performance: meetings booked, pipeline generated, cost per lead
- Build playbooks that make each event better than the last
Who You Are
- You’re highly organized and comfortable working in ambiguity. You enjoy figuring things out as you go—whether that’s shaping a new event format, solving last-minute issues, or adapting plans on the fly.
- You’re an idea generator as well as an executor. You can propose creative event concepts, formats, and experiences that align with business goals and audience needs.
- You have strong aesthetic taste and an eye for detail—able to design event experiences that feel polished, intentional, and on-brand.
- You balance creativity with rigor, managing timelines, budgets, vendors, and logistics without losing attention to detail.
- You’re proactive, resourceful, and take ownership—when something isn’t defined, you define it.
