  • Airtable Brand Event Management: Spearhead the planning and execution of select Airtable-branded events, particularly high-impact product launches, both virtual and live as well as Airtable’s first user conference. Ensure consistent brand messaging, flawless logistics, and an exceptional attendee experience from concept to post-event analysis.
  • Digital launch moments: Work closely with the campaigns, webinar and product marketing teams to fully drive and own our digital launch events.
  • Budget Oversight: Take full ownership of event budgets, ensuring all events are executed efficiently within financial guidelines while maximizing impact and return on investment (ROI).

  • Stakeholder Management: Build and nurture relationships with key stakeholders, including senior leadership, external partners, and event attendees, ensuring transparent communication and clear expectations at every stage.
  • On-Site Leadership: Oversee all aspects of event setup, logistics, and on-site execution, acting as the primary point of contact to ensure flawless operations and a standout attendee experience.
  • Brand Representation: Ensure that every event consistently reflects Airtable’s brand and messaging, delivering a memorable and cohesive experience for all attendees.
  • Post-Event Reporting: Lead post-event analysis by capturing key performance metrics, attendee feedback, and actionable insights, identifying opportunities for improvement and future success.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
